Acer Palmatum Dissectum Garnet - Japanese Maple Tree

The tree is typically supplied at a height of 50–60cm, potted in a 3–5 litre container.

It prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun, especially in cooler climates, provided the soil is kept consistently moist and it is protected from harsh winds.

The ideal time for pruning is late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges. Focus on removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Japanese Maples are outdoor trees and are not suitable for growing indoors. They require seasonal changes and outdoor conditions.

The 'Garnet' Japanese Maple requires well-drained soil. Amending heavy soils with compost or grit can improve drainage. It prefers slightly acidic soil.

While known for its deep red summer foliage, the color can intensify or shift slightly in the autumn, offering continued seasonal interest.

No, it is best planted in a sheltered position. Strong winds can damage its delicate foliage and potentially harm the branches.

This can indicate insufficient watering or too much direct, hot sun. Ensure consistent moisture and consider relocating to a spot with more afternoon shade. Protect from strong winds.

Often caused by dry soil or windburn. Increase watering frequency during dry periods and ensure the plant is in a sheltered location. Check for adequate drainage to prevent root issues.

Check the root system for signs of rot (if in a pot) or confirm the plant is receiving adequate water and appropriate light. Ensure it is not planted too deep.

Minor infestations can often be washed off with a strong jet of water. For persistent issues, use insecticidal soap or neem oil, following product instructions carefully.
