Care
Japanese maples can best be planted from March to the beginning of October. The soil is warmer, and the plants can easily root during this period. Japanese maples are strong plants, but in a windy location, the leaves can easily get damaged. Therefore, place the Acer in a sheltered spot. The plant prefers a location in semi-shade, preferably with not too much direct sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can cause the roots and leaves to dry out, leading to leaf damage. A Japanese maple is not evergreen, which means that it loses its leaves during the winter. However, this plant is very hardy and will sprout again in March with beautiful new leaves. The Shaina is a slow grower with a narrow upright growing direction that keeps the plant compact. This allows you to grow this tree in a pot or in a smaller garden.
