Acer (Maple)
We grow both species and Japanese maples. They are highly adaptable to a wide variety of growing conditions, and fairly simple to grow. They can be grown in most types of soils ranging from neutral to acid. They can adapt to a heavy soil if not planted too deeply. The most important thing is that they never dry out. The use of a hydrophilic gel (such as Soil-moistTM or TerrasorbTM) when planting can help in maintaining soil moisture levels. Another limiting factor in Japanese maple culture is soil temperature. The roots of the plants can be killed if the soil in which they are growing drops too low. In colder climates this can be prevented by applying an organic mulch after the ground freezes. In areas where winter temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, Japanese maples grown in containers should be over-wintered in a cold frame or other unheated structure. All of the varieties that we grow are suitable for Zones 5 through 8. In warmer climates, more care and shade is necessary.
