Homeowner Growing & Maintenance

Japanese Maples are moderately easy to grow and adapt to most conditions; however, they do prefer to be planted in an area that is well protected from wind, heat exposure, and drought like conditions. Feed once a year with a slow release fertilizer. To give your plant the best start possible, we include free fertilizer with every order.

Interesting Notes

Bloodgood Japanese Maple is the most popular of the Japanese Red Maples. Excellent tree as a accent or specimen. Can be used in large pots as a patio tree. Also Great around water gardens. .Photos Courtesy of OSU Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture and Sooner Plant Farm.
