SHERWOOD ELFIN DWARF WEEPING JAPANESE MAPLE Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
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.

As with all plants from Sooner Plant Farm this tree arrived in great condition. I live in zone 9A and only plant in the fall. It arrived in a dormant state. This spring it just came to life. It is a beautiful deep color with lighter new red leaves. It height is slow growing but it is getting a very nice full bush shape. If you want a small area Japanese Maple this is the best tree. Do not hesitate to buy this tree.
