RUBY STARS UPRIGHT 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.

I purchased this ruby star maple. It came very quickly as the most beautiful and healthy tree that I ever bought on line. Also, I am very impressed by the company's prompt automatically update of my order status. Will sure be back in the future.

I bought a tree that was supposed to be 2-3 ft in height, and instead it is a bushy 4 ft. tree! Just beautiful. Sooner is the best.
