How to Grow and Care for Japanese Maple Trees

Japanese maple trees thrive in well-drained soil and prefer a position with morning sun and some afternoon shade, offering protection from harsh midday rays. They appreciate consistent moisture, especially in their first year, and benefit from an annual mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly, only to shape and remove crossing branches—these beauties need little maintenance.
