Maintenance Tips for Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki'

Caring for your Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki' ensures it thrives and continues to enhance your garden's beauty. Follow these essential maintenance tips:

• Planting Location: Choose a location with partial shade to protect from intense afternoon sun, especially in hotter climates. Ensure the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter.
• Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage color.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Remove dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Prune lightly to maintain the desired shape and remove any crossing or overcrowded branches.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Leave space around the trunk to prevent bark rot.
