These are beautiful potted seedlings and their leaves stay small when the tree grows making these trees very delicate looking. Description : (Sunset Zone A3,2-10,12,14-24,31-41, USDA Zone 5). Fast growing deciduous tree. Certainly a classic tree for bonsai culture. Its deeply refined character creates an easy effect of size. Small leafed tree is good as single tree or used in groves. Spring growth is light green turning dark green in summer. Leaf color turns red, yellow and orange in fall. We prune our maples several times during the growing season to develop many branches. Basic Care : Grows best in light shade. Never allow root ball to dry out completely. Protect tree from direct hot summer sun and winter freezes. Feeding : Fertilize just before and during growing season until autumn. Many brands of fertilizer are available and it is beneficial to use a variety of these. Price does not include shipping.
