Care.
To water
The Japanese maple, in particular, prefers slightly moist soil, so give it some extra water during warmer periods. Make sure the soil isn't too wet, as this is bad for your plant.
Pruning
You don't necessarily need to prune a maple, but to keep it in shape, it's sometimes a good idea to cut it back a bit. A hedge should be pruned annually to maintain a neat shape. With a Japanese maple, only prune away thin branches. Always cut just above an outward-facing side shoot. Avoid pruning thick branches. A maple hedge should be pruned into a neat shape, making sure it's slightly wider at the bottom than at the top.
Extra plant food
There's no need to fertilize the first year after planting. After that, it's a good idea to add a little garden fertilizer in early spring.
How do I plant the Cardinal's Hat?
You can plant a maple tree from a nursery pot year-round. Only postpone planting if there's a frost or if the soil is very wet. Dig a hole approximately twice the size of the root ball and as deep as its height. The planting distance depends on the mature width of the maple tree. Certain varieties can reach a width of 2,5 meters, so this is the planting distance.
