Description
The Red Select Japanese Maple is a deciduous tree known for its finely dissected, lace-like leaves and its weeping growth habit. The leaves are finely dissected, giving them a lace-like appearance. They are a deep red color in the spring and summer, turning a vibrant red in the fall. Prefers full sun in cooler climates, but needs afternoon shade in southern areas.
MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance. Water regularly. Mulch in southern climates to keep roots cool. Keep pruning to a minimum and prune in fall or winter. Potential issues include stem canker, leaf spots, fusarium, wilt, botrytis, anthracnose, and root rots. Potential insect pests include aphids, scale, borers, root weevils, and mites. Chlorosis may occur in high pH soils
