Location:
The location is outdoors in a sunny to semi-shaded place which is sheltered from the wind. If the temperature is not too high, full sun can also be also tolerated but please note: In spring when new shoots are breaking and in summer protect the tree from direct midday sun.
Winter storage:
The maple is planted in a pot but has only limited hardiness. It is therefore better to place the maple, at temperatures from minus three to minus five degrees, in a frost-free room, such as a garage or cold house. The temperature should not be allowed to go over five or six degrees, however. The plant must maintain its winter hibernation phase. Please note: in spring, the new buds should be protected from late frosts.
