Japanese maple, Acer palmatum kasima, Outdoor-Bonsai
The Japanese maple, acer palmatum, covers a multitude of varieties that are among the most beautiful bonsai trees. The delicately filigreed foliage dazzles for the entire vegetation period with the most beautiful shades. The intensity of the colours depends heavily on the amount of sunlight. The water requirement is relatively high during the vegetation phase. As always, however, the amount of water depends on location, the state of the tree and the season. The tree can be damaged by overwatering but also by the root ball becoming dry.
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.
