How to Grow Ever Red Japanese Maple

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    The Beautiful Ever Red Japanese Maple. Known for holding it's Deep red color through the season. The Fall color is quite amazing as well. The foliage turns to a fiery orange red. This Japanese maple makes a great bonsai or a specimen plant.

  2. Step 2

    Cultivation: Select a site that has good drainage and partial shade. Morning sun and afternoon shade is best or dappled shade is great too.

  3. Step 3

    Dig a hole about twice the size of the root ball. For a vigorous healthy maple amend your soil with organic matter and incorporate a slow release fertilizer. bury the root-ball to where the old soil line is. Water in well.

  4. Step 4

    I also suggest adding a layer of mulch two to four inches deep. Be sure the mulch is not touching the trunk of your maple or it will rot. Water your maple every other day for a week until it is established.
