Planting

When selecting a location for planting, opt for partial shade to full sun conditions. While Japanese maples can endure full sun in cooler regions, they generally prefer some shelter from intense afternoon sun in hotter climates. The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter. Japanese maples thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil that retains moisture. Allow enough space for the tree to grow to its mature size without overcrowding, typically around 6 to 8 feet for Burgundy Lace Japanese Maples. Additionally, make sure to dig a planting hole that is as deep as the root ball and two to three times as wide. Gently loosen the soil around the edges of the hole to promote root growth. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree, avoiding contact with the trunk. This will help retain moisture, prevent weed growth, and insulate the soil. Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, especially during the tree's establishment phase. Proper pruning is usually unnecessary for Burgundy Lace
