Average Size

Planting
Select an appropriate location for planting that offers both partial shade and full sun. Although Butterfly Japanese Maples are able to withstand full sun in cooler climates, they typically prefer some protection from intense afternoon sun in warmer areas. Choose a well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Japanese maples thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil with optimal moisture retention. Leave ample room for the tree to grow and reach its full size without overcrowding. Plant Butterfly Japanese Maples at least 4 to 6 feet away from other trees or structures. Create a planting hole that is as deep as the root ball and two to three times as wide. Loosen the soil around the edges of the hole to promote root growth. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree, but avoid piling it against the trunk. Mulch helps retain moisture, suppresses weeds, and insulates the soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the tree's early growth period. Butterfly Japanese Maples
