Planting
Select a suitable planting location that offers partial shade to full sun. Though they can withstand full sun in cooler regions, Crimson Queen Japanese Maples typically appreciate some protection from harsh afternoon sunlight in hotter areas. Plant in well-draining, organic-rich soil that is slightly acidic to neutral and retains moisture. Give the tree enough space to reach its full size without overcrowding, typically 8 to 12 feet away from other trees or structures. Dig a hole that is as deep as the root ball and twice as wide, loosening the soil around the edges to encourage root growth. Apply mulch around the base of the tree, taking care not to pile it against the trunk, as it helps with moisture retention, weed control, and soil insulation. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the establishment period. Pruning is rarely necessary for Crimson Queen Japanese Maples, but remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches in late winter or early spring while the tree is still dormant to maintain its health and
