Average Size

Planting

Kurenai Jishi Japanese Maple flourishes in well-drained, acidic soil. It grows best in areas with partial shade to full sun, but shielding from intense afternoon sun can prevent leaf scorching. During planting, make sure the root ball is at the same level as the soil surface and regularly water, especially in dry spells.
