Acer Palmatum ‘Mountain Maple’ Bonsai Tree

The mountain maple is one of the most popular outdoor, deciduous trees for bonsai. It is a flamboyant, showy tree which is fairly easy to keep. In early spring, the new eaves emerge a pale green or bronze colour, they turn slightly darker in summer and finally flame red in autumn. 

Mountain maples can withstand cold temperatures but only for brief periods. If prolonged freezing conditions are forecast, protect in an unheated greenhouse or shed. 

In summer they can be kept in full sun and will produce better autumn colours than if grown in the shade. However, provide protection from fierce sunlight so that the foliage doesn’t become scorched. 

They like a lot of water. Never let the soil dry out completely.
