Outdoor DIY Maple Forest Material | 9 Trees

Fancy making your own Maple Forest? Look no further, in this DIY kit you will receive 9 trees and a plastic pot to get you started. 

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.

Please Note: The picture is for guidance only. It is not generally possible to send the tree in the picture. Please note that measurements given are approximate not exact. Measurements given are from the bottom of the pot to the top of the tree, the pot colour may also vary from the picture. Due to their nature trees grow and whilst in our care may need pruning, this means the tree that you receive may differ in size to that given in the description. The appearance of the tree may vary depending on the season.
