Maple Acer Palmatum Bloodgood(Red Maple), commonly known as Japanese maple, palmate maple is a species of woody plant native to Japan, Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, southeast Russia.
Japanese maple grows best in a temperate climate with a preferred temperature range of -5 to 27 ℃elsius. It is native to Japan where the temperature ranges from -5 to 27 ℃elsius. During the hot summer months, it is recommended to provide shade and ample water to help the plant adjust to the high temperatures. In colder conditions, it is best to protect the roots with mulch and provide wind barriers to prevent cold damage.Japanese maple has strong cold resistance, so special frost protection measures are usually not necessary during the winter. However, if the winter temperatures are expected to drop below -20°Celsius, it is still important to provide cold protection. This can be achieved by wrapping the trunk and branches with materials such as non-woven fabric or cloth. Before the first freeze in autumn, it is recommended to water the plant abundantly, ensuring the soil remains moist and enters a frozen state. This helps prevent drought and water scarcity for the plant during the winter and early spring.
