The Japanese maple from the Far East has no special requirements but is still happy about fertilization. We show you how to properly fertilize maple.<\/strong>
\nIn contrast to native maple species, the Japanese maple grows much more compact and its leaves are much finer than those of other maple species<\/p>\n

Maple ( Acer<\/em> ) is a diverse tree genus that can be found in temperate latitudes around the world. While our native maple species such as the Norway maple ( Acer platanoides<\/em> ) and the sycamore maple ( Acer pseudoplatanus<\/em> ) can grow into huge trees, Japanese maple species usually remain small. All the more impressive is their splendid autumn colors, which meanwhile transform many gardens into a true color spectacle. The two most common types are the real Japanese maple ( Acer japonicum<\/em> ) and the Japanese maple (Acer palmatum<\/em> ). These two are very similar and are both commonly referred to as the Japanese maple.<\/p>\n

Although the most varied sorts, even different types, are counted among Japanese maples, they have quite similar claims. No wonder, because they all come – as the name suggests – from Japan. There they grow naturally in forests that are rather humid and mildly tempered due to their proximity to the sea. And if the living space is so similar, then it is also the needs and demands that the plants make.<\/p>\n

The basic rule of fertilization is: The most beautiful autumn colors are those of the Japanese maple that was least fertilized. So less is definitely more. The decorative plants usually grow on stony ground in their homeland, where nutrients are not exactly sown in abundance. Therefore fertilize as needed and sparingly.<\/p>\n
