The Japanese maple from the Far East has no special requirements but is nevertheless happy to be fertilized. We show how to fertilize maple correctly. Maple (Acer) is a diverse tree species, which can be found in temperate latitudes all over the world.<\/p>\n
While our native maple species such as the Norway maple (Acer platanoides) and the sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) can grow into huge trees, Japanese maple species usually remain small. All the more impressive is their splendid autumn coloration, which meanwhile transforms many gardens into a true color spectacle. The two most common species are the real Japanese maple (Acer japonicum) and the fan maple (Acer palmatum). These two are very similar and are both commonly called Japanese maple.<\/p>\n
Although different sorts and even different species are counted among Japanese maple, they have quite similar demands. No wonder, since they all originate – as the name suggests – from the Japanese region. There they grow naturally in forests that are rather humid and mildly temperate due to the proximity to the sea. And if the habitat is already so similar, then it is also the needs and demands that the plants make.<\/p>\n
