Japanese Red Maple question

Aug 31, 2003 5 Replies

Hi I just got a cute little Japanese red lacy-leafed maple for my small garden. It was in a small 3 or 4 inch pot and I have transfered it to a larger pot. It sat inside for awhile but is now outside in hopes of getting more sun and with tropical storm Grace on the way some nice rain. My question is what is the best way to insure it grows and doesn't die on me? It is about 18 inches high. As usual any and all help and advice is appreciated greatly

Protect it from the wind. We've got the regular, not lacy-leaf. Wind damage causes beige spots on the leaves.

Hi Yep, Houston. I think I'll keep it potted so I can bring it in when it gets too windy Thanks for the advice.
