Planting and Care Tips
Plant
To plant, select a site with well-drained, slightly acidic soil and protection from strong winds. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the root flare, and position the tree so the flare sits at ground level. After placing the tree, backfill gently with native soil, water thoroughly, and spread mulch around the base to retain moisture, keeping mulch a few inches away from the trunk.
Feed
Fertilizing should be done in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer such as 10-10-10. Feeding should be light, as over-fertilizing can encourage weak or leggy growth.
Water
The Laceleaf Maple thrives in soil that stays consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week during dry periods, especially in the first two years of establishment, to help prevent leaf scorch.
Prune
Pruning should be kept minimal to preserve the tree’s natural cascading form. Perform any shaping or removal of dead or damaged branches in late fall or winter when the tree is dormant, avoiding large or heavy cuts.
