Description

Reaching a height and spread of just 1 x 1.2 metres at maturity, Acer palmatum 'Mapi-no-machi-hime' is one of the best Dwarf Japanese Maples for containers or rockery gardens. In spring, the foliage is mid-green with attractive red tinged edges. In autumn, it embraces rich, fiery shades of yellow, orange and red.

'Mapi-no-machihime' is a truly Dwarf Japanese Maple and one of the smallest varieties with palmate leaves that are not dissected. It is best planted in a moist, well-drained soil in partial shade or full sun.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Japanese Maples require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. If possible, use rain water instead of tap water as this is more acidic and better for foliage colour. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

Their natural shape is normally the most attractive, so Japanese Maples rarely need pruning. Any pruning should be carried out with a less is more approach, only removing crossing, damaged or diseased branches. Pruning should be carried out in the dormant season (November to March) as Japanese Maples bleed during other times of the year, which can weaken the branches.
