Forest planting of Acer in mixed varieties (57)

Presentation

A composition of several Japanese maples (Acer palmatum) in different varieties, arranged as a forest planting in a single oval pot. The canopy alternates deep red foliage with paler, finely cut leaves, while trunks of varying diameter give depth to the scene. Created for those who already have experience with deciduous species and are looking for a group planting of considerable size.

How to care for it

The Japanese maple lives outdoors all year round, in a bright spot but sheltered from direct sun during the hottest hours between June and August: the red foliage tends to scorch at the edges. With a pot just 7 cm deep the substrate dries out quickly, so in summer you need to check the water even twice a day, while in winter it is enough to keep the root ball just slightly moist.

Frequently asked questions

Is the plant I receive the one in the photo?

Yes, it is a one-of-a-kind specimen and the image shows the very plant that will be shipped. As it is a living plant, the foliage may look different from the photo due to growth, pruning, pinching or the normal seasonal change of the leaves.

How much space does it take up and how much does it weigh?

The oval pot measures 47 x 36 cm with a height of 7 cm, while the plant alone reaches 51 cm. The total weight, including pot and substrate, is 13 kg: a stable shelf and a support able to hold the entire oval base are required.

Can I keep this forest planting indoors?

No. The Japanese maple is an outdoor deciduous tree and needs its winter rest with leaf fall. The correct position is on a terrace, balcony or in the garden; indoors, temperature swings and dry air will damage the foliage within a few weeks.
