Expert Tip

For the best autumn colour, position Japanese maple ‘Chitose-Yama’ in a spot where it receives morning sun and afternoon shade, and avoid overly exposed or windy sites—combining with ferns or hostas enhances its visual effect and helps conserve root moisture.

Care and guidance:

Position Acer palmatum ‘Chitose-Yama’ in a sheltered site with partial shade, avoiding harsh afternoon sun and strong winds. Plant in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil that stays cool in summer. Water regularly during dry spells, particularly when young or in containers, but do not allow to become waterlogged. Mulching in spring improves moisture retention and root health. Pruning is generally not required beyond removing dead or damaged wood.
