About this Japanese Green Maple Bonsai, Land and Water Pot, 8 Years Old (Acer palmatum)
An 8-year-old Acer palmatum, 15 to 16 inches tall, planted in a land-and-water pot. One side of the composition is a water well, arranged so the tree reads as though leaning picturesquely over the shore of a mountain lake, and a fisherman figurine is included with the planting. Give it sun and the foliage takes on its best color in early spring and again late in the season. Green maples of this kind are hardy and easy to grow, suiting a patio, deck or garden. Deciduous, and kept outdoors through the year.
Japanese Maple bonsai care
This is a living Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoor only — it requires a genuine winter dormancy and will decline indoors
- Light
- Full morning sun with light afternoon shade in summer; protect foliage above ~85 °F (30 °C) to prevent leaf scorch
- Water
- Keep evenly and consistently moist — never let the rootball dry out, but do not leave it waterlogged. On the "wet" side of the spectrum.
- USDA zones
- 5–8 (some cultivars tolerate 9; protect roots below zone 6 in containers)
- #1 cause of death
- Verticillium wilt (often introduced by dirty tools / summer pruning); also leaf scorch and root drying
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Japanese Maple bonsai care guide.
