About this Japanese Green Maple Bonsai, Trained, 27 Years Old (Acer palmatum)
27 years of work have shaped this green-leaved Acer palmatum, now 22 inches in height with branches spanning 18 by 21 inches. Japanese maples of this type are tough and straightforward to grow, and they suit a deck, terrace or garden bed where they can be seen at close range. Give the tree a sunny position, since both the spring flush and the late-season change read better in good light. Being deciduous, it stays outside, where the natural cycle of the year can run its course.
Japanese Maple bonsai care

- Light
- A sunny, airy place; dappled shade in hot weather; indirect light once temperatures reach 85°F (29°C)
- Water
- Evenly moist: water daily in the growing season; it must not dry out completely
- USDA zones
- 5 to 8; not every cultivar is fully hardy in zone 5
- Main risks
- Main risks, not ranked by any source: verticillium wilt, which cannot be treated and spreads on tools; drying out, which damages fine roots
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Japanese Maple bonsai care guide.
