With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall the leaves take on a glorious brilliant crimson-red color that is truly a sight to behold. A fantastic sight in the garden.

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Pung Kil Japanese Maple is best used as a specimen or containers to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, you can plant several in a grouping or use two to frame an entryway.

Suggested Spacing: At least 14 feet apart for space between trees

Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.

Growing Preferences

Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow in the ground or in containers.

In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands.There are many sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties, of which Pung Kil is one.

Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
