Mulch, Not Fertilize, for Japanese Maples

Don’t fertilize your Japanese maple in summer—doing so can scorch its roots. Experts say the last fertilizing should be early May. Instead, focus on mulching with wood chips or pine needles to shield roots from heat and retain moisture, mimicking their natural woodland habitat. Keep mulch 2-3 inches away from the trunk and water well. This simple step keeps your maple thriving through hot summers. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
