Vitax VTX6AF901 Japanese Maple Acer Feed 0.9kg Pouch

Product Information

Acer palmatum trees are very hardy (down to -20°C) but their new growth can be quite vulnerable to frosts, so it’s best to plant them in a sheltered spot out of cold winds. The best way to prevent vine weevils in the first place is to encourage wildlife into your garden - birds, frogs, toads and hedgehogs all eat vine weevils. Check the soil regularly - if it’s drying out too quickly and you’re having to water more than twice a week, you should move it to a more shaded spot. When planting, put some broken crockery or slate chips in the bottom of the pot to improve drainage and use a general purpose compost.
