All,
After advice from here, I have bought a Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum
Osakazuki). It arrived from Crocus.co.uk today, and I will be planting
it tomorrow. Whats the best way to go about this - any tips ??


So long as you remember it is a calcifuge and requires an ericaceous soil.
Just to be on the safe side,mix a sachet of Sequestrine with the water,or
get some ericaceous liquid feed fro the garden shop. You will have a truly
lovely tree.
