[IBC] Shantung Maple
Tim:
Acer truncatum has much greater "toughness" than the traditional Japanese Maple. This maple characteristically has a spreading canopy with attractive foliage that turns red, red-orange in late fall. Tolerates heat and alkaline soils. It is hardy to Zone 6 and tolerates full sun to part shade. It is my understanding that it has not adapted to far west Texas. If this is a yound tree, wrap the trunk with a loose cloth on the hottest days during the first three years to prevent damage from the sun. Good Luck, Cordially, Michael Persiano members.aol.com/iasnob/index.html ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by John Quinn++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
