Japanese Maple in the northeast
Is it safe to leave a small Japanese Maple outside in the winter? It's
a new tree grown from a seedling this past spring/summer and I'm hesitant to leave it out all winter. I live on the CT coast. Any advice? Sunshyn |
If CT stands for Connecticut, you're quite safe. Just place it in the
ground away from the wind and sun.

It is clearly species specific. There are certainly zone 5 Japanese Maples.
If you know the species, find out what its hardiness is. in southern Vermont on lake Champlain the are examples that thrive.

Any advice? It is clearly species specific. There are certainly zone 5 Japanese Maples. If you know the species, find out what its hardiness is. in southern Vermont on lake Champlain the are examples that thrive. Rodger Kessler SLIGHT correction. Rodger is right in that some Japanese maples are more cold-hardy than others, it's his terminology that's the problem. "Japanese maples" are a single "species" -- Acer palmatum. The cold-hardiness variation comes at the "cultivar" level, as in Acer palmatum 'Kiyohime' or A. p. 'Crimson Queen'. I can't advise as to which are or are not cold hardy. Maybe your local library has Vertrees' tome on Japanese maples, or you could look at www.mountainmaples.com and see if your tree is listed and if they mention its cold tolerance. Down where _I_ live, we worry about HEAT tolerance.

I guess to be more specific, I was concerned about the seedling getting worse frost damage from being in a pot rather than the ground. Thanks for everyone's input. Sunshyn |
