How to maintain your Acer Red Emperor once established?
Acer Red Emperor prefers a partial shade position with protection from harsh winds. It grows best in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils (pH 6.0 - 6.5).
Water regularly, especially when first planted and during drier spells.
Fertilize in early Spring with a slow-release, balanced, or acid-loving tree fertilizer.
Mulch with 2 - 3 inches of mulch, at the base, to help keep the roots cool and retain moisture. Keep the mulch away from the trunk to avoid rot.
