VIDEO: How to Pot a Japanese Maple in a Container || Flock Finger Lakes

Watch as Summer Rayne Oakes @FlockFingerLakes demonstrates how to plant a Japanese Maple tree in a container.

Japanese Maples prefer a more neutral to slightly acidic soil pH (5.5 – 6.5 pH). Summer uses Espoma Organic Potting Soil Mix to provide the proper growing medium and uses Espoma Organic Soil Acidifier and Espoma Organic Holly-tone to feed and promote more acidic soil conditions.

If your soil already has the proper soil Ph then we recommend using Espoma Organic Tree-tone when fertilizing your tree. For all plantings, we also recommend using Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus.
