Inaba Shidare Weeping Japanese Maple Care
The Inaba Shidare Weeping Japanese Maple needs full sun to partial shade and has average water needs. Give the plant a drink weekly or when the top few inches of soil dry out.

Feed the Inaba Shidare Weeping Japanese Maple a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring. This tree naturally maintains a rounded shape and does not need to be pruned. Remove dead or damaged growth as needed.
