Hot Chana® Japanese Maple Tree

Discover the charm of the Hot Chana® Japanese Maple Tree, with vibrant foliage and striking seasonal color that adds beauty and elegance to any garden.

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a location with partial shade to ensure the best color and growth. Dig a hole that is twice as wide and slightly deeper than the root ball. Backfill with the original soil and water thoroughly.

2. Watering: Ensure consistent moisture, especially during the first year. Water deeply to encourage root establishment, but avoid soggy conditions. Once established, the Hot Chana tree is relatively drought-tolerant, but regular watering during dry spells will keep it healthy.

3. Pruning: Light pruning is best done in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and remove any dead or crossing branches. This encourages a strong structure and enhances air circulation.

4. Fertilizing: A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring will support healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for appropriate application rates.
