My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

container for Japanese maples

12 years ago

My husband bought be a beautiful Sango kaku coral bark Japanese maple a couple months ago. We are renting at the moment so I will be needing to grow it in a container for a year or two til we can buy a house (hopefully no longer than that) it's about six feet tall right now. I keep reading it's good to slowly increase the container size, so I'm wondering what size pot would be good to start with?

Also when is the best time to re-pot?
