Acer palmatum Dissectum

20 years ago

I acquired this tree in RI last spring and moved it to Maine in November. It spent the winter in a very cold garage. Earlier this spring we planted it and it is doing really well but it is too close to the house. With all the rain and continued cool weather we are having, do you think it is still possible to move it?

It is best to wait til fall but if it has just recently been planted and the weather is cool I see no problem doing so now ...it has not probably estabklished much new growth or root system and up there it's still basically eatly spring I assume weather wise......Do so of an evening and water well and mulch ..it should be fine ..If you were in a hotter, more "normal" june area and the tree had been in the ground for a while I would not suggest this...but in your area it will probably be fine...David

Thank you, David. You are probably right that it hasn't had time to establish a root system or new growth.

Tall habit with dark, deeply lobed leaves. Look at pictures and descriptions in JAPANESE MAPLES or MAPLES FOR GARDENS.
