Outside all year round, protect the pot to prevent the roots from freezing in winter and shelter it from the wind that is too cold. The burger is less hardy than the palmatum, so it will be necessary to protect it in winter as soon as the temperatures drop below -3°C. On the other hand, it tolerates the sun quite well, but still prefer an eastern exposure to avoid overheating in the middle of summer. It handles hot winds quite well and the leaves are less likely to toast than other Japanese maples. But that's no reason to take unnecessary risks; Grow it in partial shade by watering regularly in summer. In spring and fall, you can put it in full sun to promote small internodes (spring) and beautiful orange colors (in fall).
