Outdoors year-round, the kiyohime maple enjoys the sun. Choose a location in full sun in spring and fall to encourage branching and develop beautiful spring and fall colours. In summer, we advise you to give it an eastern exposure, with sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. Indeed, it is an undergrowth tree that does not appreciate the scorching summer sun. In winter, we advise you to protect it from heavy frosts (below -3°C) which can be devastating for your tree (example: winter fleece, glass wool, mulch and wrap the pot with it to protect the roots) So, with this protection, you can leave it outside without any problem.

The Kiyohime Maple is undoubtedly the variety we appreciate most among bonsai maples. Its natural ball shape and rapid densification make it a very rewarding bonsai, as it immediately looks like a dwarf tree in its pot.
