Outdoors all year round, the Shishigashira maple is a species of undergrowth. It grows in the shelter of large trees that provide shade and protect it from the wind. Choose a location in full sun in spring and fall to promote growth and develop beautiful spring and fall colours. In winter, we advise you to protect it from heavy frosts (below -3°C) use a winter veil or glass wool and wrap the pot with it. So, with this protection, you can leave it outside without any problems.
