Also, make sure the planting hole is scarified so the new roots can penetrate into the native soil and that there is some drip irrigation at the outer edge of the planting hole so the roots are encouraged to move outward. Make sure the planting hole is twice as large as the root ball, and ensure the roots are spread outward in the planting hole. Japanese maples are highly susceptible to Verticillium wilt, which is a soil based disease that causes wilting in leaves and kills branches progressively. Test your soil for soil diseases before you plant a prized Japanese maple.
