Vitax VTX6AF901 Japanese Maple Acer Feed 0.9kg Pouch

Product Information

Thank you very much Fairygirl, I appreciate that, fortunately they always come back each year but I would like to give them the best to prolong their best growth. If Acers could choose their soil, they’d pick a slightly sandy, acidic type but they’ll grow well anywhere as long as it's moist and well drained. Rake, hoe or fork into the top surface of the soil, and in dry weather, water well for maximum benefit.

The Vitax Acer Japanese Maple Feed is made up of 3 major plant foods, nitrogen, phosphate and potash, all 3 of these with natural magnesium and trace elements to give natural and healthy leaf growth. You can prevent leaf scorch by planting (or positioning your pot) in a sheltered spot out of direct sunlight where the tree will get some dappled shade. If your Acer is in a pot you’ll have to water more often - in hot weather this can be as much as twice a day to make sure the soil doesn’t dry out. Vitax Organic Acer Feed contains the three major plant foods - nitrogen, phosphate and potash, together with natural magnesium and trace elements to encourage healthy leaf growth and vibrant colours.

To prevent this, keep on top of weeds because some of them can carry the fungus without showing any symptoms. It’s also a good idea to apply a coating of mulch around your trees - this keeps the weeds down, helps the ground retain moisture and adds nutrients. As used by multi-award winning nurseries, M183 formula plant feeds help produce show-winning plants. All you need to apply is to have a debit or credit card, to be over 18 years of age, and to be a UK resident.

If your tree is affected, you might see the leaves yellowing or suddenly wilting and the branches dying back. For best results, apply during planting to get new plants off to the best possible start and reapply as a top dressing in spring. Acer trees (Acer palmatum or Japanese Maples) are some of the most versatile and compact little trees you can plant in your garden and better still, they're really easy to look after.

With 40 years experience in the horticultural industry, where better to obtain gardening advice than from Cowell's, the family garden centre. As an annual feed for Acer, in pots the feed can be mixed with compost when repotting, or worked into the surface of existing pots as an annual top-dressing. Premium M183 Acer / Maple Tree Feed Concentrated Plant Food with Growth Optimiser, formulated and balanced for Acer / Maple Trees. Tiny black, white or green aphids won’t usually do too much damage, but it’s worth checking for them regularly so they don’t get out of control.
