Vitax VTX6AF901 Japanese Maple Acer Feed 0.9kg Pouch

Product Information

If you’ve got vine weevils you’ll see little c-shaped white grubs about 10mm long with brown heads amongst the soil and notches in the leaf margins, perhaps accompanied by the culprits - 9mm black beetles with a yellow mark on the wing cases.

When planting, put some broken crockery or slate chips in the bottom of the pot to improve drainage and use a general purpose compost. In pots : Acer feed can be mixed with compost when repotting or worked into the surface of existing pots as an annual top-dressing. With 40 years experience in the horticultural industry, where better to obtain gardening advice than from Cowell's, the family garden centre. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Rake, hoe or fork into the top surface of the soil, and in dry weather, water well for maximum benefit.

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. Acer palmatum trees are very hardy (down to -20°C) but their new growth can be quite vulnerable to frosts, so it’s best to plant them in a sheltered spot out of cold winds. In the garden: Apply Acer Feed as a spring top-dressing at a rate of 120g per square metre beneath the spread of the branches. Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description.

If it’s in a pot you can easily solve the problem by moving it somewhere with a better balance of light and shade (not too bright, not too dark).They’re sometimes found on new growth in the spring, and if not removed can result in distorted or stunted growth. If you think about the climate we have in the west of Scotland, and how well Acers grow here, that gives you a clue to the conditions they like best.

Perfect for both new and established plants, blooming Fast Acer Feed is an organic granular feed combining the nutrients essential for the health growth of Japanese Maples. Water your Acer regularly for the first year after planting, to encourage the tree to establish a good root system - this is particularly important if you plant in spring or summer.

These destructive little bugs can occasionally affect Acers in pots - their grubs eat the roots and the adults eat the leaves. A general purpose fertiliser can also help to keep your tree healthy - give it a sprinkle every spring.

With trees planted in the ground this tends to be a result of too much competition for light from surrounding trees - give any taller trees a trim and you should see an improvement.In pots : Acer feed can be mixed with compost when repotting or worked into the surface of existing pots as an annual top-dressing. They need repotting very two or three years, only moving them up a small amount at a time to prevent young, fragile roots drowning in too much moisture. Potted trees need more watering - make sure the soil doesn’t dry out, especially in the summer months. To prevent this, keep on top of weeds because some of them can carry the fungus without showing any symptoms.
