Japanese Maples are sensitive to winds and are best planted in sheltered locations. If you choose to plant them in an exposed area, they should be wrapped in burlap over the winter to help protect them. Adding mulch around the root system can also help prevent them from drying out over the winter.

The bark is also prone to rabbit damage in the winter and early spring, ensure you protect their trunks during these times.

Pruning should be kept to a minimum, but if needed it can done in late fall to mid winter.
