Product Information
Full details
The Yorkshire Bonsai 'Deshojo' Japanese Maple is an ideal choice for both novice and experienced bonsai enthusiasts looking to add a vibrant, seasonal focal point to their outdoor collection. Its primary benefit is its stunning, color-shifting foliage that creates a dramatic visual impact throughout the growing season; however, potential owners should note that it is a deciduous tree, meaning it will appear bare and go dormant during the winter months from November through March.

FAQs
Is this tree suitable for indoor use?
No, the Japanese Maple is a temperate outdoor tree that requires a winter dormancy period and exposure to seasonal changes to survive.
When does the tree grow leaves?
The tree typically begins to bud and grow leaves in early spring and will lose its foliage during late autumn, remaining bare from November through March.
Does the pot come with drainage holes?
Yes, each tree is supplied in a 15cm pot specifically designed for bonsai with an integrated drainage hole to prevent root rot.
How often should I water my Deshojo?
Water when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry to the touch. During hot summer days, you may need to water daily.
What is the total size of the bonsai?
The total height of the tree, including the pot, is approximately 30-40cm.
Troubleshooting
Leaf edges turning brown and crispy
This is usually caused by exposure to strong wind or intense afternoon sun. Move the tree to a more sheltered position.
Tree loses leaves prematurely
Check the soil moisture; both overwatering and extreme drought can cause leaf drop. Ensure the pot has proper drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your tree, place it in a stable, wind-sheltered outdoor spot. For the first few days, keep it in partial shade to allow it to acclimate to your local light levels. During the growing season, ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged; check the surface daily. If the soil feels dry to the touch, water thoroughly until it drains from the base. Fertilize lightly during the active growing season (spring through early autumn) to support leaf development. During the winter months of November through March, the tree will enter dormancy. Move it to a sheltered area, such as a cold frame or against a wall, to protect the roots from extreme frost, and reduce watering significantly as the tree is no longer transpiring.
