The
exposure to bright light improves the autumn colour.
Anyway shade the tree
in high summer, to avoid burnings to the leaves. In
winter shelter it from very cold temperature (-10 C and
over).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everyday,
in the vegetative season. Water less frequently,
but do not let the soil get dry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start
fertilizing as soon as the buds open. Once a
week, during the first month, then every two
weeks up to late summer, setting aside the
summer months.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
alternate years, for the first 10 years; then,
according to the needs: when the roots
completely fill the pot. Use universal mould.

|
|
In
spring, shorten the new growth to 2-3 leaf buds.
Remove the biggest leaves during the whole
vegetative season. Keep the internodes closer,
removing drastically the longest ones. The
complete trimming by mid-summer gives smaller
leaves and a brighter autumn colour. The best
moment to wire it is just after the trimming.
