Flowering
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Most acers and maples have somewhat insignificant flowers. The flowers can be green, yellow, orange or red, and usually appear in early Spring, and are an early source of nectar and pollen for bees.
Planting
From Late Winter TO Early Spring
Smaller varieties can be grown in pots and containers. The best time for planting is late Winter / early Spring, before the leaves appear
Propagating by grafting
From Early Summer TO Mid Summer
Some acers or maples are best propagated by grafting. This certainly applies to 'Shirasawanum' varieties.
Propagating by cuttings
From Late Spring TO Mid Summer
Propagation methods vary according to the variety. Most varieties are propagated by means of softwood cuttings.
