While growing Japanese Maples can be a challenge in northern climates, many homeowners find the effort rewarding. Although classified as a Zone 5 tree, it's important to remember that Japanese Maples aren't particularly cold-hardy. Planting them in areas protected from wind is essential. Be sure to plant this tree at least 8-10 feet away from any buildings or structures to allow sufficient space for its full mature spread.
