Coral Bark Japanese Maple trees prefer well-draining soil rich in organic matter. They grow best in soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. Slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH around 5.5–7.0) is ideal. Avoid heavy clay or compacted soils that hold excess water, as this can lead to root stress. Adding compost or organic matter at planting can help improve soil structure and drainage.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
