How do I protect my Japanese maples during fall?
I absolutely adore my Japanese maples, and they've been a focal point in my garden. As fall sets in, I'm a bit anxious about how to protect them from the harsher weather that can accompany the season here in Kyoto. I’ve read that the falling leaves can be beneficial, yet I worry about potential frost. I want to ensure they remain healthy and vibrant through the winter months. I’ve tried mulching around their bases, but I’m not sure if that’s enough. Should I consider wrapping them, or are there other protective measures I should implement? I’d love any advice on keeping my cherished trees safe and thriving! 🌳
