I recently bought an acer palmatum plant which I planted beneath a tree and near a wall because I be under the indentation that it needs shade. Today I bought a strange one and the employee at the nursery told me that it wants light otherwise it will turn green from flushed. That confused me a lot. Since I live within Greece where we enjoy so much sun, I am afraid that if I plant it away from shadow it will die. On the other hand the point that I like give or take a few acer palmatum is its reddish color.I live 3 km (1.86 miles) away from the the deep and in a low altitude. What should I do? Live the first one be and plant the different one in similar conditions or plant the current one in accessible sun and move the old one towards a sunnier location?
Japanese maple will do fine in some shade and probably prefers some sun protection surrounded by such a sunny climate, however more sun will produce deeper red leaves (if it is a red-leaf variety). I'd leave the planted one alone as long as you are sunny with it (location, branch color). If you want to move it, wait until autumn.
There are many various KINDS of acer palmatum. Some are green, some red, some cutleaf, some broader, upright, weeping...and they enjoy differen light requirements. You can't put one blanket condition on adjectives acer palmatum.
If your tree is upright, it most predictable will need some more oil lamp.
If it's cutleaf, red, and weeping, like a Crimson Queen japanese Maple...consequently it will be perfectly pleased in the shade, and it will not turn green. I know one of those trees intuitively in my neighbor's backyard - living within FULL shade, for the past 15 years, and growing, and apparently faultlessly content.
Answers: Acer, I believe that is to say a "maple". They like "partial sunlight"
Keep it close to the edge of the shadow and elevated above concrete or other surface that may reflect grill up to the bottom on the leaves.
