If after a year or two your Japanese Maple does not seem ideally situated in your garden, don't be afraid to dig up it up and move it. (But this could also be an indication of overwatering in late summer and early fall, which will cause the tree to keep producing new green leaves in autumn instead of changing colors as it should.) If the fall foliage isn't nearly as dramatic as expected, it may be getting too much shade. If you notice its leaves scorching during the summer, it's probably overexposed to sun. It does need some sun for best foliage color, but the amount you give it can vary greatly.
