- Feeding: While feeding isn't strictly necessary, your acer may benefit from a feed using general-purpose fertiliser in late February.
- Pruning: Pruning group 1 - only light pruning required. Remove any diseased, damaged or congested branches towards the end of winter to help maintain a healthy framework with good circulation.
