In this episode, the discussion centered around whether Japanese maples can thrive in full sun. The hosts explained that while most Japanese maples prefer early morning sun and late afternoon shade, there are varieties that can handle full sun exposures, particularly if they receive some protection during the hottest part of the day. They emphasized that Japanese maples are generally native to shaded environments and perform well in shaded or partially shaded areas. However, they also highlighted a significant selection of cultivars available at MrMaple.com that are specifically suited for full sun conditions. They recommended checking their website or Facebook page for updates and photos of their available cultivars, noting that almost all discussed varieties are showcased there.
