Hello Bonsai members, I live in the Denver area(mile high city) and have just picked up a japanese red maple. My last maple died over the winter so I don't have alot of expierence with maples in the sumer/fall out here. I've heard the red leaved maples aren't as hardy as their green leaved counter parts. This worries me.
Does anybody around this area have any maples and can give me some tips and tricks on successfully growing them here?

How much sunlight? How much shade?
Overwintering them?
additional food or vitamins given to help with climate?
Anything else?

Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions.
