<< We are having an extra warm spring in Pennsylvania. Can Japanese maples
take direct sunlight this time of year when it gets in the low to mid 80's? >>

My maple bonsai are out in the sun, & while it hasn't been quite that warm
here, I have had no complaints. It depends a lot on the variety. The thread
leaf Japanese maples are more sensitive. Use Pro-TeKt. it really helps.
