We NEED to know where you are before we can tell you if you
need to protect anything! AOL.com doesn't tell us anything.

longing for the "old days" when you _could_ tell (most of
the time).

it all depends where you live zone 7 is ok ,if
colder better to protect
for soil teh standard sol for maples a good
drainage as usual .. they are not fuzzy for soil
mildly acidic is appreciated

I don't protect my Acers other than if very cold winds when I cover with
fleece, I usually cover if there is going to be frost of -5 or lower,

I am in Basingstoke Hampshire don't know about zones, but probably same as
you.
