## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is New Jersey in the correct zone for this tree?**
A: It should.  this tree is hardy for zone 5 thru 9 and NJ is 6 to 7 depending where in the state you live.  you can get more info about planting zones here;  http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/

**Q: How big is this tree upon shipping?  How tall and what size container?**
A: Very tiny - they ship it loose inside a USPS Flat Rate box.  It might be 9 inches total including the height of the pot - The container is a little smaller than the lower half of a solo cup - maybe 1 cup worth of dirt.  It is just a little grafted stick, the graft spot from the original tree hasn't healed over yet, no leaves or branches, but with time and care it should probably grow.

**Q: will this tree survive in zone 9 planted in full sun ?**
A: Most maples are very hardy up to zone 8 in partial sun. I would not take the risk in zone 9 in full sun. I live on the border of zone 7-8 and full sun is just too much even in my zone.

**Q: Are these grafted trees or actual trees?  Grafted is not the same as a tree.  No where does it state this in the description of the product.**
A: Almost every unusual Japanese maple is grafted. This is because the graft root system will be more robust or vigorous. Nothing to worry about and within a few years the graft won’t be so obvious.
