I just received a Golden Full Moon from Mr. Maple. This isn't my first maple but the first that I will be growing in a container. I picked an utra oxy air pruning pot and have a question on the soil mix I plan on using. I was going to using a mixture of 35% pine bark mulch, 25% compost with biochar, 15% coco coir, 10% Earthworm Castings and 15% perlite.... Does this seem to be a good mix or should I go with something else.

You probably don't need the perlite as you are already using pine bark mulch which is chunky. I love this Maple! 'Autumn Moon' below.

I have this tree, and it gets a lot bigger than I expected, as tall as the second story of my house. Keep that in mind when you containerize it.
