3 Common Mistake People Make With Their Japanese Maples and Conifers. I’ve Done All Of Them 🤦🏻‍♂️ 

stop stop steady that camera.....I feel sick

I have just brought my first three maples thanks to you're channel. It gave me the confidence to give it a go. My partner passed away one and a half years ago and we have four children under 10 and gardening has been the outlet I have used to cope with my loss. Thank you again for all you do with this channel and take care my friend.

Really enjoyed the video! Happy plantings and appreciate the knowledge!

Great video. One thing I think is important to understand is that pots will get hot if sun is on them. Also, when in pots and on cement or gravel, they can bake. I make my own pot shades, and I never put pots on cement, gravel, or hardscapes unless it is 100% shaded. I would advise anyone putting these trees in pots to spend time throughout their day, every day, feeling the outside of each and every pot. Also, I use a slow release fertilizer but I put it in empty tea bags so I have 100% control of when they get it and when they don't. When I take the tea bags out in early summer, there is no residual fertilizer left for them to feed on. Also, slow release fertilizers tend to take 3-4 weeks to kick in at the beginning of Spring so I use a liquid fertilizer to get them started after winter.

This is all such good advice for Japanese Maples and really applies to any potted maple. Thank you for sharing. You have a terrific collection!

I appreciate your honest commentary. We all have areas to offer help and learn a little from each other. Be well and WOW, you have a lot of JM!!

Thank you for your tips!

Great info! Appreciate your videos. Will watch out for the sun on my plants

Good information. Thank you.

Thanks man

Great video 👍

Great Video.

Getting dizzy from motion sickness, thanks for the info.

Great video, love these maples

Thanks for your video and infos! My maple issues are currently still cold temps and too wet soil. I know the drainage in my pots is good but I think I should not repot in fall anymore. My repotted trees still do not push out much. Maybe also the rhododendron soil I used is too acidic. But I also don't dare to change the soil again now.

ya i just put up some shade cloths just because of the sun,im in the central valley and it gets teally hot here, so we do what we gotts do,,,on a lighter note i just ordered a purple ghost and a sister...love your videos....

Excellent video! Keep it up!

Good info, thanks

Something to also keep in mind. As the the container begins to fill up with roots. You will have less and less room for water. They will probably need to be watered a little more often than you think. The container will become full of more roots than potting soil. When that happens it can't hold on to as much water than normal.

My goodness! That is a spectacular collection. Did you collect all of them in one year? It seems this sunlight situation came on suddenly, so I assume this is the first year with them. I just started getting interested in maples due to my new found love for bonsai. My most special tree is the one I received from my father the year he passed, so, It's a physical reminder of him. It was the last thing he gave to me when I moved to my current house. The tree was only a volunteer plant that he ripped out of his neighbors gravel driveway. I smile every time I think of how it came to me... ripped out from by the roots and gifted in a plastic grocery bag. But it's the most beautiful tree today.

Thanks for the information, I have my first Japanese maple and you gave me lots of information to work with.

Thank you for the wealth of information! I have a dwarf mature Japanese maple that was planted yesterday. Is there anything else that I need to do?

Thanks for the information because i know nothing about japanese maples, but this sounds interesting!

i watched few of your video's now, i like your content, going deep in to maple's is nuts! 😎

Saludos desde Chile,. tambien soy un fan de los Arces y de apoco me estoy haciendo de algunas variedades; las que por eswte lado del mundo se pueden conseguir.😀

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed ‘touring’ your garden. It so happens that I just bought one shade cloth from Amazon, hoping to set it up soon. My question: what zone are you in? I am in 5b. my trees just barely leaf out and the sun is bright but not scorching yet.

I think you need some grass or greenery planted in the ground, and ponds etc, basically setup a Japanese Garden in your backyard to give it more beauty and possibly cool it off some.

Mr Nutz, thank you for your videos. I’m curious. With all the plants in containers you have, I am commenting now which is end of August, winter will be approaching soon. Fall is beginning, but what do you do with all your plants in containers? How do you protect your maples for the winter?

Good stuff man, loving ur maples. All great points.

can you dig up a Japanese maple or ever green in the middle of summer and relocate it?

Why is there so much concrete in your backyard/ Did it used to be a plant nursery? You sure love J. maples!

Yooo bro keep doing updates you’re my new maple buddy

Where you get those label things for your pots?

Thankyou, just bought my first Japanese maple

I watched another video on RU-vid where the the sun reflecting off the house window burned their tree. I just bought a couple of Shin deshojo maples, and I'm trying to avoid killing them 😆

If I remember correctly, Matt & Tim said that heat-tolerant JMs may crisp in the sun the first year you own it, but once established, it won’t.

This video, made me proud of myself. 😊 Because although I want so many Japanese maples, I still consider where I’m at and where I can put it. I’m in Central Texas so Instead, I buy roses!😂 Also, I hardly fertilize my Japanese maples that is why they’re not as big.

Cool dude 👍👍 just subscribed

Video bien hecho y muy informativo. Muy bien bro, me gustan tus videos. I got like 40 japanese maples. I also lost a few, for overwatering. They start turning black at the base of the tree.

what is that yellow conifer?? It really lights up the yard.

#maplenutz 🍁😎☀️🥜

My maple tree leaves are turning brown from the heat and trunk was green now a little brown. Might be poor drainage. Any suggestions into saving it. Also noticed grass hoppers in both of mine.

Can you move the camera more slowly? The swinging back and forth is very hard to watch and is almost vertigo inducing

Do you need to replace the pot mix? If so how often?

Amigo buenas noches tengo una pregunta que tierra usas para los maples y cada que los riegas están hermosos saludos.

What zone are you in?

I’ll take any of your crispy JMs for my shadier, much cooler climate!🤣

Pots/containers dry out quicker because of wind evaporation. I watch mine carefully and it takes several hours to do the rounds to water my collection. As for fertiliser, I use 40ml of Tomorite (Tomato feed) or 40ml of Liquid Seaweed in a 9.5ltr watering can. I seem to be doing ok, so far….

Hola, vivo a 2163 metros de altura. ¿La altura afecta en algo a los Japanes Maples?? hasta el momento tengo solo 6 variedades, las más antiguas van a cumplir 3 años conmigo. Excelente video, me gusta como eres honesto y muestras todo no solo la parte bonita (qué para mí en realidad todo de tus videos es bonito)

How to do you treat white powder mildew on the Japanese maples?

My name is Patrick I need help on a pine tree what should I do for the pine trees and I have a peach tree I have a disease I don't know what to do

In regards to your grow medium, how do you get your ph dialed in?

i got a headache watching you pan.

Same mistakes I made, lost a lot of trees last year because of those mistakes, my first year having Japanese maples ,didn’t know anything about it and pay for it.

I see that you still kept many of your maples exposed to direct sun. Are there some varieties that are more resilient?

I get sea sick from all your camera movement :D please consider not moving too much left and right.

No please whip the camera around faster...

Will you please sell me some maples man! Plzzz

i got motion sickness from this.. very bad slow video..

I am not sure why you have a giant back yard that looks like a tennis court, then all these tiny one gallon nursery pots on the edge. (I think part of flower and shrub gardens is design, not just an abundance of plants). I have to limit my JMs to less than a dozen, because I want to have other plants too. I had to get only JMs specifically good for heat, so that eliminates most JMs. Collecting is fun, but at some point, it can be too mucn.

Oh my god .. get to the point man
