For those of us in the hot southern states, use a nice thick layer of pine bark mulch (kept away from the trunk) to keep the roots cool and give them consistent water (consistent, not constant). I also have had great success with preserving the leaves by applying a gentle misting of Wilt Stop on the leaves every 6-8 weeks or so in the heat of the summer. FYI, the Mr. Maple guys sold me an XL 3g Sango Kaku that has been sitting in my front yard in full blazing sun (6+ hours) and the leaves are maintaining perfectly! I actually bought three of them, but the other two seem to need more shade.
I keep my favorites mobile too!! Lol! When I moved to my new house, it looked like I was moving a small nursery! Didn’t even realize I had that many potted plants to move. I have several trees from MrMaple! Thanks for an informative video yet again!
Watch Jim’s channel as well. I bet he was in hog heaven being there lol. I know he picked up penguin and hot blonde and a Korean icebreaker maybe #japanesemaples
Great post men, I drill my pots to create better drainage, also stand them on feet for better drainage & air flow, drainage is king for Japanese Maples :-)
What about using those round rubber weed guards that are from 24 inch to 36 inches around the base of the tree when they are first planted to keep the weeds away.
What are those lovely pinkish maples Infront? I really want to find a solid pink maple. I would love some color videos like a video of pinks, a video of yellows, a video of variegated ect.
Mr Maple can you please do a video about spacing when planting Japanese Maples? also about what you can grow in and around underneath that won't damage or compete with the trees but will fill in the area nicely?
Love this when you guys get together talking about beautiful Japanese maples and all kinds of plants... Wish I could have been there!!!!!! God bless!!!!!! Have a great day!!!!!!! # Japanese maples!!!!!!!!
It maybe a more serious issue. Typically you wouldn’t see sap. Is it possible it has been opened up by an insect or taken some damages that the sap is coming from?
@@MrMapleShow rehearsed might be wrong.. just over formatted I guess. Seems like you guys talk about the same say 5 things/topics each time about each variety. Would be better to just have a conversation about them, like your talking to a friend not a customer
Thanks for the feedback. We definitely do have a format to our cultivar videos to make sure we cover the main points to each. We do mix it up in our information videos and we plan to be doing a lot more that style. Check out our Kiyohime video we did today also. We added a newer segment at the end in a conversation format. So I guess we agree too
Bought quite a few from u guys love all ur trees! I bonsai all of them ! My forest though 2 trees died but that can happen in a forest. So lets go! I need more ueno yamas! Haha. Love u guys great trees ! Customer for life.
Just ordered a jap maple, “skeeters broom”. I’m in zone 9A and I’m going with a container so I have more control over the light and heat it receives. I ordered a 2 gallon pot, it hasn’t arrived yet but I have already purchased a huge pot for it, lol! Now that I’m listening to what you all have to say, I’m starting to think I made a mistake by buying such a big pot/container. What size container would you suggest me starting out with? Like I said it’s a 2 gallon pot that I purchased. Also, you were mentioning something about the type of container, what it’s made of actually matters too. What type of container would you suggest me purchasing? The big container I purchased is wooden, but obviously I’m not going to use it now because you’re saying it’s too big. So what type of material container would you suggest? Thanks
