Thank you for inspiring a novice. I look forward to you advice as I try have some level of success.

@JonnyMaple Год назад

Awesome - I am glad these videos have inspired you!

@mattlohr3901 Год назад

Great video please keep them coming. Learning lots thank you !! 😊

@JonnyMaple Год назад

Thank you! Will do!

@mobilejohnm Год назад

congrats on your progress with these trees. I'm excited to see how the summer cuttings you took in June turnout. Thanks for sharing this content and all your experience on this topic. (John M. - Zone 7 Maryland)

@JonnyMaple Год назад

Thanks! I will have an update on that soon.

Funny thing is, is I've been having better luck with softwood cuttings vs hardwood cuttings taken in the winter. And I've had great success with winter hardwood cuttings on the past.

@JonnyMaple Год назад

Interesting. I plan to try some hardwood cutting this winter as a comparison.

@RCCRAYZ Год назад

@@JonnyMaple yah that’s how I started was hardwood cuttings in winter, 4 years ago with around a 85% success rate. I’ve been sticking stuff since July and with around 99% success rate so far. I keep everything in the shade, I haven’t set up my misting system yet either.

@@RCCRAYZ I've had great luck with "sticking stuff" all summer, strictly in terms of Perennials, haha. I have 2 rubbermaid plastic tubs in the shade (w lids and a few holes in the top), and I've been planting out pretty solid-rooted cuttings all summer with great success. Too bad I can't duplicate that success with my JM's!

@jockez3581 Год назад

Maple cuttings seem quite hard to root. Air layering seems like an easier way to go. But much of the fun is in experimenting!

Wow, Jonny, lots of ways of bringing new JM to life! Great Job! I never really saw JM as a good candidate for stem cutting propagation, but clearly it's worked well for you. To date, with your help, I've started some JM from seed, and from seedlings found under my mature Japanese Maples. Sadly, I lost all of them over this past winter, so I'm still desperate to find what care will allow them to over winter in my area (Zone 6). I wasn't able to plant any seeds this past spring as we were renovating our home all winter/spring, but I did find a couple of already formed seedlings and currently have 2 seedlings growing in small pots. Again, I'm desperate for finding care that will allow them to make it through winter. This October I'll collect seeds again, refrigerate them for several months (with a few drops of water in a baggie), and plant them up in trays once I see that they have germinated. That worked the best for me, and produced many many seedlings. (Essentially I'm back to square one, ready to start the process of collecting seeds.) If you're able to share ANY tips, tricks or advice about overwintering first year seedlings, I would be so grateful. Getting the seeds to germinate and begin growing is worthless if I don't have a plan for the winter. What medium to put them in, where to keep them over the winter, what protection they'll need, pot size, how often to water them... these are the areas I failed at last winter. Thanks for your updates, and for expanding on different types of propagation. I've propagated many perennials from stem cuttings, and the majority have successfully grown to viable plants that came up again this spring. They filled out my garden quite nicely, so there's that, haha. Thanks for any help! Sorry for such a long comment! Enjoy your gazillion Japanese Maples! I'm envious of your success, but happy to follow your progress!

Thanks for sharing your successes and failures and I am so glad that I have inspired you to try growing Japanese Maples! Stick with it, and build on your successes. I don't have specific experience caring for Maples in a zone 6 but here are a few suggestions to try: 1.Try keeping them elevated (not on the ground which can hold the cold in) on a bench that gets plenty of morning sun and not a ton of really cold wind, which can help warm them up in the colder parts of the year. 2. Watering: I pretty much stop watering my seedlings after they go dormant, and winter watering is not really necessary as long as they can get some natural moisture from rain, snow etc. You do not want a bunch of water freezing around the roots if you can help it. 3. Add leaves, straw etc. around the base of the pots to keep the roots insulated from the extreme cold. 4. Maybe the best solution: build a basic greenhouse of some kind. It doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. Happy growing!

I put all my jm seedlings in a hoop house through winter and make sure they don’t dry out. Don’t let any snow get on them and crush them. I’m in zone 6 b western NY

@jlnriddick Год назад

@@JonnyMaple Thanks for the tips! I basically followed what you've outlined here. The "trunks" themselves were approximately 6-8 inches tall (of course the leaves had fallen off) and the wood box I surrounded them with was open at the top and bottom for good air flow. The plants were supported 3 inches off the ground by hardware cloth. There were 17, well-rooted little trees by the time last winter began. I occasionally looked at them over the winter and spring, and I was basically looking at 17 pretty sturdy "sticks" at that point. They received water all winter via rain and snow, and I had expected a flush of new leaves in spring. but never saw as much as a bud on any of the 17 seedlings. By the time June arrived, with no sign of life, I carefully checked the roots in each 8 inch pot. The roots were black. Ouch! Trial and error, right?

@@RCCRAYZ I'm in Western New York, as well (Buffalo), and while I considered putting them in my hoop house, our landscaper advised against it, assuming they would freeze?? He suggested placing them under our existing Japanese Maple (25 feet tall), a few inches off the ground, and protected from the wind. They were exposed to the snow, but none of the little trunks bent or broke. They were all pretty sturdy going into winter. I only have 2 seedlings to work with this year, and they're not quite as s sturdy as last years little trees. I honestly haven't decided what to do with them just yet. I understand they need to be exposed to the cycle of "winter weather", but I'm honestly tempted to bring them inside. Thanks for chiming in and offering your experience! I really appreciate it!

@@jlnriddick I wouldn't listen to whoever told you that, Ive kept everything in my hoop house the past 3 years and no problems, I had problems when I left alot out in the snow last year and it had 2 feet of snow on top of everything. When it warmed the snow pile got soft, then it re froze which added weight and crushed alot of stuff, and then the taller stuff were the ice froze around it, freeze burned the plants in that spot and killed off the top growth. So leaving them out in the weath exposed was bad never had problems in the hoop house tho. The only thing is, is you gotta keep them watered all winter. If not they die.

Hi Jonny, how do you overwinter these plants? Does it get below freezing where you live?

@danielwaldvogel579 Год назад

Very interesting. where do you live, what zone, how do you overwinter your maples?

@streetgainer Год назад

How is the air layering coming along?

@JonnyMaple Год назад

1 of 2 made it and is doing well! I recorded an update that I hope to get out soon.

@campbellrocksagain Год назад

Do you collect any sap in the spring time?

@JonnyMaple Год назад

No.
