Why no link to your website in the headers to this video? Feels like a missed opportunity if someone happens on this video and wants to know more. I dig Mr Maple!
Like these style of videos. Purple curl is definitely different. Never knew Okushimo did curl up as much as you showed on the video. Will be getting Okushimo this Australian winter so very happy to see it on the video.
Another great one guys thanks!! Keep it up 👍 the thing I like most about these videos is the highlighting of the individual plant characteristics that one might miss just scrolling through a list of pictures of available plants. Can't wait for the next one!
I love this video so much! I am 54 years old and have short blue and purple hair and love unusual plants. I will put my name in the pot for purple curl for sure and Pave Starfish. I like the purple curl because the leaves remind me of hands and the Peve Starfish is just so cute!
I got a Peve Starfish from you at a gardening festival in Augusta, GA many years ago. I’ve had it in a container ever since. I did see one at a local nursery last Fall. It was much bigger than mine. Was nice to see it for sale. Really like it! Was very pretty last Fall.
#japanesemaples love this series of “weirdo” maples, I am very drawn to the unique ones and would love love some like these if not all of them if space allowed. Awesome video!!! 🍁🔥💯🍁🔥💯 #mrmaplebringstheheat #bestinthebusiness
Maybe not a weirdo but one of the most unique in terms of rarity is Acer pentaphyllum(five leaf divisions)from China. Some estimates give only 200 or less in the wild. The lowest estimate that I have read about is only around 30! The lack of knowledge has to do with the remoteness of the area from which it is found. The number is constantly decreasing from Tibetan farmers cutting it for firewood and goats eating away at it. It was discovered by the famous plant explorer, Joseph Rock, in 1929 in the ancient Tibetan kingdom of Muli. My specimen has been growing for about seven years. I live on the Olympic peninsula at about 200 feet in elevation near Discovery Bay. After every winter I wonder if it has made it because it is the last deciduous plant to leaf out. This December it got to 13 degrees Fahrenheit which caused widespread damage to my hebes especially those from the North Island of NZ. I planted it near Acer Okushimo. So two weirdos together amongst hardy fuchsia. Definitely my garden is not like any that you would find derived from a big lot store. But weird is better and wonderful. Unique is better than commonplace. Love the video.
Love the videos, but can you do me a favor after you introduce the tree and show it and pictures, as you continue to discuss it please leave the name of the tree up on the screen so that I can tell what particular Maple you are talkin about.
We are trying it now. Should be in the next 10@10 video as it’s the next one we shoot. It will air Tuesday. I’m going to see how we like it in that one and how it looks. Thanks for the suggestion
I was kicking myself for months for not grabbing 'Purple Curl' when it was originally offered last year. How could I let that slip by. Thank God for Tuesday 10 @10. Got a second chance. Whew. It arrived today. WooHoo
Do you dig JP weirdo's? I do but the three host are the most weirdo!!!! lol I can imagine driving up to your nursery and Bryan in a rastafarian getup sitting by Purple Curl playing that strange instrument of his while customers are are walking around buying plants! lolol
A broom is a mutation on a Japanese maples (or other plant) that altered the genetics of the tree and typically create a smaller dwarf version when it is grafted.
