Tips For Growing Japanese Maples In High Heat Areas - JAPANESE MAPLE 

Live in zone 9 high heat area Auburn CA. Use patio umbrellas to shade maples from scorching sun. Remove them when not needed.

Oh man so much great info in this one definitely one I'm fully going to commit to memory!! Thanks so much guys for putting out these awesome videos they answer a ton of questions for me that I struggle with! Can't wait for the next one 👍

Zone 10a sw florida....full shade and 3x weekly watering in a terracotta pot seem to be working well. New growth and healthy foliage are all I can ask for in this experiment.

Another great video on Japanese Maples, thanks,Mr.Maple Podcast!

Thanks a ton of info since I’m in a hi heat location. I was going to asked about the rocks around the pots and now I know. Thanks

Good info Gents. Thank you. I’m in coastal So Cal, Zone 10B. The morning sun and shade in the late afternoon is key. The new leaves from a growth flush get toasted in the late afternoon sun. It’s going to be in the low 80’s today and tomorrow. From the mid 60’s last week.

Always good info. I dig mr maple!!!

Thank you so much guys. Excellent information. I Dig Mr maple 🍁

I’ve been growing maples for several years and still I learned some good stuff, thanks and keep up the good work

Very useful. Thank you

I try to watch everything in effort to learn something. Thanks, Fellas!!

Great info, thanks so much! I DIG MRMAPLE, MRMAPLE PODCAST.

Great tips! Thank you! (Memphis area)

Great video, but it is so hard to catch exactly which JM's you recommend as you both talk too quickly with names you are comfortable with but others may not yet be.... It would be so useful if you had either a caption on the screen as you mention each tree or else include a list under your "Show More" header underneath, just above the comments. Thanks.

Zone 10B California here. I can't grow some variety in open sun. I planted in locations that hide away from sun around 2:30 PM to sunset, and they are doing just fine at least up till now. During the summer some types of shading iterms/techniques are needed I guess.

Love you videos!

I live in a mountain area of SE Australia. Whilst the heat is not as high as other parts of Australia, the UV of extreme for most summers days combined with low humidity makes it difficult to keep maples even though my are is equivalent zone 8. Hit summer winds are the real threat and can easily burn the leaves of a maple in a few hours. Mine are in pots so I can move them around the garden to either get sun or shade depending on time of year.

Great info! Much needed iinfo for southwest TN zone 7b. #japanesemaples Heat indexes have hit 110 plus this summer so far 🔥🥵

I am about to purchase the orange flame and fire glow down here in Texas. Do you recommend any of these or others for Texas weather 90deg plus in summer ? Oh yea I bought one last spring and I over watered it and it died ,I though it was burnt by the Sun ☀️.

This video is very timely for me. I want to grow a Japanese maple in South Florida so I have a lot to consider. I'm such a nube with all the different varieties. I wish you would list the heat tolerant ones in the description or flash them up on the video because some I tried to spell based on what you were saying but am coming up with no results in the search. Some in the beginning you mentioned was sangu kaku, inaba shidare, and then something else I couldn't make out..saru?

Thank You! Gentleman... New subscriber for life here...

There’s some excellent advice to be had from this video. All of my Japanese Maples are in terracotta pots ranging from 10ltr to 450ltr volumes. Each pot has good drainage and decent compost blends to help the Acer settle-in and develop. I make sure that the compost feels damp and moist like a fruit cake. If the sunshine and heat is fierce. As it has been recently in the UK, I keep an eye on both how hot the clay pot feels and likewise how moist the compost feels to the touch. We have had two periods of extreme heat recently and it was a concern. Many have experienced leaf scotch but the Acers will get through this and hopefully next year the Summer period temperatures and heat will be “average “.

If I plant some creeping Jenny around my potted Japanese maple, is it the same concern as mulch where I need to make sure it doesn’t grow up against the base of the tree?

Love a good maple and do struggle with my hot climate!! The sun burns the leaves to crumbling messes.

Thank you

Thank you for your video. Do you recommend any maples in zone 10a in California north of Los Angeles?

Great video

What is the best maple to plant in 8b zone in south Alabama? It will get a good bit of sun and I want one that is going to be smaller. I want to plant it at the corner of a house next to a porch. I just purchased the baldsmith lace leaf, a kinshi golden thread and a jubilee. I was thinking the golden thread or the lace leaf but not sure. I have also purchased. 2 ginkgos but I would have to use the spring drove dwarf if that would be a better choice.

Hey guys just saw ur video on maples really enjoyed I have a question I purchased a bloodgood maple seeding about 30in tall,I plan to use it as a bonsai I do live in south Tex I would like to repot it do I let it grow and not cut it back now? Also it's mid July should I wait to repot? Enjoying it videos. Thanks for ur response, David.

Sarasota is zone 9, you said you recommend it be shaded? I wanted a glowing ember Japanese Maple but I have zero idea how to SHADE a tree and from which direction. Like if my backyard gets afternoon light (west) then don't plant it there?

Zone 8 in far west Texas, can we grow a coral bark maple tree here and use a greenshade to filter the sunlight a little ?

Just a dummy question .... I live in California near the desert. Can I plant my maple tree on the east side of my house (backyard) and plant it in the middle of my grass ? like is it gonna get root rotten ? Thank you so much, liked and subscribed!

Are UV indexes indicative of time of day where the heat may be too high? In my area of SoCal it can reach 10 by 1pm some parts of the year.

Just an fyi, I am in zone 10 in Southern California. They do very well here, but NEVER wet the leaves when watering. I’ve done six different varieties all did very well here.

I dig Mr. Maple!

God bless!!!!!!! Have a great day!!!!!!! # Japanese maples!!!!!!!!

Trying to grow a crimson queen mable tree in the Corpus Christi to area any advise

I DIG MR MAPLE!

Im in high heat area (45 celsius), i keep my maples behind tinted glass on a unheated deck but pay for it cause my trees dont give their wonderfull colors 😔, any advice

I’m in 8B. I put it mistakenly in Sun. I had to move it to morning sun and share afternoon. This will be my first year in shade. It was georgous red purple leaves. Its hot here. Its humid but cant take the sun.

Mr Maple Podcasts 😊

Was about to double pot tatoo into a larger container and top with time black stone, looks like much will be much safer.

What japanese maples can grow in south texas around the mcallen area?

I live in zone 9 rural Florida. So it gets a little colder than in urban areas. Summers extremely hot. I have florida red maples growing naturally. What kind of chill hours or cold do these trees need? It does get cold here on and off for short periods. Id like to grow some bonsai. Will putting in a refrigerator work to simulate winter dormancy?

Ive always wondered. If you plant a maple tree at a country that is at the center of the earth's equator. Will the tree drop leaf at some point

Can you guys add a filter to your website for high heat, full sun, etc,?

That was good news. (I live in California)

I DIG MRMAPLE PODCASTS

I live in Collin County, TX (Plano). Do you rate your Japanese maples with the AHS (American Horticulture Society) Plant Heat Zones? Mine would be Zone 8 or 9 depending on the year.

MR.MAPLE Podcast!

I think I've got 47 different varieties most from MrMaple on the eastside of Ok City. Get's pretty hot here. I guess will find out. lol Just enjoying the ride. Still diggen!!!!

A quick question Japanese maples do good in hot areas .I live in Las Vegas which one would be best for my area ??

I bought my first red maple Japanese bonsai, unfortunately it arrived wilting and over watered like crazy! I'm in Los Angeles area, I think that's zone 9 and 10? Not sure exactly. I was trying to recover the plant indoors until it got full of pests because it was already so weak upon arrival, I placed it outside hoping for better results and it got burned and now it's bald and leafless. Gardening is my hobby always had been, but with this specific plant I'm at a loss for what else to do. There is no shade in my patio. The only East facing sun is in the kitchen window. I don't know what to do, can any of you guys give me any advice?

I received some maple seeds as a gift of a friend of mine that lives in Colorado. I live in Brazil and according the description of USDA hardiness zones, my city is a zone 10 city. Can I plant here?

Hi Tim and Matt. I’ve got several japanese maples in Indonesia. They have been growing for a few years. I was wondering if there was a method to trick Japanese Maples to go dormant since indonesia doesnt have seasons.

I have 5 foot tall potted JM on a high balcony in Tokyo, Japan. My maple got too hot and lost all the leaves. I keep watering it but I’m not getting any green back. Is it time to toss it?

What is considered 'dry soil'? I let my maples dry out between watering. I dig down about 3 inches and clump a palm full of soil in my hand. If it clumps together, I don't water. If not I water, but the soil is still damp. Should it be more dry?

What do y’all recommend for DFW area 8a?

Ok, so I know it’s not particularly well suited to central Florida, but I just couldn’t resist the Acer Taylor…I plan to shade her with 55% shade cloth and keep her in a container so I can move her if she begins to suffer. Do you have any other tips to help this vulnerable young tree grow until it becomes established and a little more heat tolerant?

Which Japanese maple grows up to 10'-15' tall in Central Florida (zone 9b) area?

Does Aaron from California Make videos about maples?

Needing to know your ranking for the most RED of red Japanese maples…
