The fact that our beloved #japanesemaples can be art and stay so little in such shallow containers for so many years is fascinating to me. Beautiful line up and info!
fantastic video! I’ve bought several trees from you guys for bonsai use. I got a nishiki gawa that i airlayered and has a perfect radial root spread that will eventually show the rough bark and i got an allens gold and deshojo that i have rooted cuttings from that will eventually be trained as bonsai
Awesome video thanks so much guys I would love to do a bonsai!!! But I think Oklahomas weather needs to get itself in check first lol 😆 thank y'all so much for sharing this killer video y'all are the best keep up the amazing work!! 👍👍🔥🔥🍁🍁
I also wonder this but it's probably because the leaves are so big. I think it's emerald lace that has a smaller leaf.. would love to see a bonsai of that. Check out Herons Bonsai in the UK. Peter, who runs the channel and I think is the owner, is known for doing 'large' non traditional bonsai and has some gorgeous red weeping lace leafs that he has shaped beautifully
@@graysonschissler6215 Yes I have seen Peter's videos before, his laceleafs are quite good although I don't recall him mentioning what cultivar they are.
#japanesemaples Mikawa Yatsubusa is a living bonsai on its own most definitely. I love the shape and architecture of it. Definitely in my top 5. Great video as always!!!!
Patiently waiting to purchase both a Shishigashira and a Shin Deshojo. ;) Love your video's! I very luckily recently adopted several trees from Davidson's Maples closing and have become addicted!
I've got a mikawa y, a summer gold and a deshojo from you guys over the past 3 years. They all are doing well in bonsai mix. summer gold's graft mark has unbelievably blended very well, I don't think I ever need to air layer that one. Cheers!
We are doing some easier bonsai first, but I have oto hime and saiho that I'm going to bonsai eventually. I'd like to air layer them, been gathering info on the subject, but I have a few questions for Tim and Matt. I've heard some cultivars take well to air layering and some don't. I've heard shishigashira is great for it.. Any you guys know of that are less successful and the roots are prone to weakness? Also I usually see people air layering bigger branches. How small (thin) of a branch can I attempt to air layer? I want to air layer my Mikawa types to trim up some branches while not wasting anything. Also I have tons of small excess branches on oto hime and saiho and I want to start getting as many graftless trees as I can for bonsai. However if they don't root well, I'd rather know and just graft some more.. Any help you guys can give me is appreciated.
got all the greatest hits... now you fellas need to start propagating some specifically for Bonsai ... each one you at least start you can charge 2-3x usual going rate, just make sure those branches start low low low on the trunk and you got it
I live in south east asia. An i loved maple. But its hot out here, really hot. Is it good or bad for maple? Which temperature is recomended for taking care of japanese maple? Should i place it full sun or should i place it shady? Thanks before
I still can not get on your site. My computer says its noy secure. I get some weird defusion of your info. I dont know what to do. can't sudscribe because of it. sorry .
#japanesemaples another great episode 👍 only 2 I can think of that weren't mentioned were Katsura and Beni Chidori. I have a chishio that is giving me my deshojo fix for the moment 😆 and regular green leaf mountain maples are some of my favorites for fall colors.
Saiho is another I'm surprised they didn't bring up. If it's not on your radar, it has one of the tiniest leaves you can get on a maple. It's gorgeous and the leaves fit the bonsai proportions perfectly.
@@MrMapleShow I know if y'all ever get some Beni Chidori they'd be highly sought after, there have been a lot of Reddit post the past few years of people looking all across the US for them. Most everything I'd use as bonsai starts as a feature tree in the landscape. Also if I wanted to practice grafting could I graft straight to the limb of a regular green leaf then layer it? I've been layering most of the runners and they root extremely well? I also have plenty of separated layers with good root systems are they as good as seedlings grown for root stock?
