What To Do About Your Japanese Maples Drying Out Too Quickly? 

Can you guys do a beginner series showing example of everything. Like how to pot up a Japanese maple and show how you do it. I’m a beginner and sometimes you guys talk about stuff, but I don’t know how to go about doing it myself

This was very helpful. Keep up the great work guys!

Just had this happen to a large laceleaf I had in a pot. The wind blew the pot over and I was out of town. Plant defoliated but is now on its way to recovering. Very good information to help a plant recover.

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge🍁🍂🪴That’s a recipe for success 👩🏻‍🌾

Thanks, Tim. Very informative video.

I should have listened to this BEFORE I started taking off the dead leaves... figures I would not do it correctly...You live and learn. Thanks for the info!

Good to know. Just bareroot transplanted an almost 14ft tall japanese maple a neighbor was gonna cut down.

Thanks, I posted about this issue on UBC Maple forum. I feel better now!

I was sure my leaves were dropping because of pests. The tree does have tiny pests under the leaves but not as bad as you might expect for leaves to drop so now I’m sure I haven’t been watering it properly. Thank you. And I’m glad I didn’t pull the leaves. I watered it good the other day and haven’t over watered so I’m hoping I’ll get new growth this year. Thank you

Thank you this is so helpful ,for all my new weeping type leaves totally dry out in late July

I'm in a zone 9 oven here in Cali with triple digits being the norm in the Summer, I currently have umbrellas setup above my maples, but I still notice leave burn and drying, I was getting worried until In saw this video thanks guys for the tip! :)

Good information! Thank you!

Great video, thank you! Will try liquid fertilize on my acer.

Thanks Tim!

Great information! Thank you! #Japanesemaples! 🍁

Just had someone ask me if she should take off those leaves. I said I don’t know but I leave them. Phew! Plus I was afraid to give a little liquid fertilizer this time of year. Love how you think of all this good information to educate us with. Thank you Tim and crew!

Awesome video Tim

THANK U TIM 4 A MOST EXCELLENT VIDEO THAT WAS SOOOO EXTREMELY HELPFUL😊 WE LOVE MR. MAPLE ❤

Just the topic I needed. Have a couple of trees that are not loving the hot and dry weather. So I am all set to go,out and up pot two of them and liquid fertilizer is on the menu. Just a follow up: when should fertilization cease? How many weeks before first frost? 7B here.

Great info Tim. Thanks for the wealth of info to help us achieve success! #japanesemaples

Great video really helpfull stuff . Thanks #japanesemaples

Just the content I was looking for. I bought some Japanese maples last year and left them in burlap over the winter. They struggled a bit as they were in burlap and dried out pretty bad when we were on vacation. I planted them in the late spring this year and saw some good growth. But as summer went on the heat stressed them a bit. They are over 200 feet from my water supply at the top of my driveway….. a lot of hose dragging…. Some of the tips of branches have dried and receded in places. Not everywhere but some. I planted five trees. :-) I’m in southwest Pennsylvania and it’s currently September 6th, 2022. Is it too late to liquid fertilize? We often see our first snow by Halloween and frosts sooner. Also specifically what liquid fertilizer do you suggest? Just miracle grow for tomatoes and garden plants?

Great info Tim! #japanesemaples

This is happening to mine. I bought it yesterday, and watered it. The leaves started to dry out. I think it is rootbound because I bought it at the tail end of the season (nearly September). I am going to re-pot it and water it with a little liquid fertilzer.

Great video and info. I employ liquid fertilizer when appropriate, but I also use granular, and I simply put it in empty tea bags. That way, I can remove that fertilizer when I want without leaving residual fertilizer in the pots. This is done routinely by Bonsai artists.

Great advice there Tim! Here in the UK we had two bouts of fierce heat weather fronts which lasted several weeks with very warm winds. Despite daily watering my JMs, which are all in large pots btw, some of my JMs did suffer and result in crispy leaves. Particularly my large Osakazuki and a fairly young Atropurpureum Acer. The latter dropped off all of its leaves by mid July and I had just left it be but continued watering as normal. By mid August the same plant burst into life showing intense red leaves which stood out - far better than that when I had first bought the Acer a year prior. My suffering Osakazuki on the other hand has a leaf canopy that looks like frazzled bacon and all I can do is hope that future Summer Seasons are more stable in temperatures and warm winds. Fascinating to hear that you use Miracle Grow liquid feed on your JMs. I’ve just been using 1/2 strength (20ml/9ltr watering can) of Tomorite, which is a Tomato based liquid feed and I cease using this by the end of July. Hard to tell if Tomorite makes much of a noticeable difference but as I feed a 30 year old Pyracantha Shrub the same feed - that I do know makes a difference! Always looking forward to the videos!

So glad I found this video, just had an out of seasonally hot week and my peaches n cream that is currently containered but due to be planted this week got hit hard. Was wondering after I get it planted I was gonna try the liquid ferts like suggested but is there a specific one you would recommend?

I watched another channel that said pull off those leaves then I had to go back here and understand what is the correct thing to do 😅

Awesome video, thanks! I've also had luck with full and partial defoliation as well after watching a few bonsai experts. I thought leaving burnt leaves on would be wasting energy for the rest of the tree, but I'm happy to try your way! Do you guys have any opinions on using kelp solutions when planting or transplanting? Hope day 2 of open house was a good one for you guys!

Thanks

Hi Tim , i have 2 beni komachi , the one is ok but the other start to loose colour of the leaves they become crispy , please help

I wish I would have seen this video 6 months ago. I have done both removed the dying leaves and overwatered. Now I know.

#japanesemaples Good and very helpful information that we can all use especially right now. 🍁🔥💯 #bestinthebusiness

Thanks …. The heat wave in Maryland has been brutal

Hey guys I’m in the same zone as you all being in Black Mountain. There’s some high 30’s in mid October. I had this happen to my Katsura Hime with all the others around it doing well, but it’s on a sloped hill. So it seems to have not gotten enough water and too much sun for it’s first year (larger 2 gallon) planted in the ground. Should I hit it with liquid fertilizer (going to soak happy frog for a day)? Or is it getting too late in the year and will I get lucky if I have it potentially go dormant (probably way too early for that)? Thanks! #japanesemaples

Hi! I have a maple seedling in a pot right now (I'd have to guess the age; maybe 2 yrs?). Can it stay outside this coming winter or should I bring it indoors?

I received 2 maples a week ago. One seems to dry out faster than the other. I water accordingly. Both trees, the leaves look dry and shriveled and not really changing to fall colors. If the leaves fall off without changing color is this normal? Just don't want them to die.

I saw in some video about bonsai they remove the leaves but keep the stems. I did that and new growth came adter 2-3 weeks. Did I do good or not?

what npk level you use for liquid fertilizer?

What variety are you holding on 2:27?

Damm I was removing the leafs 😢

A ver yo soy aficionado al bonsai y lo primero que la gente debe aprender es a cultivar, yo tengo arces en macetas que tienen 4 u 5 cm de altura y no siempre tengo problemas con las quemaduras de las hojas, mi clima es supercaluroso, lo que pasa esque la gente lo ponen en tierra negra y amigo,aprender a regar en tierra negra es muy difícil, hay que cojerle el punto, si no llegas se seca, si te pasas ahoga las raíces y se pudren, solución o usar tierra japonesa llamada akadama o usar tierra negra rebujada con cualquier producto que la haga Aires te por ejemplo pomice o grava volcánica etc etc cualquier tierra que veas que al regar el agua empapa y sale por los orificios de la maceta ( aparte de ponerle un buen drenaje a la maceta claro está) y siempre a la sombra, ojo digo todo esto para arces en macetas o cualquier contenedor, por cierto me e enrollado demasiado y a ver cuándo mandáis arces a Europa,concretamente a España chicos Por cierto el agua también es muy importante ,aquí en España el agua trae mucha cal ( muy malo para las raíces de los arces) Necesitan agua contra más pura mejor, de echo aquí ponemos aparatos de osmosis inversa para los arces Saludos

Wow liquid fertilizer really? Never would have thought of that. I maybe use a organic fish or seaweed fertilizer but try not to use miracle grow. #japanesemaples
