I love people from the south, so mannered and kind. Thanks Jim, the gardening is a plus!
you obviously never sat down for a night of texas hold 'em with a group from the south! lol
Well done once again. I was once as passionate as you regarding plants. I got lost a bit but trying to locate that passion again. You are helping me.
I just purchased an Acer Orangeola and found this video to be quite helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for this! I bought a maple last year and planted in the fall. It was simpled labeled 'Acer Palmatum' and I've been trying to figure out which cultivar. By watching this video I am fairly certain now that it is some variety of Coral Bark, which I am thrilled about! I can't wait for it to wake up this spring and mature!
Helpful. Thank you.
Excellent information, as always. Thank you.
Great information; love my Japanese Maples and didn't know about not mulching close to the trunk. Glad I watched your video...
Great Jim. Thank you.
Absolutely love your videos, Jim! Very informative and have learned so many new plants! I do have a few points in your video. I live in Central Indiana (border on zone 5b and 6a) Japanese Maples do not tolerate full sun well here. In fact the thrive in near full shade or morning sun and afternoon shade. The leaves scorch in afternoon sun, and the color can completely bleach from the leaves by the end of Summer. While I do totally agree with you they do best with some direct sun, I always avoid full sun even in zone 5. Zone 5 summers are just as hot and humid as the Deep South.
Jim, appreciate information as I'm looking at learning the about the different types of Japanese maples and perhaps even growing them for others. Great video and what sources would you recommend for additional info and learning?
You are literally God sent.!
I love these little trees I have a few of them and they’re delightful
🪴🌺🪴
Very Nice. Thank You.
thank you so much for your knowledge, you keep it interesting and it all inspires me. I live in zone 8a . I just planted a coral bark maple and I used your advice from another video to plant my maple tree. I really hope it survives. thank you once again.
Very informative, thank you!
Glad to have more info about planting Japanese maples here in the south!!
you are just wonderfull
thanks so much for your information
Living Los Angeles we have clay soil. I’ve had to plant all my Japanese Maples in compost. I basically created a cement large rectangular planter that I had to fill w lots of compost for my Sango kakus which seem to be the best for my small garden.
My niece sent me a baby Japanese Maple from Oregon to Tampa fl. I just transferred it to better pot with the best soil available. I hope to see it grow to a big tree in 15 years.
Very useful. Thanks 🙏
Love the Crimson King Maple.
You are the absolute best information Utube channel. I get soooo excited when I watch your videos, then..... deer like them.... I have a huge deer problem. If I was a hunter I would be in heaven. So I just go onto another of your videos. Thanks Jim. P. S. sometimes I see a little dog in the background looks so sweet.
+Cathy Brown That's Holly. Thanks for watching
HortTube with Jim Putnam people love dogs. Introduce Holly.
Very nice.
Thank you for the information. I have a lacy red type and a light green. Pretty much getting everything you suggested.
The Japanese beetles love my Japanese maple
Tyvm!
So beautiful trees
I am new to your Chanel and can’t get enough of your videos!! I live in a zone 5b can you please make a video of flowering shrubs I can plant in my garden. Thank you
Thank you!
Thumbs up: I think my graft got quirky and produced 2 'different' branches from its graft ... but it became tall (8') and beautiful in partial shade by 3 yrs.; utmost blessings!. :)
Hi Jim, I LOVE MAPLES! ……… just subscribed and I’m hooked….great educational video, loved it … All the best from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Such a good video
i planted one like 7 years ago and just watered it once in awhile. after the first couple years it just did it’s own thing
Jim Enjoyed your video. Did you grow the trees your showing from seed?
Jim, Can you take cutting from a burning bush this time of the year in November to propagate them or would it be best to wait until spring. I was going to set them indoors by my woodstove and keep them moist until they root out.
Thanks!
Hi. Loved your video. I live in zone 7a and Purchased a Japanese maple 2 yrs ago. I noticed that it's not really growing and leaves are limp and dry. It is in an area where it gets direct sunlight all day. Should I move it to a shaded area? If so when would be the best time?
I took some JM cuttings on 30th March and got some lovely little plants now. I've even made a new video on their progress so far. I am now thinking about the coming winter and surviving the cold to then wake up in bud the following spring. I plan to keep them in my mini greenhouse which is in my old aviary with a vine plant growing over it. If it gets very cold, I'll cover them a little further within the greenhouse to be safe.
Can you tell us about maple allopathy? I know it's not as serious as black walnut allopathy, but knowing which perennials, annuals, & grasses are affected by maples would be helpful. In Minnesota, we have a lot of maples and it would be helpful to know.
I live in zone 9, but would love to have a Japanese maple. I'll take some of your tips and give it a try. Thanks.
I live in zone 9 and have a huge Japanese maple in front of our house in the Fresno, CA area.
I appreciate your videos. Do you have any advice for the 9b zone. Which Japanese maples do well in 9b. Thank you.
I’m in zone 9 and just bought a bloodgood at my local Lowe’s . It also be getting full sun at around 10:30 am. I hope it adjust. If not I will be hanging on to my receipt.
I doubt very seriously that it will perform well.
Hey Jim, glad I found your channel. We live between Garner and Fuquay - is there a particular breed of Japanese maple that is better suited for our clay soil?
On our property in Beaverton OR maples are planted all over our clay soil. Some of the large ones are experiencing bark rot and slow decline towards death. The smaller weeping maples are I assume similar aged with no health issues. So go with smaller, slow growing varieties! They won’t be as hampered by dense soil.
Thank u I hv a few maples just want to know how to plant them I'm in the uk I find they dont like a lot of light or sun thank u forr yr vida eileen
I have 15 of them in 13 different varieties. I love them all. Japanese maples are the Jennifer Aniston of the tree world.
That made me laugh. Thanks for watching.
Boring, plain, regular and popular for some very strange reason?
@@planexshifter Dude, she's the Bomb. But, ok, let's try this:
I love Japanese Maples. They are the Lauren Bacall of the tree world.
Japanese maples aren’t overrated like Jennifer Aniston.
I'm with you on this one Dan, I Love Jap Maples too, I have around 15 and wont be stopping at that either. I'm constantly on the lookout for rare and unusual varieties.
I would compare them to the Famouse Jap Actress in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Like her they get better with Age and Maturity..
Nice to know
Thanks for sharing your video with us. I purchased few maple tree online from Holland, I reported in bigger pot after some time I noticed that 3 of 4 plants leafs are drying. I am really worry about my plants, can you help with your advise please
My husband bought me the Bloodgood Japanese Maple for my birthday. I loved it but it didn't leaf out the next year. I did the "scratch test" and there was no green until a few inches above the ground. I took it back to where he bought it. How I wish it did well in my yard...love the color and the ornamental leaves.
Please don't bring plants that you've killed back to the nursery.
I have a upright one that I planted in the ground a year and a half ago. Seems to be doing fine and gets about 6 hours of morning sun and is in the shade for the afternoon. It got quite a bit of foliage this spring...however, It really hasn't grown at all. It has stayed relatively at the same height as when I got it. Not entirely sure what I did wrong. maybe it needs better dirt and mulch around it?
Didn't discuss was soil type to plant in pots or in the ground. took me a while to find out the best mixes but from what I remember potting soil and pine bark or potting soil and horticulture pumice 5050 mixes. But maybe you can discuss that further
Pine park sand perilite.
What about growing them in Minnesota?? I’m getting seeds soon and you know a lot
Hi Jim - what kind of maple do you recommend planting in an urn? I live in NY and my small garden already very crowded so just trying to utilize an urn instead and still add some color to my backyard. Of course I I am not looking for anything that will get too tall.
Hi Jim, I live in North Texas and just bought a Japanese maple “Acer Palmatum var. Bloodgood” in a pot. I watched your video and I’m wondering if I should put it in a big planter… Did you say that you can plant them in a pot? I would like to have it be mobile in case it doesn’t tend to do well in our yard so I can move it around if it needs different lighting… Your thoughts?
Dear Jim, I just purchased one red and one yellow/greenish maple they're both about 4 feets long. The question is how far they should be away from the fence and from each other? As I love to plant them very close to each others to have a good mix of colors. Thanks
Are you familiar with the golden bark Japanese maple? I'm in zone 8, the tree is zone 4-9
Hello Jim! I was almost ready to put this weeping Japanese maple to the curb. Three years ago we had a bad snow storm here on East Coast of Long Island. A chunk of the maple broke off. My husband tried grafting it back together with pantyhose. It worked! My maple was a gorgeous purple color now the majority of the plant is green. Almost similar to the one you showed green with reddish/purple edges. I’ve had the tree for almost 10 years. If I could figure out how to forward a photo I would. Is there anyway to get it back to the reddish color?
It really sounds like the tree is not the named variety you purchased, it is the root stock variety. Meaning when it broke, it grew vack from below the graft.
I messed up today and used Miracle Gro GARDEN soil when I planted my Japanese maple. Should I dig it up tomorrow and change it?
For my 2¢, if anyone is more interested in getting a larger tree fast as opposed to what exactly that JM looks like, then honestly I'd recommend going with a base Acer palmatum and not one of the varietals (i.e. the JM your varietal is grafted onto). As many have learned from seeing below-the-graft shoots taking off, your basic palmatum is usually much more vigorous than any of its varietals, and once well established can add on 2-3 feet of growth per year easily. A good option if you're wanting to build up and develop your landscape in the shortest time possible.
Hi great video . ? Is it safe ones I plant my red bloodgood maple on front of my house to set small Grable on top of soil
What tree did you graft the Japanese Maple to? If you graft it to a quicker growing maple will that speed up the growth rate of the Japanese Maple, especially on some of the dwarf weeping like a Crimson Queen?
Hi Jim. Thanks for your video. What's the correct spelling of the green upright you mentioned that sounds like: "Serry You"?
Seiryu Japanese maple
How often do you need to put water? I have one in a pot. Lets say temp is aboit 20 celsius. Thanksss!
Evening Jim. Spot on video thank you. Will the Hapanese Maples tolerate clay soil if situated next other shrubs. Any thoughts greatly appreciated here in the UK. 👍🏻
No Steve, they do not like clay and they actually don't like to be crowded so...dig a huge hole and fill it with ericaceous compost and tell all the other shrubs to move on over! Clay soil is too claggy for them. They only have fine roots and they do not like soggy bottoms!
@@acechadwick well all we have here in my area of Toronto, Ontario is heavy clay soil but my 5 Japanese maples aren’t complaining.
@@debbielebovic6573 Glad to hear it Debs 😊
This is a Great Video !
Color . Variety . Care .
Various types types .
Your technicolor was true .
Audio was excellent
One question. What price ranges for these should we expect ?
I live in zone 8a. Can I transplant them now in a larger container? It’s about 2-3 ft now. Or is too much of a shock in this weather? 50’s most nights.
Hello, thank for the video.
Are upright Japanese Maples great foundation trees?
Hana matoi has stunning color all season.
How close to to the house can you be; will the roots of a Japanese maple plant affect the foundation of a house?
This spring, after the cold winter in Canada, I just realized that two of my 4 backyard Japanese maple died. A dragon red Japanese maple and a shrimp Japanese maple. Now I’m concerned about the other two. I’ve been watching some videos I some address that the damage can be caused by fungus. How can I know what killed them? In case it is fungus, how can I get rid of it?
Hello! The reddish-purple weeping looking kind in our front yard has sprouted very green non-weeping limbs straight up. It looks possessed…. Can I cut the straight up branches, or will it damage the tree? Is there anything I can do to become cohesive again?
I am in the landscape business, and everyone goes for the weeping laceleaf varieties but I prefer the uprights myself
Hi, could you comment about shishigashira variety, please?
I recently bought a blood good but I just found that it’s main stem is going bended and the store got a stick to make it straight. Do you know what I should do to get it full straight???
Hi jim i was wondering how often should i water them. Would apprecciate your answer.
It is going to be different for everyone,because of soil types, wind, temp, and more. I use a technique where I saturate the area very well and then I let it dry out. Just check it with a finger everyday. That should give an idea of how long it takes to dry in your space.
I have the weeping kind of Japanese Maple tree, two plum and one green. I noticed on one of the plums that on some of the leaves, on the tips, they are drying out and turning brown. I do water them, maybe too much after watching your video, bit I don't think that is the problem. Any ideas.
I have a big one - 15’ spread and 12’ high. It gets sunburned because I lost a big limb on an old dogwood that was shielding part of it in the highest sun part of the dat from 12-2
We get -30 degrees in winter. Would Japanese maple do ok? Also, do bunnies eat the bark? We have a problem with bunnies eating scrubs in winter, only my black current they don't touch for some reason.
I recently purchased a crimson Queen maple and I potted in a container. I have new leaves coming up at the bottom of the tree but they are completely different looking leaves not even red. What should I do?
how zones works?I am in love with this tree,can not explain it
Thanks Jim...very informative...but you lost us at "Deer Love Maple Trees". We are moving to the national forest in Zone 8, and deer are everywhere.
Everyone label I've read from growers of Japanese Maples say they are deer resistant (not deer proof but deer tend to avoid). These can be very very expensive for a larger specimen and would hate to risk deer browse or a rub.
@@jetsamperes5762 incorrect, sprays are needed. It is a constant battle but worth it.
A fence will protect it.
Are there a couple of varieties that could grow in a container in a partial shade in zone 10?
Hi, I planted my japanese maple atropurpureum on the bank of a small river in the shade, will it have too much water?
Hello, I would really like to plant an upright japanese maple in in the corner of my house, close to the foundation for some height. Is that safe to do?
Jim..
We bought a Japanese Maple tree and we're in zone 7 but where we wanted to plant it will be in direct sunlight and it gets hot during the summer Season in Idaho. I was told it will fry like bacon. We want to try and keep it in the container and place it on our back patio where it'll get morning shade and afternoon sun. We will put it on wheels to move it around but I want to make sure it'll be okay in the container?!
Kimberly,
I have a similar concern about the direct sun & hear as I love in zone 8. I noticed Jim did not answer you & you posted this question a while ago. Curious...what have you discovered? Did your tree survive?
This is a late reply, but I have an emperor 1 in Austin, TX (8b). It's slightly on the struggle bus, but it randomly grew a foot at the top. Full sun probably 10 hours a day. Some leaves are a bit crispy, but it seems to be doing OK. I irrigate with sprinkler heads (MP Rotator) for about 1.5 hours/week, and will occasionally give them more water when I'm bored.
Planted last November Ish (it's now late August).
Hi Jim, I have a question. We're planting some Sunshine Ligustrum, Ever Red, and a Catawba Crape Myrtle in a small area of our yard. I have a Shaina Japanese Maple that's currently in a container on our patio. I'm wanting to plant it eventually in the same area as these plants. But I was going to wait 2 or 3 years to do it. My question is, should I plant now or wait? I remember you saying in one of your videos that established trees and shrubs don't play well with newbies. Thanks!
Two or three years wouldn't be a big issue. Shade trees and large growing shrubs might be an issue, but not small ornamental plants. Good luck with your projects
Thank You!
I have 5 Japanese Maples that I started from seed. The tops always dies in the winter. They grow nicely in spring and summer and then winter hits and I lose half the growth because it freezes. Any suggestions ? I’m in zone 6b, Northern California.
Can you prune an upright Japanese Maple so that it spills over and has a weeping look?
wow nice color i have mapple tree the emperor variety red color
Hi. I have 2 Japanese jewels I live in Ireland. Can you tell me a good Video to watch ? Windy island I live on. Have a spot that is somewhat protected w morning sun ☀️. Soil is lime from many rocks I island. Thanks michele
jim i have a mature japanese maple which i would like to repeat can i grow from cuttings thank you
Enjoyed.....Thanks...
What about the Butterfly Japanese Maples ?
I have one I just planted.
Hope I did good ?
I planted mine in almost full sun. It’s a blood good.
Should I use an umbrella to shade it during the hot summer months.

We live in waxhaw NC.
I know it’s a maple. It’s still very small. It’s only about 3 inches high. I found it in the cracks of my pavers. I generally brought it out and put it into a small container. I named it Maple, but I’m trying to find out what kind it is thank you for your explanations. Mine has red edges.
Need a suggestion, I have a Japanese Maple Bloodgood that the top portion died but the main stock kept growing even though I was pruning these off. Now I am having to deal with the bottom portion healthy and growing but a bare trunk at the top sticking up in view from the bottom growth. Hate to discard this tree. Variety of grafted bottom I do not know.
Just prune the top and it should grow back healthy over a few months.
Is it essential for them to be in shaded areas? I live in Australia and we can get stretches of 30-40 degree celsius days during summer.
Shield from middle of the day direct sun - mine needs that.
Can this be grown in a hydroponic way ? I’ve been messing with aquariums and planting in the filters
What is a zone? I just bought one of these and have no idea what zone I'm in. Do you mean how close you are to the equator?
So how do you harvest them before they're ready to smoke?
Hi, have you ever keep a Japanese maple called Taylor? I know it’s pink in spring but does it turn red in Autumn?
No, Taylor is pink.
I live in an area with high wind, wet winters & 30 degrees summers. All maples keep dying. Branches gradually die even with the ones in protected spots. Any suggestions?
