19 Myths Busted: A guide to growing Japanese Maple trees

19 Myths Busted: A guide to growing Japanese Maple trees
Excellent video for beginners or the more experienced as Japanese maples have many myths connected with them. Watering, repotting, cuttings or grafted trees, pot type, soil type are only some. In this video I help to understand the facts from fiction and give clear guidance on how to grow Japanese maples.
Ideal for beginners or more experienced Japanese Maple growers, in these videos I will show what practical steps I take to keep my Acer trees healthy during a year of gardening!
I hope you will follow me in my adventures with these wonderful trees
This video will help you grow better trees and for those with more experience, who want to improve the autumn colour, health and general quality of their Maples. Colour can also be improved all year by giving trees the right amount of sun.

I bought an autumn moon sapling. It came in quite a big 3 gallon pot. Should I reported into a smaller pot?

[@Japanesemaples]

Assuming you live in a part of the world that is early summer, I would leave it for this season. Check hydration with a water mater but is should be dry enough and hopefully the roots will grow into to fill the pot 👍

It is really rare to find those in Brazil. Yet, I’m very enthusiastic over the possibility of having at least one in my garden. I saw a very expensive red Japanese maple in the garden center and I thought about taking the risk. Now that I found your channel, I have a more realistic approach. Thank you!

[@Japanesemaples]

No worries I’m glad that it helped!

Regarding the red or green myths, what varieties would stay in bright red/purple/pink during summer under sun or shade other than: Beni-maiko, Extravaganza, Ijoshi, AmagiShigure, Shaina ? My collections looks a bit too green/ dark-red/yellow-ish in the summer. 😆

So I don't have one but Fireglow stays red, my Jerre Schwartz with plenty of sun is bright pink. Purple Mano no sato is pretty good! Thanks for posting, Carl

I lived in Northern Ontario Canada were the winters can be too cold for these maples can you bring them indoors for the winter .

[@Japanesemaples]

You could do yes, however they need to have cold during winter to complete their life cycle. A location with heating to stop sun zero temperatures could work. 🤔

@Japanesemaples thank you ..I have a room upstairs that gets no heat in it ..

What is the name of the beautiful hosta that shows up on 6:50?

[@Japanesemaples]

I’m sorry I don’t know it’s name 😢

I find that keeping them out of the wind is crucial.

[@Japanesemaples]

Absolutely, heat is not the real problem it's wind! Thanks for posting, Carl

Thanks again Carl , Very useful information . I did pot back downsize my Hime Shojo after re potting too large. in 2 weeks it has improved a lot. It could be warmer weather but it did look sick and sad before. So its a great improvement.
