Ja Moin! Also unser Jordan ist noch empfindlicher als der Orange Dream was Sonne betrifft. Wenn möglich würd ich Jordan eher nur nen Platz mit Sonne bis mittags geben. Wobei, unser verbrennt zwar immer stark im Sommer aber treibt auch jedes Jahr wieder schön gelb aus. Besten Gruß nach Kiel ☺️

Hi and thanks again! Some changes every year make it more interesting I think but it becomes more challenging to find the right new spot for a maple now as my parents' garden is too sunny for a lot of cultivars. Jordan always stays strong every year but Ukigumo for example does not really grow for the last 2 years. And the garden is also very packed so small trees are hardly visible now like my Red nails or Shishigashira. So, rearrangement will go on. I am also trying to convince my parents to create some new potential locations and make the lawn area a bit smaller but still I have no success here. The trees on my balcony could do better this year. The new soil that I chose for repotting was not worth it. The trees did not thrive well in it. Hopefully they will at least survive. In fall I will check the roots and maybe repot again. We will see.

@@Acerdorer Hello, thank you for detailing the development of all the maples and the problems you have encountered. About the problem with the substrate that you have used and you say that it has not worked, I use a German brand compost mix. In a proportion of 3:3 I mix acid and normal "Composana" and add 1:1 of blonde peat and humus, I repeat this formula until the corresponding pot is filled. It always gives me good results and above all there is no stress for the maple when I decide to reduce the root ball both to adjust and to renew the soil after 3-4 years. Apart from this, it is wonderful that your parents accept your proposals but they are setting limits so as not to invade them too much 😄. It would always be a great pleasure for me to hear about your progress in this exclusive gardening. Have you thought about uploading an updated video of your terrace? Thank you for your collaboration because it is always of great help.

Sorry to hear. I did not buy Shaina again. In the nursery they also told me that this cultivar is often difficult in a pot. Most important for every acer is to prevent root rot with good soil and drainage. I repotted a lot of my trees with a different soil this year and most of them did not grow much or even look bad. I am really afraid of losing any of them again.

@@Acerdorer Same, 5 maples are in a standard potting soil bought from a nursery and they are in a bad condition... The rest I have them in a mix of 75% bark chips, 20% peat and 5% perlite and they look amazing! (Watering 2-3 times per week now)... For my next mix I'll replace perlite with pumice because perlite breaks down quicklier. I'm sure if you try that your trees would appreciate it. But since you are in Germany, I would use less peat (85-10-5 ratio) because of the cooler/wetter climate. I'm in Greece and it rained only 2-3 times since May, with temperatures above 35°C! Take care, Kostas

Thanks for the info! Your potting mix seems to be very good then. My bad soil is peat free and I think this might be a reason why my trees don't like it at all. I never mixed soil myself yet but maybe I should consider this. I recently bought a bag of perlite for addding it in my next repotting session. I read that lava mulch should also be good for drainage. You are absolutely right with the climate. it also makes a big difference. As we have more rain here again this summer I always weigh my pots to decide if I already have to water additionally. Don't want the soil to be too moist constantly. At least the drainage should be ok for all of my trees. Fingers crossed! Hopefully you always have enough water then to keep your trees alive. Have a nice weekend!

Keine Ursache! Vielleicht findet sich ja was schönes.

Thank you! You also found my Osakazuki but it is in my parents' garden now and still doing well. I shape/prune all my trees every year in early spring. I really don't like when twigs get too long and too close to each other.

Beni maiko's color is always unreal. I also love it.

Thank You for watching!☺

Thank you! I think it's more than one ass.😆 There is a shooting range nearby.

Hello hello! Thank you. You are right, this times video quality is worse, right. It was a try to upscale FHD footage to 2k but I am also not satisfied with the result and it did not reduce the video file size or save processing time in the end. Next time I will again downscale from 4k. Taylor is a real diva! In our garden I can only try to plant it in the ground at the front door where is shade all day long. Or it has to stay in the container forever to easily move it around. Regarding Starfish I am excited to see how it will do there in full sun over summer and if it will hold the dark red color. For my Red nails I don´t know if it was a good idea to prune the main leader as the new twigs are growing very horizontally. Hopefully they will also lift up more later. I also could imagine to transplant this tree beside the Starfish at the pond where I first wanted to plant Taylor. I would rather like to see this tree when sitting on the terrace!🤓😃

@@Acerdorer You have tried very well with the Taylor, in my case perhaps a fungus got into it and it died this spring after 2 years of moving it several times. I hope you have very nice moments with the Starfish and see if it keeps the shade of red, I have one in medium shade and in August it turns very green. You have guessed the growth of Red Nails, it likes it up and to the side normally so next spring you will know what pruning you would best give it. I like that you have many plans with everything your parents keep in the garden and every video you make is wonderful. Good luck again this year with the Taylor!

Thanks a lot! I hope your maples will also do well this summer.

Hello! This gardencenter is in Groß Vollstedt in northern Germany.

Great! Thanks for the info. I just corrected the name.

Thank you! It really makes a difference when a tree is established and doing well in the ground instead of just having it in a pot. I just hope that Osakazuki can really grow bigger there because of the terrasse and pathway beside.

@@Acerdorer yep all is true. I like the maples placed in the ground, are more realistic with the green or flowers also. Nice job you’ve done there.

My last video was from Nielsen, but it was a little too early. Maybe I will visit Hachmann in 2 weeks but I am not sure yet.

@@Acerdorer do you live far from them?

About 80km from Nielsen and 40km from Hachmann. Hachmann I am only not sure because they seem to have no new varieties.

Thanks for the info. Unf. my tree is already dead and gone. The desease spread pretty quickly. There was no chance to save the tree. I also believe that most issues come from the soil resp. from constantly too wet roots and root rot. I reconsidered the drainage in my pots and always cut some additional holes. And I am testing a new lighter soil with more compost now. At Nielsen nursery they also recommended to add clay granulate to the soil.

It's a pity, yes! Do you also prune your maples in early spring before they leaf out? I ask myself if this might be the main reason. My Herhaim I pruned strongly before. Maybe fungus entered afterwards. I also did not see a chance to cut more to save the tree.

@@Acerdorer I didn’t prune in early spring before the leaf out. So it’s probably not infected through pruning. But I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the soil. I used Akadama + Peat. Has not been replaced for several years.

Haha, Yesss, thank you! A garden would be great. Fortunately my parents have a garden where I could already plant some of my trees like my big older Osakazuki. Meanwhile it is almost impossible here to afford a house with garden especially in or close to big cities like Hamburg.

My first Kuro hime died pretty quick after had bought and repotted it. I think the soil was too wet again and the tree got too much sun from the start. The new tree I did not repot yet. I will wait until fall now.

Thank you! My Osakazuki came in my parents' garden already 2 years ago.

Thank you! I am using a Oneplus 9 pro smartphone but it overheats when it gets too warm and then the image starts to stutter. That's why I also had to do 2-3 cuts in the vid. For editing I am using the freeware 'Shotcut' and I figured out that using the JPEG color range the colors look much better and realistic than with the MPEG c. range.

Thank you very much! You are right that Starfish looks similar to Trompenburg but the Starfish leaves are smaller and more curled I would say. I also have a Starfish now in my parents' garden. You will see it in my next video. I also always see trees that do not have exactly the same leaves like mine but it should be the same cultivar. Maybe some have grown from seeds then or the mother plant was already no 'original' cultivar. For example the bigger Seiryu in my parents' garden that I once bought from a Discounter looks different to my new small Seiryu from this video. And the Discounter tree never got good fall color yet. So buying trees from a good nursery for me is always the better deal.

Hey Manuel! If you are from Spain, I Live in Madrid and also I’m a big fan of the Japanese maples.

Hola fisio Manuales encantado de saludarte por aquí , ayer me suscrito a tu canal , yo estoy en la costa mediterránea en la provincia de Castellón, enhorabuena por el trabajo que se nota que haces con mucha ilusión en las miniaturas

@@mcitrus6283 Gracias Citrus y donde tu vives es complicado crecer arces por el clima mediterráneo. Normalmente yo me dedico más a los arces japoneses y los bonsái los hago por diversión pero que salgan bien. Gracias por echar un vistazo sobre mis vídeos, grabo más arces que otra cosa.

Hola gracias por tu comentario, por aquí a base de tener algunos resultados negativos con la experiencia de estos 3-4 años he conseguido cultivar bien los arces palmatum Japoneses , los tengo en el patio trasero en semisombra protegidos con la malla de techo y resguardados de los vientos y más o menos he conseguido tenerlos bonitos , unos pocos los tengo en tierra pero la mayoría en escurrideras de las que se usan para limpiar las lechugas de ensalada y así me va bien y crecen bonitos . Un saludo y estamos en contacto para ver cómo hacemos crecer los arces bien bonitos

Hey! Yesss, thank you! You are right with the Trompenburg. Last time I also added Glamour or Glamour girl as alt. name. The thing is when I google that name I can only find it at Hachmann and there it seems to be a very Trompenburg-like cultivar but not exaclty the same. I think I will stick to Trompenburg only for my tree then.

@@Acerdorer I thought the same about Hackmann, they have patented Glamour Girl.

This is filmed at Nielsen.

Thank you very much!☺

😅🥰 Thanks a lot! Indeed it is still very cold here. We have had a few warm, maybe too warm days but then it got cold again. Nature also seems to be confused. At least we had more than enough rain. Let's hope it will get warmer soon. Maybe you will find another gap to fill on your balcony with something new.😉😄

I found "the new one" ordered last night from the Nielsen nursery, it is "Murasaki Kiyohime". The place in my terrace “does not exist" but I will solve it😄. In fact, I'm going to add another one but it's from my area where I live, it's an Emma. I understand that you have hostile atmospheric conditions there this spring, short time to take advantage of the spring spectacle. I’m sorry to know this but I’m waiting your video from your balcony and garden’s parents.

😂 Congrats then!👍 I am at my parents just now and filmed a garden video yesterday. Hope I can cut and post it soon then. What I can already say is that my Red nails is only just leafing out. But it looks healthy. So I am optimistic.

@@Acerdorer Cool news, thanks you for the huge efforts! I’m really excited to see the shape of your Red Nails, the shoots are outstanding.

Haha 😆, yes I also know these situations. Only the visit was a little too early this time.

Very nice to hear! Hope it will do well.

Hey Man! Honestly I have to say that THIS tree I can live without. It would be much harder for me if I would lose one of my older trees. I also have the feeling that Herhaim mutated to a broom after I pruned it the first time but I don't think Herhaim should grow like a broom. Well, you will see soon that my balcony is still completely full with my other trees and a lot of them also got bigger pots this year. I your last video all your trees look very healthy! Can't wait to see the Red Nails in my parents garden. I am excited how my trees will do as I switched to another lighter soil now. I think my old rhododendron soil was too heavy and dense and so the drainage was too bad. Aphids I did not have so many this year but also the birds found and decimated more. Let's hope for a good season for our maples!

@@Acerdorer Hello. That's right, an older tree hurts more but Herhaim had very good seasons and thanks to your advertising we know more about it. I understand that in this season your terrace is going to look very good since you have more developed specimens, I'm waiting for that first video now that you release later this year. On soil I use a mixture of 4 soils designed by me according to the knowledge acquired and it works wonderfully with all the maples since not all of them are so acidic but you always have to consider whatever it is convenient to make your own recipes. I need to see Red Nails in your parents' garden finally! Just know that you would be the second to publish it 😄 but it is very interesting maple in full sun and good luck with it. I'm glad you purchased it. Sure we will have good season this year!

Thank you so much!
