Great video again David. Wanted to ask if it would be worth doing in the next growing season a defoliation to bring on some possible new shoots\buds in those areas that Need branches to fill in those gaps ?.. I found when I did it there were an abundance new shoots/buds as well as the new leaves at the same time. Double bonus ! Keep the vids coming, you always do a great job. Thanks 🙏
@Bonsaiworx 6 күн бұрын
@@chris996ss yes I will be encouraging this tree to back bud and push as much inner growth as possible. I’ve cut back hard so it should help with back budding this year. I will feed heavily now and partially defoliate next year. I’ll keep trimming the maple this year to push inner buds as well.

Great video! Just wondering what your recommendation would be for placement of JMs during the aussie summer period? Due to the layout of my house I don't have a suitable area for full sun all day (can't put up a sun shade for reasons sadly). I do have 2 spots - my standard spot gets morning sun and then covered by shade/roof from the afternoon (say about 2pm onwards), while the other spot gets no morning sun but full sun basically 2-3pm onwards. I've got 1 JM that gets a prolonged duration of sun compared to the other 5 (which are all very healthy and green), and it seems to be taking a hit with the leaf tips browning a bit while the foliage itself is turning yellow. The leaves are not crispy and I do water it daily especially on hot summer days. Any tips on placement or ideas on why this might be happening? It is being fertilised as well and basically under the same condition as the other 5 JMs so I'm thinking maybe it's getting too much sun? I have doubts that the issue is overwatering. Cheers

@@antonlab definitely the first spot you mentioned is better with morning sun and then shaded in the afternoon. I can water usually 4 times a day in summer and it’s all about keeping up the watering if you have to place it in full sun. I’ve found I can have Japanese maple is full sun but need to water 4 times a day to stop is from burning. Hope that helps

I'm sorry but this is nonsense......If you want to increase the health of a tree YOU DON'T CUT IT BACK......This tree looks healthy.....and so you can cut it back for shape.....WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ....Jap Maples also burn in hot direct sun........It is NOT...that they did not get enough water.....The water has nothing to do with the leaves burning........It is the amount of sunlight at critical times. Here in the UK I have watered my maples 3 times a day.....and the leaves burn.........They need shade, not water.
@Bonsaiworx 6 күн бұрын
Health could mean different things. The leggy growth and poor quality foliage is ‘unhealthy’ to me, so cutting back removes these and encourages healthier growth and back budding, improving the health of the tree. I’ve experimented with the additional watering in our hot summers with my Japanese maples in full sun. They did not burn. If you miss even one watering on a hot day, yes the leaves will cook and burn. Always appreciate reading everyone’s comments and great to have discussions.
