Yeah pls im dizzy.

[@navalhistoryhub3748]

I have just brought my first three maples thanks to you're channel. It gave me the confidence to give it a go. My partner passed away one and a half years ago and we have four children under 10 and gardening has been the outlet I have used to cope with my loss. Thank you again for all you do with this channel and take care my friend.

[@MapleNutz]

I’m so glad I could help and I’m so sorry you are going thru that alone. It must be really tough. I also lost a love one and I know that feeling. I hope my channel can keep educating you and feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’ll try to give you the best advice I can.

[@navalhistoryhub3748]

@@MapleNutz thank you so much when I get stuck I will make sure to hit you up. Much appreciated.

[@BM-fw4xt]

Something to also keep in mind. As the the container begins to fill up with roots. You will have less and less room for water. They will probably need to be watered a little more often than you think. The container will become full of more roots than potting soil. When that happens it can't hold on to as much water than normal.

[@MapleNutz]

You are definitely right. I will point that out on my next updated video of this.

[@robertgrant008]

Thank you, I’m working on my camera movements and I will not do this again. I’m sorry.

[@lonestarpatriot876]

Great video. One thing I think is important to understand is that pots will get hot if sun is on them. Also, when in pots and on cement or gravel, they can bake. I make my own pot shades, and I never put pots on cement, gravel, or hardscapes unless it is 100% shaded. I would advise anyone putting these trees in pots to spend time throughout their day, every day, feeling the outside of each and every pot. Also, I use a slow release fertilizer but I put it in empty tea bags so I have 100% control of when they get it and when they don't. When I take the tea bags out in early summer, there is no residual fertilizer left for them to feed on. Also, slow release fertilizers tend to take 3-4 weeks to kick in at the beginning of Spring so I use a liquid fertilizer to get them started after winter.

[@MapleNutz]

I talk about fertilizer on my latest fertilizer video. I also use liquid fertilizer as a first app and then move on to organic fertilizer. Thanks for your comment. Sure helps me become a much better youtuber.

[@MapleNutz]

Thank you so much. As you can see, I need that bad. 😂

[@Acerdorer]

Thanks for your video and infos! My maple issues are currently still cold temps and too wet soil. I know the drainage in my pots is good but I think I should not repot in fall anymore. My repotted trees still do not push out much. Maybe also the rhododendron soil I used is too acidic. But I also don't dare to change the soil again now.

[@MapleNutz]

Thanks for sharing you experience. Repotting during Winter is best in my opinion. If you get tons of snow you need to watch for snow mold, it’s very common on lawns but I’m sure it would be a problem with small trees as well. Trees on pot doesn’t grow as much as trees in the soil but that due to microbiology. You can’t mimic the same microbiology in the soil on a pot, it will never be the same.

ya i just put up some shade cloths just because of the sun,im in the central valley and it gets teally hot here, so we do what we gotts do,,,on a lighter note i just ordered a purple ghost and a sister...love your videos....

Why is there so much concrete in your backyard/ Did it used to be a plant nursery? You sure love J. maples!

[@MapleNutz]

I purchased the home like this. At the time I didn’t know I was going to end up with over 250 trees. I wasn’t a Maple Nutz back then.

[@PhuongTran-rl1km]

My goodness! That is a spectacular collection. Did you collect all of them in one year? It seems this sunlight situation came on suddenly, so I assume this is the first year with them. I just started getting interested in maples due to my new found love for bonsai. My most special tree is the one I received from my father the year he passed, so, It's a physical reminder of him. It was the last thing he gave to me when I moved to my current house. The tree was only a volunteer plant that he ripped out of his neighbors gravel driveway. I smile every time I think of how it came to me... ripped out from by the roots and gifted in a plastic grocery bag. But it's the most beautiful tree today.

[@MapleNutz]

Yes, I started my journey with Japanese Maples in October when I first ordered some trees from Mr Maple. Now I own over 250 of them and going for more. I have been working with plants for a long time thou.

I think you need some grass or greenery planted in the ground, and ponds etc, basically setup a Japanese Garden in your backyard to give it more beauty and possibly cool it off some.

[@MapleNutz]

I can’t do that cause Im planning on moving from here in the near future

[@emT1223]

This video, made me proud of myself. 😊 Because although I want so many Japanese maples, I still consider where I’m at and where I can put it. I’m in Central Texas so Instead, I buy roses!😂 Also, I hardly fertilize my Japanese maples that is why they’re not as big.

Thanks for your comment my Maple Nutz friend 🍁🥜

[@MHolman-cn4qe]

Thank you for the wealth of information! I have a dwarf mature Japanese maple that was planted yesterday. Is there anything else that I need to do?

[@MapleNutz]

Yes, if you have it in full sun, pay close attention to it and see how it reacts to being in the sun all day. If it reacts badly to it, remove it from full sun. Other than that, enjoy it.

[@michaelsalcido3736]

Mr Nutz, thank you for your videos. I’m curious. With all the plants in containers you have, I am commenting now which is end of August, winter will be approaching soon. Fall is beginning, but what do you do with all your plants in containers? How do you protect your maples for the winter?

[@MapleNutz]

I don’t protect then from winter. I leave them where they are. The trees will go dormant and next year they will come back.

[@terrencebrooks3194]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed ‘touring’ your garden. It so happens that I just bought one shade cloth from Amazon, hoping to set it up soon. My question: what zone are you in? I am in 5b. my trees just barely leaf out and the sun is bright but not scorching yet.

Good stuff man, loving ur maples. All great points.

[@MapleNutz]

[@debrabouldin7220]

Thanks for the information, I have my first Japanese maple and you gave me lots of information to work with.

[@MapleNutz]

I’m glad I could help. Please don’t use potting soil on your Japanese maple. Use a mix of pine bark mulch with a bit of peat moss and perlite. They need lots of drainage.

[@dduplis]

All the stones and concrete you have got going on there doesn't help.Typically red leaf maples can take full sun and yellow/light green leaf maples need part sun or afternoon shade.

[@sunbursttangerine]

If I remember correctly, Matt & Tim said that heat-tolerant JMs may crisp in the sun the first year you own it, but once established, it won’t.

[@MapleNutz]

Yes, that is correct, however I have white rocks which reflects more heat, concrete which also doesn’t hurt and my windows which reflects the sunlight. The reflection of the sun by a window is hotter than the actual sun. (120-140 degrees F).

What zone are you in?

[@MapleNutz]

8A

[@Nicholas-db5sl]

Pots/containers dry out quicker because of wind evaporation. I watch mine carefully and it takes several hours to do the rounds to water my collection. As for fertiliser, I use 40ml of Tomorite (Tomato feed) or 40ml of Liquid Seaweed in a 9.5ltr watering can. I seem to be doing ok, so far….

[@MapleNutz]

You got a nice system in place. 🙏

[@T1374]

I watched another video on KZbin where the the sun reflecting off the house window burned their tree. I just bought a couple of Shin deshojo maples, and I'm trying to avoid killing them 😆

[@MapleNutz]

Keep them away from window reflection is one way to keep them alive 😂

[@1sara113]

Do you need to replace the pot mix? If so how often?

[@MapleNutz]

You do no need to replace the soil. Every few year you will have to repot them which in this case you will be adding fresh new soil.

[@Folkintherye]

My maple tree leaves are turning brown from the heat and trunk was green now a little brown. Might be poor drainage. Any suggestions into saving it. Also noticed grass hoppers in both of mine.

[@MapleNutz]

Remove tree from full sun and improve drainage with well drained soil. If they are in the ground consider doing the same.

Hola, vivo a 2163 metros de altura. ¿La altura afecta en algo a los Japanes Maples?? hasta el momento tengo solo 6 variedades, las más antiguas van a cumplir 3 años conmigo. Excelente video, me gusta como eres honesto y muestras todo no solo la parte bonita (qué para mí en realidad todo de tus videos es bonito)

[@MapleNutz]

Muchas gracias, deveras q agradezco mucho q aprecies mi honestidad. Cuando se trata de plantas, el clima es un factor muy grande. Si llevas 3 años con tus JMs pues quiere decir q no les va mal a esa altura.

[@franciscoespinoza5912]

Video bien hecho y muy informativo. Muy bien bro, me gustan tus videos. I got like 40 japanese maples. I also lost a few, for overwatering. They start turning black at the base of the tree.

[@MapleNutz]

You are very correct, when you are over watering they start turning black at the base of the tree but unfortunately once you start seeing the black, it’s already lat for that tree. Before it starts turning black the leafs will dry out and most people will apply more water to them.

[@Dmslide77]

How to do you treat white powder mildew on the Japanese maples?

[@MapleNutz]

With a fungicide from lowes and avoid getting the leaf wet, late afternoon/night time at al cost. Be advised that once damaged is done is very difficult to get rid if it.

[@howardjohnson1053]

In regards to your grow medium, how do you get your ph dialed in?

[@MapleNutz]

Don’t worry too much about getting the ph right. Japanese Maples strive in acidic soil and the soil mix I use is very organic. Which will be towards the acidic side. If you still worry about the PH, make sure your PH lvl is at 5.0-5.5 and if for some reason your ph lvl is above 7.0 you might need to apply a bit of sulfur for lawns and keep en eye on it or replace the soil with a mix of pine bark mulch, peat moss and perlite and you will be fine with both methods. I hope you understand and if not please join the fb group (Maple Nutz) and get in touch with me and I’ll be happy to help you my Maple Nutz friend.

I am not sure why you have a giant back yard that looks like a tennis court, then all these tiny one gallon nursery pots on the edge. (I think part of flower and shrub gardens is design, not just an abundance of plants). I have to limit my JMs to less than a dozen, because I want to have other plants too. I had to get only JMs specifically good for heat, so that eliminates most JMs. Collecting is fun, but at some point, it can be too mucn.
