I have three mature, over 10 year old Emperor 1 Acers. All in large terracotta pots. Each Acer are located in different parts of my garden all having different exposures to the full Sun. One by my Pond enjoys almost a full day of Sunshine and it’s a beautiful Plum Purple, almost velvet looking leaves. One E1 is in a shaded location under the canopy of neighbouring trees, is a deep Claret Red and in the late Summer sunshine in the Autumn just illuminates the Autumn Fall colours. The third E1 is at the front of my property and is a nice deep red leaf. They are divine! But the late sunshine penetrates the leaves is akin to looking at red stained Cathedral glass as seen in Churches!

[@johnnyb.2355]

I have a crimson queen, emperor one, coral bark and bloodgood Japanese Maple. They are all in a same location morning Sun and late afternoon, the emperor one it's the only one that is not showing any kind of stress from Sacramento heat. But I love all of them.

[@Nicholas-db5sl]

Amazing colours even during the Summer Months (here in the UK). The afternoon sunlight makes the leaves glow a Ruby red, and once you see how bright these leaves glow then you can’t help raising a smile knowing that you’ve made the right decision in purchasing such a Maple. It’s a Maple that I’d certainly recommend!

[@DavidDHahn]

Just planted an Emperor 1 this year. Absolutely love the red Japanese maples, and have a couple varieties in the backyard already. Great channel, very helpful and informative, as I slowly plan out my new yard!

[@andrewmiller4664]

Emperor 1 is in my top 5 all time for JMs, it's the one that started it all for me and is the centerpiece of my front yard

[@JamesTiongson]

I bought an Emperor I recently, can't wait for it to grow big and strong. MRMAPLE GIFTCARD

[@jeredseely8227]

Great video! I like the 3 weepers comparison, what about a Bloodgood, fire glow, emperor 1 comparison video! Could through trompenburg in there too!

[@IcecoldDan26]

A classic! MRMAPLE GIFTCARD 🍁👍

[@bethhamel2]

I have a burgundy lace that drapes over my koi pond by my front porch and on each side of the house I have Emperor Ones. They are gorgeous.

[@sambabird7]

I have an Emperor I that I planted about 23 or so years ago. In the fall, the afternoon sun is behind it as you head up my driveway and it looks spectacular! It is a vibrant, glowing red that draws the eye from a distance and looks like it is lit from within. The only tree that rivals it is an Osakzuki that would stop traffic in the fall. That was at a different home. I think I bought this online from Dick Wolf’s nursery. I got lucky. I didn’t know what a treasure I was getting! Word to the wise, don’t plant it under a power line; it will get there before you know it and you will have to defend your tree from the power company when they trim periodically. It isn’t really a threat to the power lines as the branches that reach that high are small and light weight, but the people that subcontract for the power companies are not concerned with such things, only with shearing off anything that comes near the lines. If you happen to be gone when they come through, you might come back to a flat-topped tree that looks like the branches have been chewed off rather than cut cleanly. 😢 Mine has recovered its shape mostly, but it would be better to put slow-growing dwarf maples in such locations, or weeping, spreading cultivars. I didn’t know how big my Emperor I was going to get when I put it there and I want others to benefit from my Japanese maple gardening mistakes! I could plan a great Japanese maple garden now, but I might not be around to see it mature! 😂🤣😂

[@luissuarezwatts5334]

Fantastic tree. Mr Maple podcast 👌

[@chrishouston1484]

I ordered one of these this morning, and am rolling the dice in zone 10 in Southern California. Fingers crossed! #japanesemaples

[@micheller3297]

Thank you for showing us all the videos!!!! Mr. Maple gift card!!!! ! God bless!!!!

[@melissamoore1464]

Thanks for this information. In the Triangle, NC, area, in an area of full sun with high heat and humidity, this might be a tree that would finally survive in our yard. It would be thrilling to have a Japanese maple like this.

[@huhsnare]

I’m in Charlotte and just planted a 2ft tall one in my back yard. Keeping my fingers crossed lol

[@GardeningWithMaples]

Awesome tree! Mr Maple Gift Card!

[@cathya44]

I have it, could not be happier!!! thanks!

[@MrMapleShow]

Great to hear!

[@dw.imaging]

Matt talking about trees sounds exactly like Malcom Reed talking about BBQ.

[@1980cah]

I keep hearing zones 5-8. I'm zone 9b and a local nursery is selling this and the Dissectum variety. I want to plant this in my screen near my pool area. But I face South West so it would get sun most of the day. The screen cuts the rays a heck of a lot. Going outside it is such a drastic difference. I have serious doubts this can handle the Orlando summers.

[@1ronhall]

I must have one ….. or three!

[@joebruhin2098]

Thanks Matt and Tim, can You Please do a video on a Sazanami?

[@myk1200s]

Great video guys 👍 do you have any large speciemens on the "HOT BLONDE" OR "HOT TAMALE" THAT YOU CAN SHOW US ❓KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍

[@keithwebb4787]

Great content! Thank you for sharing!

[@lisamaco]

I'm in zone 8 in coastal SC. I planted one in early May this year and it's done great. The Japanese beetles got on it, but we took care them pretty quick. Then over the last couple weeks we've had daily heat advisories. This tree gets about 6 hours of sun from 2pm to sunset. it gets water daily. Over the last few days, the leaves are turning brown and shriveling up. I think they got scorched. The branches are pliable and seem okay. Any thoughts? I thinking I just leave it alone, let the leaves drop this winter and pray for new growth in the spring.

[@MrMapleShow]

Definitely dealing with stress. It should be ok and push new growth as long as the buds are healthy. I would let it defoliate on its own because they will help protect the new buds.

[@micheller3297]

# Japanese maples!!!!!!! God bless!!!!! Have a great day!!!!!!!

[@shandke]

I love these trees! MRMAPLE GIFTCARD

[@joebruhin2098]

Totally agree....I love mine but it doesn't get enough sun, I thought about moving it but it's really too big now for to handle it. It still gets vibrant in the fall but not too great of color in the summer.

[@sudahiawad4498]

What zone are you in? I'm in 9b and just got one a month ago. Do these have roots I should be concerned about?

[@ConnahJay]

@@sudahiawad4498 No, roots are non invasive

[@sudahiawad4498]

Great video guys! I'm new to Japanese Maples. I have an Emperor one and need to know about the root system. I don't want to plant it too close to the house if they have aggressive roots. MR. MAPLE GIFT CARD

[@MrMapleShow]

They don’t have aggressive roots

[@antonyl6502]

Been looking for a maple that can withstand a lot of heat / sun! Thanks for the info on this. Building myself a little lost up over here 😂 MRMAPLE GIFTCARD

I just bought an emperor 1. ❤

How can you tell the difference between Bloodgood and Emperor 1?

[@brandonjohnson2728]

Awesome video such a great tree thank y'all for sharing a specimen video on it!! I can't wait for a Dick Wolf deep dive on the podcast!!!! 😃👍🍁🎉🍁

[@christaylor8595]

Is there anyway you guys can tell us ages of trees when you show them? Also do you guys have a video of fire glow and Empire 1 compared. Thank you

[@MrMapleShow]

Coming soon! Just filmed it

[@jessicakillian3738]

I'm in southwest Missouri and need something for my front yard that is West facing...it will be in 100% afternoon sun....as you know we can have extremes over 100 degrees and easily a good month or more in the 90s. Do you think these would be OK? There is no shade because we lost our big trees in a tornado this past May.

[@briannettles786]

Mrmaple giftcard;]

[@Eric.Mercado]

I've been obsessed with these gorgeous trees the moment I first saw one. I'd love to have one but ive been hesitant due to the countless fails growing them in my area, Phoenix 9b. I have to at least try. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated, greatly 🙏

[@MrMapleShow]

Definitely would need more shade in zone 9. Maybe start with it in a pot so you can control the location. We will be adding a podcast soon all about help for high heat areas

[@1980cah]

Have you heard of Cranberry Hibiscus? The leaves are very similar. I'm in zone 9b and have successfully grown one. Lots of neighbors have it. They produce dark purple flowers.

[@razorbackbowser]

I am a beginner but picked one of these up today. it’s a few feet tall in maybe a one gallon size. I kind of want to keep it in a pot and be able to take indoors in extreme heat and or cold here in Kansas. Any thoughts on this idea?

[@jagmeetsmann]

Which one to chose for zone 6 but windy area in Maryland. To be planted on east side hill slope. Bloodgood or Emperor 1?

[@MrMapleShow]

Our nursery is in zone 6b here in the mountains of NC. These all work in zone 6

[@Helljumper7200]

How tall are the 1 gallon trees?

[@MrMapleShow]

Typically around 18 inches+

[@soniataitt636]

How high temp can they grow in . I am in the caribbean and the temp gets up to about average 86f.

[@realestatewithjerrad6716]

Mrmaple openhouse 🏡

[@mathewthomas7616]

Can this survive afternoon sun in Zone 8A?

[@KennethPorosky]

Will it make zone 4

[@MrMapleShow]

No these work zones 5-9

[@jedimindtrik]

Love the series of heat tolerant JMs. Even after watching them and google searching, I am trying to find out if its worth getting an Emperor 1 here in the Jacksonville, FL area. Zone 9A and about 40 minutes inland (no salt) I have seen some people saying yes and some no. The main thing to worry about is that it will be full sun western facing, 20 feet from the house and 5 feet from the neighbors fence. I have a horrible Bradford Pear there now (previous owner put that train wreck in) and I want to get rid of it and put a decent shade tree that wont get too tall 20ft max. I was thinking Crepe Myrtle but those will also get messy on the driveway. Any suggestions?

[@MrMapleShow]

Zone 9 Florida will require some shade for a Japanese maples. Shantung maples may hold up but it is limited.

[@jedimindtrik]

suspected as much, thanks for the fast response!! @@MrMapleShow ... and good videos

[@dannyboy536]

Here in South Australia, I can get my hands on Emperor 1 and Shin Deshojo saplings. I'd like to go with the Shin Deshojo but I don't think it will be as hardy as the Emperor 1. Any experience with Shin Deshojo sun hardiness?

[@MrMapleShow]

It’s done very well but I would say Emperor 1 is superior in high heat

[@69jwjansen]

Mr Maple 🍁 Gift Card!

[@blessedbga2]

I just read that Emperor 1 has whirlybirds. Is this true? I had a silver maple that wreaked havoc in our yard, flowerbeds and gutters. I had a bloodgood for 12 years and never noticed whirleybirds.

[@MrMapleShow]

Any maples can have seeds but they are not nearly the issue as silver maple is

[@BeautifulMaplesAndShrubs]

Could you tell me if Atropurpureum japanese maple can handle full sun in zone 7b.

[@MrMapleShow]

Should do great once established but zones do not rate how hot it gets.

[@zeroibis]

#JAPANESE MAPLES #japanesemaples

[@RiseOrRelinquish]

I bought two of these about 4ft high. How far apart should they be planted? I'm in southeast PA

[@MrMapleShow]

Depends some on the longterm goal. I would recommend at least 5-6ft but they would be close in 15 years. I’d you don’t want them touching that quickly 10 ft maybe a good option

[@RiseOrRelinquish]

@@MrMapleShow okay TY. I'll go with 10 ft.

[@sadjoy4u]

MrMaple good day gentlemen I am from Mauritius in the Tropic of Capricorne.Japanese acer has bewitched me.I was in Canada some time ago.I brought some seeds from across the barrier,sowed them,but no plant came out.Each time I watch your programs that bewitchment keeps coming back.I WANT A JAPANESE ACER.Brian please help me.I have my son visiting Canada soon and I want to ask him to bring me some seeds which can germinate here, in the tropical climate in Mauritius.Can I hope for that?

[@MrMapleShow]

They typically work USDA zones 5-9

[@valeriereinholtz4523]

How tall does this one grow

[@MrMapleShow]

Typically 15-18 ft in 10 years
