Could you make a video on the autumn blaze maple

[@robinwilson8858]

Thank you very much for posting! They just planted this tree and the skyline locust in our development. Your video is very helpful.

[@aggie05too30]

Super video with a LOTS of details and you definitely helped me make some decisions as to where to plants these trees when I get them. They are beautiful. Thank you very much sir. Excellent.

[@sharonpayne2854]

Great Video! Very informative and helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone!

[@gypsylady3200]

I live near Nashville, TN and I'm planning on buying a couple red maples to plant in my yard. I was doing research on how to plant them and came across your video. Very helpful!!

[@darrenl5302]

Very helpful. Many thanks.

[@vladorlovsky6623]

Very informative video. I just planted one in my front yard. Did not know about it letting grass and mulch so close to the trunk.

[@Tina06019]

Thank you, I enjoy your videos.

[@JimPutnam]

+Tina Thank you for watching

[@debraparker1550]

Excellent info. 👍

[@briantownsley2718]

were in Ohio, just bought one, thanks for the advice, its in a spot that has room to grow.

[@richarderwin2369]

Thank you

[@Gelo202]

My grammar has some of those red maples has never care for them and they are doing extremely excellent... But is a great advice on the Maples.

[@marcie5525]

Living in yucca valley, I wanted trees for shade. I hope mine survives on our lot. Thanks for the info

[@filipvernica258]

Yeah yeah I’m a beekeeper and I see some red maple flowers right now in February here in Portland Oregon

[@JC-nc9rt]

Can you make a video on shantung maples? Your videos are so helpful. Thanks for what you do!

[@sherrywieringa5001]

Can you talk about autumn blaze maple and the difference between it and October glory maple?

[@Natalie-vd8df]

Thank you for sharing. Very helpful. May I ask how October Glory turns colours? Does it go immediately from green to red? Or does it turn colours in stages from green to yellow to orange to red? I’m looking for a maple that offers orange and red and with good colour variation, not sure if October Glory is the one, or if you could recommend any other species. I enjoy watching your channel. I’ve learned a lot from your sharing. Thanks again!

[@britter1955]

Thank you for this video! These are beautiful trees. I want to plant an October Glory Maple and an Eastern Redbud in my yard, how far apart should I plant them?

[@giovannifunaro5408]

That guy was 'born' to be a landscaper.

[@gennamary11]

If its best to have a mulch base for this tree is it okay to also add some small flowers into that mulch bed or is it best to just leave it by itself? I'd like it to be a full bed like a center piece in my back yard.

[@triggeredsmrxx5305]

Do one on autumn blaze pls

[@cricketaylor]

Thanks for the info, I just bought 10 of these that were on clearance at Walmart for $6.00 each. I bought a house with a big lot that has absolutely no trees so I hope these add a little appeal

[@corrinjade3973]

How are the trees doing?

[@cricketaylor]

@@corrinjade3973 They were doing great, but I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and unfortunately Hurricane Zeta destroyed them last October ☹️

[@danielalexander2739]

Jim how close did you plant your October glory maples? I have two of them and I would love to plant them close to each other. Yours look pretty close to one another and crepe myrtles in between them?

[@deborahbillings2053]

Help! We planted a October glory maple two years ago. I think we made a mistake of planting to close to our home/sidewalk. Can it be dug up and replanted? How do you recommend doing so?

[@patromero155]

Which one is better October glory or autumn blaze ?

[@zacvee7255]

Wow... 2.9k views and not a SINGLE disliked. Impressive.

[@annievaganay1031]

I just got one for Mother’s Day! We are putting it in the ground tomorrow, do you have any tips on digging the hole and adding the mulch? How big of a circumstance should we provide with the mulch? How often should we water at first? Should we build the mulch up on a mound sort of?

[@batmanbluedarker5087]

Hey I hope you can answer me soon my kwazan cherry tree has Radom holes in the leaves what does it means. It turns brown then the spot falls off.

[@debbiebrugier5410]

I planted a red maple 1 yr. Did fine all winter. Now it’s spring and the top of my tree seems to be “dead”. Have branches shooting out on the lower deck of the tree. Any help would be appreciated

[@jimmysprinkles3]

Wonderful video , thanks. How often should you water this Maple during hot summers? Is bark mulch or gravel mulch better? I just bought a 2 metre tall Maple October Glory in a pot. Thanks again from Australia!

[@benbulliman8002]

How’s the tree going?

[@chrisatwater3829]

Could this be grown indoors? They grow here in FL so they don't natively go dormant, could it be done?

[@danielalexander2739]

Are those Natchez crepe myrtle planted alongside ?

[@tpaflusa]

I planted one here in Florida in zone9b. I hope it does well.

[@kashkhan393]

Good luck.

[@somerandomguy7458]

That thing will die

[@FelipeRochaa]

I planted a red maple in my garden in the city of Campo Grande in Brazil where the planting zone here is equivalent between zone 9 and 10 of the USA. Now it's winter and the tree is completely without leaves, 15 ft tall. In May (autumn) it turned orange, not so red. Here the winters are dry and a bit cold, and rainy summers. Do you think my maple will grow right here?

[@anabonn3044]

I live in the US in zone 9A and there are lots of red maples and glory maples here, they grow really well. The glory october maple is mostly orange, not intense red

[@marcioaugustoberenguel3286]

Hello, I have a red maple, how do I change it (cutting)? Can you help me please?

[@SonOfAGun1814]

when fast growing trees dot com shipped to Arizona about 8 years ago I bought one of these from them when they listed it going up to zone 9 which i'm in. it's been planted since then and it literally grows about 1 inch per year lol. now they list it as only going up to zone 8 and no longer ship here. it's still tiny! this past fall was the first year when it didn't drop all of it's leaves super early and it actually gave me amazing fall color for our area, even though it was bright neon yellow vs. red. I heavily mulched it this year and am hoping it will turn out to be as good as it can be in my zone. I put it in the very middle of my back yard where I wanted a huge specimen tree with lots of shade but what can ya do :) it's still a tree and as long as it lives i'll keep trying to help it thrive

[@JimPutnam]

One problem in this business is that most plants are only sold based on how cold the winters are and not how hot the summers are. Zone 9 is very different in different parts of the country. It definitely will benefit from having mulch on the roots.

[@gustavoaguilar4496]

How is your tree doing? I have the same problem but in California

[@gustavoaguilar4496]

@@SonOfAGun1814 Chinese elm are really strong trees i have one in the back yard fast growing and just needs water and a trim in the fall mine turns red yellow Purple if we have a early frost thanks for your help👍

[@Countryboy78]

Will these grow in a 9a hardiness zone?

[@herning69]

Great video. Thanks. Can October Glory grow in Denmark?

[@somerandomguy7458]

AssingBo yes

[@raymondkanjia3703]

Jim, We need to plant a October Glory in the front yard in Dallas, TX (Zone 8B) It is May now and need to ask if it is too late to plant and if so, can I plant it in late August?? Really could use your feedback and cant thank you enough for all of your videos!

[@jaimeduran3378]

Hope you planted the tree. I would have waited until fall, but if it survived the summer you should be good. I also live in the area and planted an Autumn Blaze which is almost the same tree.

[@tiakolovos575]

I'm in nj and just 3 weeks ago planted one in my tiny front yard. 5 feet from concrete and pavers all around. I'm assuming I need to move it. When is the best time to do that? I really need shade in that spot in front of my front door and skylights. Any suggestion for a substitute?

[@JimPutnam]

You could switch to almost any oak. Your asking the wrong person about the correct time to move something, because I will say today. Fall is probably best, but I would do it anytime. Good luck with it.

[@ambermills9863]

You mentioned not good for small spaces? But the space was never defined? What would be the minimum space or ideal space you'd consider for planting an October Glory? Thanks!

[@alexmalespin7635]

Good question. Following

[@AJ-ox8xy]

Can these trees be tapped?

[@blitzz8474]

Hi I live in the uk , do you know where can I buy October's glory seeds? Cant find anywhere :(

[@snowbrdr911]

Could the leaves turning red in June also be a sign of too much water? We have two October Glories and an Autumn Blaze, we are experiencing their leaves turning red, but we have had a lot of rain. How much mulch would you recommend covering the roots with? How long to leave the hose on them after weeks of no rain?

[@gustavoaguilar4496]

Mine is turning yellow and it's Jun did you ever solve your problem?

[@chawlsey]

I live in WA state. I have a very sick October Glory tree. The leaves are spotted and yellow. Any tips for a full recovery. I love this tree so much!

[@frankdavidson9675]

try some epsom salts (magnesium ) it helps keeping plant s green -------- thespots may be a fungus try copper spray -------home depot

[@frankdavidson9675]

is it normal for a young red maple to have some red and some green leaves in late spring

[@CayseLazier]

You stated grass should not grow right up against this tree. Does the same go for other red maples as well? We moved into our house a couple years ago and I got rid of a mound of mulch that was around one of our red sunset maples, and now I'm thinking maybe I should have just reduced the height of the mound? Thanks!

[@JimPutnam]

+cayse lazier You should keep mulch around it, but not piled up on it

[@tiffanyk1596]

How about the red sunset maple? Are they very similar to the october glory? Same maintenance etc.?

[@somerandomguy7458]

red sunset is much harder to take care of then an october glory. they need a lot more amending and water

[@somerandomguy7458]

where did u buy this tree?

[@jeffreyk2297]

Seems like so many trees have surface roots. Is there a tree that does not?

[@jz2028]

How close the maple to your house?

[@P_Belle]

Is an October Glory Red Maple smaller than a Willow Oak? I'm looking for a 2nd story screen; have about 12 ft from fence (each side).

[@frankdavidson9675]

in time red maple will be huge 50 ft tall ??????????

[@sloane7268]

How is the october glory vs the Legacy sugar maple? Zone 7...

[@JimPutnam]

In the Southeast I would definitely do the red maple. The sugar maples prefer cooler areas. They are native in the south, but in higher elevations.

[@alexish1758]

How much do you bought this?

[@jctcaj]

I have 3 red maples in front yard space is not a problem but the tree roots in my lawn are and I don't thing they look good . The trees are 21 years old now and about 40 feet tall. I do not like these trees, besides roots they are always dropping dead branches. I need permission to cut them down from the hoa "the local busy bodies" and I need a good tree to replace them if I am going to have any chance of getting the go ahead to replace them. I have been hoping that a big storm would do the job for me but no luck yet. Any ideas on a good shade tree for charlotte area. I don't want a tree that gets over 40 feet either. Don't want a 100 foot tall tree falling on my house.

[@gaylatrice1401]

Looking for a “how to plant” Old Glory Red Maple video.

[@JimPutnam]

I have several videos where I plant trees. Search for crape myrtle or Japanese maple planting on my channel. Same principles apply. Thanks for watching.

[@JoneyJefe]

How far from your house in the front yard would you recommend?

[@soumilyarlagadda9764]

30-40 feet

[@joudomsouk]

Thinking of purchasing one. When is the ideal time to plant?

[@JimPutnam]

Maples like this are super industrial. It could go in anytime with fall being the most ideal.

[@frankdavidson9675]

plant in the fall say nov.

[@otroman5]

Will this one grow in Arizona heat? Thanks

[@soumilyarlagadda9764]

It wont unless you are in a cooler climate like payson or flagstaff.

[@soumilyarlagadda9764]

They can grow in southern california

[@torogach]

I planted an October glory maple tree about two months ago. It is about 7ft tall at this point. I made the mistake of over watering the tree (soak wet every day), and now most leaves are getting kind of burn, getting somewhat curled up, not very good looking. I think I messed it up with too much water. Is there any way I can help it go back to normal? Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

[@frankdavidson9675]

just dont water for while you should see improvement in 2-3 weeks

[@ryanmcginnis2553]

I read zones 5-9. How bad for it would it be to plant it in zone 10

[@anabonn3044]

take a look in parks and around your neighborhood to see if they are some maples there

[@somerandomguy7458]

Not bad I have an autumn blaze and an October glory here in remission Viejo. They grow fast, but they need a lot of space make a big hole and put a mix of native and well draining soil and mulch the tree. Keep it watered

[@soumilyarlagadda9764]

i have one here in socal. whoever says they cant grow here is ignorant. mine is 20 feet tall!
