It's Time to Plant Dan's Japanese Maple Tree

[@linakhoury6623]

Its awonderful Japanese Maple tree and the Rhododendron plants very beautiful.

[@darlatidwell6255]

Dan's beautiful Japanese Maple and the gorgeous Rhodies really pop with color in there so nicely against all that green. Absolutely beautiful yard and gardens Kincaid's. 👍

[@MikeKincaid79]

Thanks Darla! Looking forward to seeing it all develop over the years.

[@toddhawley1219]

He is amazing. Has me hooked on Rhododendrons.

[@Gr8Gasping]

A few years ago, my neighbors Japanese Maple blew seeds into my yard and one sprouted. So I dug it up and potted it. It is now 5 feet tall(including the pot) and beautiful. Until I saw your video, I did not know how lucky I was that it sprouted. BTW, you are the Rhoddy King!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Love my rhododendrons!

[@ssal4699]

This has just happened to me it’s a very small seedling but very excited to see how it turns out

[@sandy-rr1by]

Good choice! The red twigs will make it blend with the Japanese maple. I love those trees!

[@MikeKincaid79]

They are such beautiful trees and pair well with rhododendrons.

[@brownthumbnursery]

It was cool to see your lovely wife out there with you today! I haven’t seen any videos from her channel pop up recently. Has she slowed down on doing them?

[@camicri4263]

Good morning Mike! And a few in my garden too! Beautiful!🤗❤🤗

[@MikeKincaid79]

Good morning Camelia!

[@camicri4263]

You can come plant some in my garden! 😉☺

[@soonzach4017]

Love Japanese Maple tree,you are a Mr green thumb, always love your videos, thank you for sharing.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Thanks for watching!

[@vonries]

Good luck Mike.

[@soonzach4017]

Very beautiful flowers.

[@penguin1165]

Going to be fabulous, be like a fire with red and yellow flames . I'm waiting for a cunninghams White to arrive anytime now ,but still bowled over by starbright champagne, kiwi magic and honey butter. Great video of a canvas that keeps expanding.

[@MikeKincaid79]

That's it exactly! A gardener's canvas. I couldn't have put it better. The Honey Butter is a superb plant.

[@damcjr]

Good looking tree. Great color.😊

[@lobe2032]

That is a gorgeous arrangement and I absolutely love the yellow rhodedendrons, I am about to think they are my favorite along with the ones that are going to Shellies mom. Anyway beautiful job as usual and tell everyone I said hello.

[@MikeKincaid79]

The girls say "hello"! Yes, the Nancy Evans Rhododendron is a fantastic yellow and the Flaming Star is a real showstopper.

[@QueenReina-rx5vx]

I am very envy with all of these beutiful plants filled up with blooms..I would love to have them all over our house in the Philippines...oh my how beautiful they would be with all those different blooms..I love all of them .. 💗

[@carminepetracca7518]

shelli made a great choice mike. that's a beautiful rhodie.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Thanks Carmine. I think that white will light up that shady area.

[@Dale_LifeSoup]

When that Japanese Maple gets big it is going to look awesome sitting amongst all those rhododendrons

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yes it will. I've got a couple other examples of what it will look like in other areas of my landscape.

[@maryrodgers6041]

Hey Mike, I have a Japanese Maple located on my front yard on Long Island, NY and every spring little saplings start growing and I dig them up and I have about 20 baby Japanese Maples growing.

[@MikeKincaid79]

Awesome

[@michaelmin241]

Beautiful. We live in an area that used to be sugar cane land and also possibly near a road way. The soil is very hard. Even after adding compost, mulch, and other soil products. The soil seems to dry out and get compacted. I’m inspired to get a Japanese Maple, but they are hard to find at garden shops and nurseries here in Hawaii. My gladiolus doesn’t well. Will try rhododendron, too.

[@davidmcclellan9959]

OH THANKS YOU MIKE LOVE DAVID

[@baldyeti]

Whoa, whoa, whoa ! Don’t be ruining your reputation! If I recall correctly, several of Dan’s seeds sprouted, but the birds raided the hoop house and propagation tote. Daggum, you’ve got a lot of pretty growing on your property. Between the trees, flowers, Shelllie’s smile, and your cubs, how do you take it?!?😉 I dig the T-shirt. Looks like you enjoyed the vacation too!

[@MikeKincaid79]

It was a fantastic vacation! 2 week road trip from Washington, all the way down the California coast, to Phoenix, up through Arizona, through Utah, the salt flats, Idaho, Oregon, and finally through White Pass in Washington. Memories for a lifetime. I'm ready to plan the next trip, lol.

[@baldyeti]

@@MikeKincaid79 plan the next one to the north and come see what Alaska can impress you all with

[@ronfairley5461]

Mike, I've watched your growing Japanese Maples from seed videos, but I have an issue: my Japanese Maple is dropping it seeds NOW, not in the fall. I live in zone 6, any ideas? Thanks, Joyce

[@MikeKincaid79]

Hey Joyce, that's perfectly normal for the trees to drop some seeds in the spring. They just aren't viable. The viable seeds will hang on until fall and those are the ones you want to collect. If all the seeds are falling then you may have another problem such as the tree not getting enough water.

[@marschlosser4540]

Gonna look great. Viva Arizona and Montezuma's Castle :)

[@MikeKincaid79]

It was such an awesome trip! Now I want to go back.

[@marschlosser4540]

@@MikeKincaid79 Might want to wait till Fall. It's going to be above average for this time of year, up to 100F for a few days of dry heat and I love it. That little maple is going to be fantastic standing against the green and flowers. I hope it turns into a natural bonsai as many Japanese maples do.

[@davewarhitz677]

Hey there, my buddy got me some red maple seeds take from a tree this spring. Wich method of preparing them will give me mlst guaranteed seedlings. Do i still put them in the fridge, if yes till next spring. Thx in advance

[@MikeKincaid79]

If they’re Japanese maples then they need to stay on the tree until fully matured. Don’t pick them until fall, when the leaves start falling from the trees

[@hcone56]

Hello Mike. I am writing from Pakistan and I want to let you know I am part of big fan group of yours over here. My post is not related to this video but since this one's the latest, I want to ask you something. Is it possible to root a cutting from a pecan plant/tree using your method? I mean you have been successful with it with a variety of plants so I am very very curious as to how it might go with pecans. I really want to give it a try..??

[@MikeKincaid79]

I'll bet it could be done, although I've never tried it. I'll have to keep my eyes open and look for a pecan tree that I can try that with.

[@hcone56]

Thank you. I hope you do find one soon. Meantime, I'll start off with mine. Fingers crossed!

[@1979Smelly]

Are they prone to aphids as I love crêpe myrtles but they are hard to keep all the creepy crawlers off❤️. Thanks for such an awesome post 🤗

[@MikeKincaid79]

I never get aphids on my maples around here.

[@lobe2032]

I'm in zone 7b in NC , I don't get them either. Where are you?

[@waynecooke9258]

As usual, very well done! Noted you do not really tease the roots once out of the pot and plant. Any benefits from avoiding that ste As always WELL DONE!!! Enjoy your many efforts 👌!!!

[@MikeKincaid79]

Thanks Wayne! I did tease the roots if you watch closely. I think it's in the sped up part. The rhododendrons weren't root bound and could have stayed in the pots another year so they didn't really need to get roughed up.

[@waynecooke9258]

Thanks Mike! I thought you had likely done this. You really are outstanding. Would love to chat with you sometime about plants and things... you are a breath of fresh air!! Blessings abundant!!

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Do you not tamp down your backfill as you layer it in? Is that okay??

[@MikeKincaid79]

It's all ok. You don't want to pack it down too tight.

Two videos in the same week? And it’s a follow up video showing true progression? Is it my birthday or something?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Haha, thanks for your support.

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

I remember the photos of that tree, it is gorgeous! Have you thought about training it to look like a large Bonsai?

[@luckypenny312]

When planted, are they slow growers??

[@MikeKincaid79]

The first couple years while getting established. After that, they take off.

[@WorldTour45]

Is there a reliable place to buy the seeds

[@MikeKincaid79]

Not sure. I think your best bet is to buy a couple small trees and in a few years you'll have all the seeds you want.

[@stevenfrey8034]

Mike, Maybe you could sell some of the seeds to us viewers when the maple gets big, if you're still on KZbin then.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I plan to be here as long as you keep watching. I've gotten a lot of requests for seeds but there just aren't enough to go around and not enough time in the day to collect them all. I think the only fair way to do it is to have a giveaway at some point and a few lucky people will get them. I'll have to put some thought into how that will work so it's fair for everyone.

[@patrickpeters7357]

Japanese maples are an invasive non-native in the US. Please don’t plant them.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I appreciate your input but I think we're a little late on that one. If they weren't originally native, they are now, and there are probably millions planted throughout the US.

[@patrickpeters7357]

@@MikeKincaid79 gotta start somewhere.

[@jfred1924]

That would make a good video, how to use repellent against wild animals eating plants. How and what to spray, from the big box stores to homemade concoctions. I still think you should’ve let the girls run the excavator to dig your holes for the tree and the rhododendrons.🫣🤔🤭 lol

[@MikeKincaid79]

Hahaha, that would be one massive plant hole. I've got a few plans for videos with the equipment, just not sure when I'll get to it. What I really need to do is quit my job and free up more time, lol.
