[@fulwoodphantom]

Can't believe you did a video of twigs!

[@motong7448]

Thank you it is very informative about Japanese maple .

[@jamesshotbolt1005]

I have recently started growing JM's. I made a short video on my YT channel showing my first Acer Palmatum cuttings I took in late March. I have 12 of them that made it through the summer. I have a few other varieties now taken a few days ago also which I showed at the end. Your JM's look wonderful, all mine are this years cuttings apart from a Sycamore Maple my Dad gave me as a sapling in 2000 which looks great now. Happy growing :)

[@melz2743]

Beautiful, Shirasawanum are one of my favourites, I have Aureum and Autumn moon. I like the Osakazuki but they grow large. The variegated ones like Ukigomo (floating cloud) are also beautiful. Never have enough. Thanks.

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

That's right, one can never have enough Japanese maples ;)

[@joeb84]

I have a 5 year old Bloodgood. And can't wait for to get as big as yours 🙏🏼

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

Fantastic, it is a beautiful tree. Especially in autumn when looking through the leaves towards the sun - the color is amazing. For your reference, we planted our Bloodgood maple 5 or 6 years ago. It was a larger nursery tree, but by far not as large as it is today. It has grown quite fast and I'm sure yours will too :)

[@joeb84]

@@OurJapaneseGardenEscape Brilliant thank you and love the channel. 🙏🏼

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

@@joeb84 Thank you so much, very much appreciated :)

[@hunter9445]

Very beautiful

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

Thank you!

[@Cpicky]

Just recently subscribed and am enjoying the channel. Where is this garden located?

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

Thank you so much and welcome to our channel! The garden is located in the South East of Austria, in a climate zone 6. Enjoy the videos :)

[@fitnesspinnacle4396]

Hi I’ve just bought a Acer palmatum ‘going green’ and was wondering if you have one or a video on one, can’t find any on KZbin

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

I know the cultivar, but don't have one either I'm afraid. I have never even seen it in a shop.

[@bee_marya]

I'm just starting my Japaneze garden journey. Thank you so much for such beautiful video! I'm planning to purchase my first Maple this fall but I'm concerned if any of Japaneze Maples invasive? 🍁

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

Thank you. Fantastic that you are starting your own Japanese garden. No, maples are not invasive.

[@brendancahill3376]

Great collections of Japanese Maples jn this garden ,but a pity it was not shown in the Spring or Autumn when these Maples are at their best.

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

There are several videos on my channel where you can see the maples with foliage like for example this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWavoX9srq6InKs. You can also have a look at the garden tour videos :)

[@claude16110]

thank you very much for including the names of the Japanese maples, it's great your garden is very pretty, my garden is also on KZbin keywords (Pranzac Roudeau Claude) with my horses! cordially Claude, La Rochefoucauld France.

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

Thank you so much. Sure, we'll check it out!

[@MuriloCRuy]

Wonderful plant, congratulations. I'm trying to find some seeds of the Acer sango kaku, have you ever seeing seeds of it available for sale ?

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

Thank you. I have not been looking for seeds, since all our maples, except for the Mikasa yama, are nursery grown plants. However, I have seen in the past that maple seeds are available on Amazon. Hope you will find your seeds!

[@MuriloCRuy]

@@OurJapaneseGardenEscape Thanks, I will keep looking. I found just one citation about sango kaku seeds, in a forum from 10 years ago, some guy from UK collected seeds from a sango kaku tree.

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

@@MuriloCRuy You could maybe also search for coral bark maple seeds (a more common name for this maple). Otherwise you could look for a nursery grown maple. The sango kaku maple should be fairly easy to find in Europe, UK and the USA.

[@MuriloCRuy]

@@OurJapaneseGardenEscape I Will try that, thanks for the advice. Seems that is going to be a long journey 😂, but I got some time, let see.

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

@@MuriloCRuy In case you are based in the EU, I have an idea :) You can contact me under [e-mail] or DM me on my Instagram

[@ХусанбойИсмоилов-х6р]

❤ Super ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@wictorsson]

Hello ,Next year i would like to buy a lot of seed from your palmatum maples. Preferably from the one generic palmatum at 6:10. Would you sell to me? I source seed from different places in Europe to use as rootstock.

[@OurJapaneseGardenEscape]

Hi, yes, sure it is possible. Not every maple develops a lot of seeds though. The one at 06:10 only had a few seeds this year. However, we have another palmatum that has more seeds (not shown in this video). Also the Bloodgood and O Sakazuki maples have loads of seeds. Please just DM me on [e-mail] or on Instagram.
