[@MDA-rs4uf]

When y'all say snake bark,,,is it Davidii or rufinerve???? looks like rufinerve ,,,, which struggles for me here in GA...I don't think it likes our heat . I've killed 2 ....m

[@bruceburton1834]

What a special place. Just cannot believe the sizes of some these Japanese maples. It reminds one to give them room between each other. I will be watching this video multiple times. Thank you for sharing this special place with us today.

[@MrMapleShow]

We agree!

[@JasonVertrees-h5c]

This gave me a flashback I didn’t know I needed. Very nice!

[@tylerevans9291]

Wow, legendary garden!

[@MrMapleShow]

Thanks!

[@MapleWorld]

What an amazing place! Do you know roughly how many acres of land this garden is?

[@corbinwildcatt2274]

I would say it was 1 to 2 acres of land!

[@MapleWorld]

@@corbinwildcatt2274 Thanks Corbin. 👍

[@rjayt88]

Thanks for the great tour! I wonder if they'll let you take another one at the peak time in autumn.

[@MrMapleShow]

The house sold and it requires us flying out film crew to Oregon. Not likely but maybe one day

[@chuckciali2027]

Absolutely love love you two. Listened to I believe all your shows! J.D. Vertrees book I’ve had since 90s. Did you say Oregon?

[@MrMapleShow]

Awesome thanks for watching!

[@urchinsushi2041]

Jawdroppingly beautiful tour!! My favorite was Esk Sunset - would love to know Matt and Tim’s favorites in Mr. Vertrees garden 🙏

[@MrMapleShow]

Good choice!

[@urchinsushi2041]

@@MrMapleShow are you offering Esk Sunset today?? 🙏shh I won’t tell anyone!!

[@MrMapleShow]

@@urchinsushi2041 we actually just had it in stock last week. We will again but they are popular. You can get notified by email under the Esk sunset page on MrMaple.com

[@urchinsushi2041]

@@MrMapleShow yes I noticed it was restocked because I did get notified but I’m actually in Japan right now on holiday for a couple of weeks with my family so I’m 12 hrs ahead and missed it!! 🥲 It’s been REALLY hot here (feels like temperature above 100s), so not very good for visiting gardens or the monkey forest unfortunately. Luckily my husband can speak a fair bit of Japanese though and we are still having a great time - I’ll sign up to get notified again!!

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Amazing walkthrough! What tree is that at 32:40? Great episode guys

[@MrMapleShow]

Aratama

[@Chris-oq6kn]

@@MrMapleShow thanks! That is some tree! The colors are amazing

[@joebruhin2098]

Many Thanks...which snake bark is the one with the seeds hanging down?

[@MrMapleShow]

Hatsuyuki

[@greylion629]

Incredible, thanks for the history lesson.

[@MrMapleShow]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

[@finnllow]

Amazing tour! Do you know what the tree is that starts showing at about the 14:04 mark? It kinda looks dark red and white in the video. I took screen shots but can’t post here, so might try FB if we can’t figure it out here. Thanks!

[@MrMapleShow]

Esk Sunset

[@finnllow]

@@MrMapleShow Thank You! Now it makes sense why this one sells out so fast! Adding my name to the notify list… ✌️

[@franciscoespinoza5912]

Aratama is in my notebook, for future orders.

[@corbinwildcatt2274]

It is one of my favorite dwarfs now!

[@lorenzomonti4853]

Really Amazing Unbelievable

[@MSNYQ]

Which tree is at 32:45? Thanks

[@MrMapleShow]

Acer palmatum ‘Aratama’

[@Menamejosh]

Anyone know what the tree with the white flowers with purplish red ring is at 34:19

[@MrMapleShow]

Rhododendron

[@rosemarienin9823]

They are all so well pruned. Not my style at all. Part of the charm of these trees is the structure of the wood. (As in bonsai) and I tend to choose them not just for their leaves, buy their trunks as well. What a wonderful place!

[@MrMapleShow]

I agree. One of the rules of this garden when I was purchased was to keep the trees. Many have been cut back to keep them in this garden. We discuss it at the top of the video

[@troygarton531]

Did you buy the property?

[@MrMapleShow]

We didn’t but it is selling. 2 million

[@delldirks3726]

Adds during the intro? Jez 🤦

[@MrMapleShow]

Yes KZbin does that on almost everything
