Great video jason. I have found that alot people dont consider the roots when putting Japanese maples in full sun all day every day. If the tree has a healthy root system full of fine fibrous roots then its more than likely will be able to handle full sun and the warm wind if supplied with water when needed. The roots are then able to keep the moisture with in the leaves. Obviously if it gets to hot then some shade will be needed but most importantly healthy roots leads to healthy leafs throughout the growing season. I have also found that a tree can also push larger leaves after defoliating and i only really use the concept to increase ramification, increasing the bud selection for the next season that would decrease leaf size naturally (doesnt work for all species of trees 😅) But i really enjoyed this video and feel that alot of people can benefit from what has been shown 👍

Thanks for this great detailed info and response Callan 👍

[@AlexBraunton]

A very informative and relaxing video Jason. Thank you. I can't wait to see this tree bounce back

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

I will have to do an update in a month. 👍 It better not die on me now 😂😂😂

Lovely round pot. And I like seeing another view of your yard.

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thank you Mary 🙏 The benefit of round pots is you don’t have to choose a front 😁

[@jaherlar]

[@JaneWebberley]

Thank you Jason for this helpful video. I have never had great success with maples for this very reason, but will try again 🤞

Good stuff! I use shade cloth, I’m gone 13hrs a day for work and it’s been SUPER HELPFUL. But leaf scorching is still something I have to deal with

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thanks. I don’t really have the option to use a shade cloth, but have more shaded spots around the garden - so move the trees accordingly 👍

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

You won me with the first 40 seconds 10/10 Jason :)

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thank you Xav 🙏

[@a.dkutzbarber]

I had a little bit of this recently on my maple but think it’s bouncing back luckily 🤞🏽Thanks for the video

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

This one seems to be prone to it. I had to fully defoliate it about three years ago.

[@NoQuarter01]

What type of Acer is the one you defoliated? I love the color and the trunk is just awesome. Way to go

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

This is a Deshojo

[@sueb1317]

Thank you so much for this great video. I've used this technique before, but learned a lot about the tree physiology - extremely helpful since I have other species that are prone to scorching. Do you notice any correlation with leaf scorch and trees re-potted the same spring?

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thanks Sue. To be honest I mostly have the issue with this tree - it’s my smallest red tree - both of which can make it more susceptible. This is the second time it has undergone a full defoliation. With my other trees I tend to just cut off the largest, disproportionate looking leaves. Root pruning will affect the rate of water uptake until the roots heal, so can have an impact and possibly increase likelihood of leaf scorch. It is best to put trees in a shaded spot immediately after repotting and root work while they recover.

[@fletcherlewis]

Those leaves were like crisps! I had the same issue on a couple I've planted from pot to open ground .Do you think its the changeable weather?

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

This one seems quite sensitive to it.

[@howardmckeown7187]

Hi Jason, great video, as usual, beginner, never defoliated, if you defoliate and get a second flush of smaller leaves, does it make any difference to the size of next year's leaves? Thanks

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Thank you Howard. It affects only this years leaves which will drop in autumn. Next year’s first flush of leaves will be regular size again.

[@howardmckeown7187]

@@TheBonsaiGardenThanks Jason, speedy reply, 👍

[@user-OMF]

Too late to do that now in the uk? Would you still have enough time for a second flush and harden ?

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

This was done first week of June. Should be plenty of time.

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

👍👍👍

[@aaronasissoard1098]

I have I think a blood good and it doesn’t seem to like any direct sunlight whatsoever I have it growing under a large tree and still gets leaves drying out

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Maples are under-story trees, being smaller than many other trees so are used to growing in the dappled shade beneath larger trees. We need to be aware of this in their care and avoid prolonged strong sunlight, and also strong breezes which also contribute to evaporation.

[@Rob1337]

Few of mine got hit bad this year as we had so much wind :(
