In the Jake Mayes Japanese Memorial Garden, I developed the "Ghost Yard"! I started with MrMaple, 1)Amber Ghost, 2) First Ghost, 3)Sister Ghost 4) Grandma Ghost 5) Purple Ghost 6) Ghost Dancer 7)Phantom Flame + 4 Reticulated Maples in Ghost yard 8) Amagi shigure 9) Blond Beauty 10)Shigitatsu sawa 11) Firefly. After watching this great video I now need to get 1) Martha's Ghost, 2)Uncle Ghost 3) Baby Ghost and 4) Dark Ghost to complete the Ghost Yard collection. Maybe they'll all be available from MrMaple by Halloween?

[@MrMapleShow]

All will be back for sure

[@MapleWorld]

Here in the UK, Baby Ghost and Purple Ghost are incredibly rare. I've never seen Martha Ghost here. Would love to get my hands on any of them and ramp up production.

[@MapleManiac]

Would love the entire series of Mikawa types and ones in the works as well. I have seen the variegated mikawas video and it got me really excited

[@leightodd7335]

I love to see you do a video on Crispin Silva's story as a immigrant and how he became a plant developer and his introductions!

[@cindyl3916]

I have to give Nebula a shout out. I’ve only had her since May/June and she’s putting out incredible unique peachy colored new growth. Everyday they just get more amazing in color. I adore her. Celebration is right along with her. ❤️#japanesemaples Thank you gentlemen!

[@nickpaynter8325]

Awesome video! I will be adding the purple and amber ghost maples to my growing collection!

[@carm787]

Uncle ghost! Can't wait till you have it back in stock

[@francesrule5572]

Baby, First, Sister, Uncle, Grandma, Purple, Amber… I can only think of the 7 we had in our Oklahoma Maple Garden!!!… and I didn’t get any help from Bryan…lol I’m sooooo excited for this video.. The ghost series is my absolute factory.

[@user-qq7tw1bl7o]

This presentation compels me to create a Japanese Ghost Garden room on my property.

[@sammysworld5485]

Very interesting history on the ghost series… thank you.

[@MrMapleShow]

Thanks check out our Ghost Series podcast also for more

[@RoseTorn411]

SOO APPRECIATE the different pictures both full and upclose of each maple really helps with deciding especially with the full view to see its growth habit when mature.

[@leightodd7335]

This is the first time I've believed Ghost Stories and it didn't scare me. Very interesting!

[@francesrule5572]

Ahh, I missed Dark and Ghost Dancer… I have never heard of Martha Ghost!! Bryan Rule you’ve been holding out on me…lol Great video guys. 👻

[@MapleManiac]

I love y’all doing these videos on different series. Don’t have one…as of yet, as this video will really narrow down and help me decide which to pick up. Killing it again 🔥💯. #japanesemaples #mrmaplecustomerforlife #mrmaplebringstheheat

[@GardenBelle61]

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge on this series. Learning is FUN👩🏻‍🌾🪴🍁

[@graysonschissler6215]

Do you guys have a red weeping laceleafs video? I know there's a green one. If not, that would be my recommendation for the next series. Tamukeyama and crimson queen are what started this addiction for me.

[@MrMapleShow]

Yes we do have a few

[@misirbina16]

I just purchased Purple Ghost in local nursery as you guys don't ship to Canada (please do something about it) . I brought is back home, and curently color is identical to Burgundy Lace JM , which is an older selection, however, there is difference in leaf shape and habit.

[@brandonjohnson2728]

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this video!!! I have always wondered what plants fill this collection and to get it all in a deep dive 🤯 deep dives are my favorite!!! Awesome video guys keep up the amazing work!!! 🍁🍁🎉🎉🔥🔥

[@IcecoldDan26]

I know it wasn't given the ghost name, but Black Hole is probably my favorite reticulated maple released by Talon. #japanesemaples

[@ibrahimabouzeid3270]

I dig MrMaple, great video as usual with a wealth of info. I wish I have the money to buy all of them but I don't so I must include one or 2 of them in my next order

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Love this series ! Thanks #japanesemaples

[@allanlafoe8557]

Excellent video #japanesemaples

[@LinusCello75]

Will some of the smaller leaves slow growing ghosts become more popular with bonsai growers? Speaking of which you should do a cross-over video with Bjorn of Eisei-en bonsai. Maybe you could visit each other’s place (Eisei-en is by Nashville, about 5 hours away)?

[@MrMapleShow]

We hope to! I have a friend who works there also

[@LinusCello75]

Try to also catch Tommy Lee J?

[@treypitchford1516]

I’ve got purple ghost,Amber ghost,dark ghost,celebration,and strawberry spring

[@janecarver9672]

Oh these Ghosts are spectacular. I don't think we have these available in New Zealand. I've certainly never seen them. Now, of course, I want them. If you know a supplier here in New Zealand, please let me know. You asked for my favourites, hard to choose. Amber ghost, Uncle ghost, First ghost. I LOVED this video! Thankyou so much.

[@graysonschissler6215]

I love the ghost series! I LOVE the new ghost series. Firefly is the best! Og ghosts though I prefer Amber ghost. Do you guys work with bloody talons? Only seen it on talons website under his introductions, never anywhere else. It looks like peve starfish with ghost type reticulation and I need it!!!

[@MrMapleShow]

Yes I have it. Just small but will be offering eventually

[@graysonschissler6215]

Awesome! That legitimately made my day. I haven't bought peve starfish yet in hopes I could find bloody talons. I am SO EXCITED to see your facility and hopefully you guys at the open house!

[@robertprior2228]

Georgia here. I own grandmas ghost. She's still settling in. Beautiful 🌳

[@josh.kaptur]

Again, really really loving these “series” or groupings. It helps a beginning maple collector to have some groups (by feature) in mind so we can try to have representation. Speaking of which, I’d suggest a “collector’s series” - 12 types of maples “order one from each type” and then list 3-5 popular choices within each type. Or maybe the “beginners series” which would be the first 5 maples you should own. Or “Matt’s mafia” and “Tim’s team” where you each have to pick only 5-10 maples to own.

[@Midnight_Gardener]

As soon as I saw “MapleCollector’s” videos on KZbin, I bought Uncle and Amber. The first maple I ever bought was a “peaches and cream”, and it got the obsessive maple ball rolling. Although… peaches and cream isn’t the best for being tough, heat tolerant, or anything-tolerant honestly. Probably why it’s almost never talked about lol

[@MrMapleShow]

I love Peaches & Cream we have a nice size one that is 20 years old. I just can’t keep it on stock but it’s a good plant imo. Thanks for watching Aaron has a good channel too!

[@graysonschissler6215]

Hmm I agree and disagree with what you said about peaches and cream. I got a very cheap 3 gallon with beautiful roots but the leaves were a little burnt. I brought it home and did a root over rock project and defoliated all of the burnt leaves. It's doing very well for me now even given the stress. All of my (good) local nurseries carry peaches and cream though. Results seem all over the place. There's a place near me with beautiful 5 gallons in full sun doing great.. Mine doesn't like the sun at all. It also lost it's reticulation earlier than all the others in my collection..

[@MrMapleShow]

@@graysonschissler6215 it’s also mixed up in the trade some. Check out our video on it. It’s older so not the best video but it’s been a good plant for me

[@graysonschissler6215]

@@MrMapleShow Ive enjoyed that video several times including when I was standing in front of it about to purchase it haha (thank you). I could believe it gets mixed up in the trade though. Its weird, the 5 gallons in full sun at the nursery I mentioned are gorgeous and held their reticulation. 3 other places have peaches and cream under shade cloth and there is some varying leaf burn with the reticulation fading. Another place had some burnt twigs that were labeled peaches and cream in full sun.. Obviously this could come down to care or lack of, but these are all places I buy from regularly and are reputable.. Don't know what to make of it. I do love mine. I have the roots wrapped around a 10lb piece of quartz I dug up. My plan is to slowly remove dirt over time until the whole thing is exposed.

[@michellestehle2000]

Yeah Uncle too that’s lovely

[@matthewkizziahcuzia...gott9632]

If you collected a poster, full of leaves. One or two of each variety. With names for each. I would buy one and would like it signed by you guys. Might be a lot of leaves.

[@meadowmorph3291]

First Ghost... hehe, I'm new. I got First Ghost this spring.

[@michellestehle2000]

Martha Ghost is really beautiful and somehow different. I knew there was a Martha don’t know where I gained that knowledge from past vid of y’all’s r one of the books I’ve read . I Neeeed a Martha! I’ve got First gh Purple and Amber & Dark ghost

I just picked up "Baby Ghost" as my first of the "Ghost" series. I will be adding the rest at some point to my collection of trees.

[@MrMapleShow]

Thanks so much!

[@ignatiuslo9528]

how do you get early morning sun without afternoon sun? do you bring the plant back into shade?

[@MrMapleShow]

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. It’s a good to site one so around 3 pm shade is provided if possible

[@MapleWorld]

First non-Ghost series ghost? I was thinking it could be either Blonde Beauty, Black Hole or Dark Knight but there's something in the back of my mind telling me it had a Japanese name, so I'm going with Mikazuki.

[@MrMapleShow]

Mikazuki is correct! ;)

i have uncle ghost. i also have acer p. beni gaza. I think i can get a few more ghost ones from my local farmers market. but so far im just trying to figure out how to keep it alive. they are in pots, the plant is only about 1.5 feet tall. i bring them in when it gets below 48 or so. right now the ghost is turning a bit white on the leaves and im trying to figure out why

[@MrMapleShow]

They need sunlight so gradually get them back in. If they are super white they need to light

[@gabronijabroni]

Are any in this series for containers? O

[@MrMapleShow]

Mikawa family looks good but we do have several videos on maples for pots
