Japanese Maples: Is this normal? Preparing for winter!
Japanese Maples: Is this normal? Preparing for winter!
Japanese Maples loose their leaves each year as they are deciduous. Losing their leaves is a completely natural process and forms an important part of the trees life cycle. Here I share tips on dealing with the winter months, mainly considering what will happen when they leaf out next spring.
Ideal for beginners or more experienced Japanese Maple growers, in these videos I will show what practical steps I take to keep my Acer trees healthy during a year of gardening!
I hope you will follow me in my adventures with these wonderful trees
This video will help you grow better trees and for those with more experience, who want to improve the autumn colour, health and general quality of their Maples. Colour can also be improved all year by giving trees the right amount of sun.

    • @Japanesemaples

      I actually check them all daily but don’t water unless on the dry side. A given tree probably once every 2-3 days, less for the bigger ones more for trees still in their nursery compost and plastic pots 👍

    Hi Carl. Many thanks for your sharing. I bought a Sangokaku maple from the nursery in the UK at half price three months ago. It’s nearly 2 meters tall and looks vibrant and colorful this autumn. Recently, I noticed dieback on some stems. Should I prune and repot it now, or would it be better to wait until February? I’m concerned that the dieback may spread and lead to bacterial infection in other stems.

    • @Japanesemaples
      @Japanesemaples 16 днів тому

      I would definitely leave until late Feb early spring. Die back wont spread as such as it will go back to a leaf node. It’s tender new growth that has not hardened off. As the tree goes dormant and the wether gets wetter cutting stems will make things worse in my opinion 👍

    My Japanese maple started losing many of its leaves a few weeks ago. The weird thing is, I live in Southeast Asia, where the tropical season lasts all year without winter or fall. I’m not sure why this is happening; I bought it three months ago, and the leaves were vibrant red.

    Great videos! What do you recommend for a sun tolerant Japanese maple that has very bright red leaves at its peak (rather than purple or green) and grows upward rather than out (in a pot or out of a pot) and gets no taller than 10-12 feet in its lifetime? We have a corner in our tiny urban yard and I am dying to out a Japanese maple in but I don't want it to take up too much horizontal space so that we still maintain our yard!

    Interesting video and I enjoyed it. I only have a bloodgood still in leaf. Everything else (26 maples ) have dropped . All are in pots and quite young plants. Some are quite whippy and all over the place. Do you prune in winter to tidy the growth and get a more attractive shape. Or just wait and cut much thicker branches when they are much older. I am concerned about trees bleeding and getting a more natural balanced shape. Well done excellent work with your videos.

    • @Japanesemaples
      @Japanesemaples 19 днів тому

      Hi and glad you enjoy the content. I choose to prune very little but would do this in March in the UK while the trees are still dormant. In this way you can see the shape better out of leaf and the spring growth spurt will help heal the trees. I would not cut them back more than around 20% of their size in one season so a little prune each year is better. I also think careful selection of a cultivar with the right growth rate and habit when purchasing can save a lot of effort in years to come. Carl

    Beautiful! Did you plant all these maples? I am currently starting a Bonsai nursery and would love to get your opinion! I am a huge maple fanatic and have tons of them in my garden. But for the nursery I want to plant loads of mother trees where we can airlayer the tops off to create new trees/clones. From Shishigashira to Seigen. Anyway the field soil is clay, which is always pretty moist, im not scared about the root rot but rather the lack of water intake in summer as we can't water the trees, we planted tons of pines so far and there we are pretty sure they will survive in full sun even if its dry. Most of my Bonsai Maples i keep in full sun as I water them daily in summer, i made the experience that the fall colors are just much more powerful compared to half shade. Due to the lack of Water intake on the nursery im pondering about planting some maples in the half shade. Also i already planted a few to see if they will survive the winter in the field (pretty optimistic). Thanks for your time!

    My Japanese maple tree started turning brown around June and now its leafs are all gone it’s just brunches 😢 I googled and found your channel. We’re located in Southern California which hardly rain and mostly dry in air. What did I do wrong with it? We got it from local nursery and I thought I did everything they told me to do 😢😢 I wanted to see colored 🍁 in fall.

      In hot climates they need a lot of shade but also lots of protection from wind. In Japan they grow under larger trees that offer both!

    I never use that recycled compost! People throw all sorts of garden waste out for recycling, not all of it disease or chemical free! I’ve had bindweed in my pots from using it in the past and although not used these days, Glyphosate residue!

    I want to ask about your clay pots, do they crack or break in winter if there is a freeze and if you do any protective steps to prevent that, also what is the lowest temperatures that these trees experience in your location. thx.

    • @Japanesemaples
      @Japanesemaples Місяць тому

      Occasionally one breaks but it’s rare. The lowest temperature is -2or-3 and usually short periods of time 👍

    Carl, do you mean not to repot even all leaves changed color and dropped ? I’m planning to repot around November , as they will become dormant .

    • @Japanesemaples
      @Japanesemaples Місяць тому

      Personally I like them to be actively growing soon after repotting, so late Feb early March in the uk. I can’t see the logic of adding compost that will not be used by the tree 👍

      @@Japanesemaplesthanks for your professional comment . As I’m planting other flowers like roses , I’ve learnt that best timing to move them is when they are dormant. Seems it’s different for a tree .
