    They do fantastic in soil with plenty and you can not give them too much of organic matter and leaf mold a bit of afternoon shading them from blistering hot sun .

    loved the fountain maple idea. i collected dozens of japanese mapleseeds in mountstewart garden, stuffed them in my barbour pockets. kept them in damp sand in the fridge, planted them in trays the following spring in a gently heated greenhhouse and waited. none of them sprouted. Out for a walk oneday, reached into my barbour pocket andd was surprised to find a bunch of sprouting acer palmatums. several of them grew into beautiful trees. btw i had consistent successair layering ozakazuki, my most colourful tree.

    I am currently on my third Acer 'Orange Dream'- all grown in pots. They seem to be quite delicate. Aphids got the first one when it was still small, I can't remember what happened to the second, but it died! The third seemed to be doing ok and I have had it a few years, but now I have some bare branches and stunted leaves. My plants are in a sheltered position, by a fence, and in partial shade. I will persevere though, because I love Japanese acers. Thanks for sensible advice!

    Acers can be difficult, wind is a killer, but your information is correct. I planted lovely acers in a limestone area of often brutal weather. We get wind and rain from Morecambe Bay, the Pennines and Cumbrian fells, and the ''beast from the East' as well as scorching sun. I have to hide small plants under the Box hedges until now, or they'll just die. Thank you John.

    Hi John. I have a lot of small (about 8" tall) Japanese maples that I want to plant out for about 2 to 3 years before digging them up and potting them in big pots for selling. I already grow loads in pots but I'm trying this technique as they grow far more rapidly in the ground. What spacing should I use? I don't want too much root entanglement, so would be grateful for your advice. Many thanks.

Leaf die off in the under layer of branches began last year and now, in the top layers, the leaves are drying out and curling up. I’m so sad to see this tree die. I loved it so much.

    love your video. what do I do if I didn't know for 25 years that I have to trim these down. 25 years ago, I bought 3 japanese maples from home depot on sale for $50 each. it said on the tag they grow to 10 to 12'. It didn't say you had to trim them, so now they are 20 to 25' tall! I thought that was great until I met a pro arborist drunk in a bar and he said you have to trim them yearly to keep them at 10' to 12'. so now what do I do? I don't want to kill them with over trimming, but they are for sure too tall and I would love to have them at 10 to 12' because they're in front of my house. if you want, come to my house, trim my trees and make a video and you will get a million hits, I'm sure I'm not the only one with the problem. even being too tall they are absolutely gorgeous and very, very healthy. btw, I'm in chicago.

If so when is the best time of the year to do so? Once dug up and potted, I plan to trim down the stems/branches during winter to keep it small-ish.

      I find that water ph is generally not an issue if your soil ph is ok. Japanese maples will grow in alkaline soil provided that the soil has enough organic matter. With japanese maples the main thing is to protect them from the wind
