    You should do a “tree/shrub” in a pot video submission for your series on our gardens. Also a Japanese Maple collection one. Someone here said they have over 200! I’d looove to see that!

      Hi! I’m a fan of Japanese maples and I have a collection which can be like 45 maples, less or more depending how much I want to add and change in my limited space. I know here in UA-cam someone called “Maple Nutz” who have more than 400 cultivars and he posted here each variety. Take a look over him.

    I have a Christmas tree in a pot. I bought it three years ago from my supermarket. It was two feet then and just over four now. It has just pushed out small purple cones. It’s gorgeous. It comes onto the patio for winter for me to decorate.

      I love this idea! If we ever screen in our porch I might be taking your wonderful idea (its far too windy to decorate something unprotected here). I always cringe when we cut down our tree, I'd much rather have a live tree that will keep on growing! 💚

      @C NB I live in the uk and our weather is unpredictable. It has blown over a couple of times so I must repot this yr. When I purchased the tree it did come in a pot with roots.

    THANK YOU for helping me throughout the past 7/8 years. Iv watched you everyday for all that time and thumbed up every video befor even watching but love the content you put out. You have no idea how much you have helped me especially when iv suffered with my anxiety. A massive hug from me x x

    Yes Laura, LIFE. 😂 My Christmas tree is still sitting in it's stand on the back deck! I'm glad I'm not the only one who still has a Christmas tree sitting outside in may. I thought I saw some birds making a nest. I need to get it checked over thoroughly before I remove it from the back there. LIFE.

    One of the best aspects about this channel is its honesty. It may seem strange, but I really enjoy it when Laura shows an overgrown shrub that hasn't been pruned in forever because at first I'm inclined to think, "How could they let it get like that?" Then I have to step back and say, "That's life. Not everything can be done even if your job is gardening for UA-cam." Thank you Laura and Aaron for keeping it real. I'm certain it's the main reason why I keep coming back to this channel.

    I have a Japanese Maple in a container on my deck for about 10 years and it keeps doing well. It's tipped over from wind a few times so now I have it tied to the deck railing. I'm a zone 6b so we do get snow and cold. I'm thinking I might start looking this year to take it out of the container and put it in the ground. But it has added such great interest and color on our deck!

    • @JulesFahey

My favorite aha moment was when you shared what you learned about color from your mother: red, yellow, blue & green in a flower bed. I could never figure out what I didn’t like about my plant combinations until you talked about color. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Such a gift you have!

To keep these doing well beyond a few years, it seems we have to “root prune” them which one can find info on from other creators who specialize in maples. For instance s visual learners, UA-cam and its creators are awesome.

    That's a beautiful tree! I have a few red Japanese maples in the ground, and I love them. There is a particular kind of Japanese maple that has green leaves, but in the winter, it's branches turn red. It's so unique to see the red branches in the dreary winter. We have two off those. They are bullet proof! No pests and handle heat, cold, drought, and wet. Our weather has been wild the last 5ish years. It handles it all.

    I planted a dwarf Alberta spruce in a container last year, with no clue what I was doing! Lol! Then here comes Laura with her valuable wisdom that I can utilize to give my tree her best life! You are so full of useful tips…like planting a plant in its pot so it doesn’t receive as much water as others members of the pot may need! This year I’ve planted calabrachoa in the container along with a sweet potato vine and lantana, and wondered about that calabrachoa with its need to dry out between waterings…what a GREAT idea! Thank you Laura, for teaching this old dog new tricks! Happy gardening folks!

    I got an Angel Wings last fall. It’s rated zone 8, and since I’m in pnw zone 8, I’d planned on putting it in a larger pot and keeping it protected from excess cold and moisture. I forgot about it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Luckily it was against the house on the south side so the snow and rain only killed off the top. Was I glad to see new growth coming up in April!

    Laura I love growing Japanese Maples in containers. I have three different varieties in large pots. Such great information you have shared. Always enjoy my visit with you each morning. Douglas has made himself right a home. ❤️ all the kitties when they make an appearance. Thank you and Aaron for such amazing videos. Here’s to a great gardening season.

    I think the flower beds by your kitchen door are my absolute favorite. Such a peaceful spot lush spot to sit and relax or just enjoy the view while your doing dishes.

    Nice to get an in depth lesson on container planting and care for trees and perennials. I always forget to water in the winter as we disconnect the hose because of freezing. Thanks Laura.

    You are so not the only one Laura! I still have two arborvitae‘s in pots on my front porch, because, “life”. 😂❤️

    That’s beautiful, Laura! 🙌
    I have three japanese maples in pots on the north side of our patio and they seam to have done great this winter (Sweden, zon 4). We are planning for a pond area where they will go eventually, but we do enjoy them so much in the meantime. It’s a great way to get double use out of them. And a way to handle ones inabillity to wait for the pond to actually be finished, before one runs out to shop for plants…😅😁

    Hi Laura and Aaron! I do like the maple in that area. The plants you added are pretty, too. Hi Benjamin! It was obvious that Russell wasn't happy with Douglas. LOL! Thank you so much for sharing!

    Good morning! Better late than never. Love the Japanese maple in that pot. You always put plants together that look so pretty. And you have the prettiest blue eyes in this video. Have a good day.

    I love watching your “ plant recipes”
    I think mixed container are so much more interesting than just one thing.
    I had a lovely Japanese lace leaf maple tree that I bought from biltmore gardens in NC. It stayed in a thin plastic pot in my front yard for years as I couldn’t decide where to plant it. It’s now in the ground for a second year right about where the pit lived! lol
    It’s almost doubled in size which is pretty amazing as it’s the type that turns red in Fall & then sheds all its leaves. It’s always my first one to bloom out.
    They are just the best tree. (Maybe I should pot up another!)
    Funnily enough I just planted heucherellas around it this year. I can’t remember the name but they bud out a bright green and turn a deep purple.
    I also used some large leaf ferns. These are all under a larger tree canopy so only gets a few hours of morning sun & only this time of year. I can’t wait to see how full they get by end of summer.
    I may look for some of the other things you planted - but I definitely need things that will thrive in shade.
    Love your channel!
