How To Stake A Japanese Maple - JAPANESE MAPLES
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- In today's video, we discuss the best practices for staking Japanese maples, recommending early spring as the ideal time due to the sap-filled, flexible foliage. The video covers various staking tools, from professional nursery guns to simple bamboo canes and twist ties. Staking can help shape the tree and accelerate its growth, particularly for lace leaf varieties or those aiming for a taller form. While staking is not always necessary, it can enhance the tree's appearance and growth rate. The video also emphasizes checking stakes regularly to avoid damage and notes that staked trees should be monitored until their summer growth hardens. Additionally, Japanese maples, like Acer palmatum 'Chika' or 'Bloodgood', can benefit from staking to achieve desired shapes, though their natural, less symmetrical forms are also valued. The guide encourages flexibility and creativity in staking to suit personal garden aesthetics.

Velcro bands are great for this. Cut to size and won’t cut into trunk in windy areas. You can get it for less than $5 at big box stores.
Thank you!! I did not realize it was better to stake in spring verses the summer! MRMAPLE GIFTCARD
Great info, thanks! MrMaple Podcast
I asked a few months ago, and you delivered!! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for the information. I'm new to Japanese Maples and appreciate all the advice I can get. Mr. Maple girt card.
Appreciate this video, as I was wondering if I should stake my newly purchased Japanese maple from none other than Mr maple. Thanks again 😁
Great information ❤️👋
I’m glad to see I I’m doing this right thank you.
Thanks Matt!
Going to try this on my Ryusen
A specific use case for staking that just came up for me was planting a 1 Gallon XL Sango Kaku that I got from MrMaple. It was a great size (around 5 ft tall) with great foliage which I think makes it an incredible value but but being a novice gardener I didnt account for how top heavy it was with the entire rootball being the size of the 1 gallon pot. The first night I planted it a storm came and blew it over so the next day I staked it up and now it looks pretty solid. Thanks for all the super informative videos MrMaple and team!
Thank you 🙏
Great info! MRMAPLE GIFTCARD!
OMG MATT THANK YOU I was looking at some of mine yesterday that have broken or slide down and I was stressing about this very issue!! Now I feel confident and will tackle the task!!! Thank you MrMaple love learning from y'all. Keep up the amazing work best company EVER 👍👍🍁🔥🔥
Very informative!!! Thank you so much 🙏
I dig Mr. Maple!! 🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁
Wow this is awesome. Now I want these trees 😂😂. Do you only stake the new growth in the weeping trees?
Yes we do
Thank you! I went to stake my tree and accidentally broke off one of the tender new buds. Will a new bud form where it broke off?
Awesome video and totally what I wanted to know...😊😊. Mrmaple gift card 😊
Thanks for all of the information. What is the beautiful large green cultivar on the left side of the screen?
You can even use elastic bands formed into a simple loop too!
Will the metal twist ties cut into the trunk as it grows? I prefer using the coated twist ties.
Yes we do mention that it can so don’t make it tight and check it after a few months to see if it’s ready to remove
Mrmaple gift card. Great video!
I worry about pushing the stake through a main root. I’m about to stake a ‘Dragon Master’ that I staked in the pot and now is going to be put into a larger container. MRMAPLE GIFTCARD
Mr maple gift card. Thanks for all the great advice!
My new Golden Falls was just delivered (6/23), and I want to stake it. Do you recommend trimming any of the lower beaches or leaves? I appreciate your input.
I leave them for character myself
Thanks for the video. I have a question regarding lace leaf. My plant is from the nursery about 2 months in the ground with an upright stake. Someone told me I have to remove that and do 45 degree angles so as to strengthen the stem otherwise it will not be able to support the branches above
I don’t believe that to be true myself
Very informative and much appreciated. Would definitely like to add to my collection and increase height to some of the weeping varieties I already have.
Mr. Maple 100 gift card thank you for sharing your videos God bless
Thanks for making the video. I needed to know this because I have baby uprights Acers from you.
Asymmetry is characteristic of Japanese landscaping.
Mr maple podcast 🔥
Will an Orangeola Japanese maple slowly mound up over the years and get taller or do they need staking to increase the height of the tree? They seem to have very pendulus branches.
They will be faster with staking but they will mound up slower if unstaked
@@MrMapleShow Ok thanks for your reply, I may consider doing that to my maple.
Can you show us how they give the S shape or twists in the leader please? Would love a gift card!
Stake a leader up but leave some length at the end to hang down naturally. That leader will become lignified enough to hold that position mostly unsupported, probably by the end of the second flush of growth towards the end of fall. If not keep it staked until the following spring. When the next new flush of growth starts, move the stake over and then stake up the next length up in a different position. That is how I do it anyway, hopefully that makes sense?!
@@TheCattwooduk Thanks
Great timing on this video, as I just purchased my first maples from you, and this will be my first time growing maples! How would staking be different when the tree is on a high graft? The root stock is already hardened while the scion is still flexible. I'm hesitant to manipulate the stock plant too much. Thanks!

Same principle as the crimson queen in this video
This was simple and informative!

How deep in the pot would you put the stake? Down to the bottom? Would the stake damage the roots of the maple?
I go all the way to the bottom, one bamboo cane isn't going to damage enough roots to an extent to really hurt the plant. Also this time of year root growth is fast so it will replace the few roots you cut through.
I go all the way to keep the structure
I'm looking how to stake a larger Japanese Maple.When it rains in the valley, the maples leaves and branches almost touch the ground.I would rather have my tree supported than broken.What do I do?
Stake now in spring while they are flexible. I’ve use a metal tent frame before for a very long stake. Use the same method if it’s bendable
@MrMapleShow Thank you so much for the suggestion. Is it a frame like that to support all sides?
Ineed more maples gor aPNW garden and really need a Mr. Maple gift card.
What kind of Japanese maple has leaves stay yellow year round ? Thanks
# Japanese maples!!!!!!! God bless!!!!!! Have a great day!!!!!!!
great content...mrmaple gift card
Should I stake a Tamukeyama?
I just got a 3 gallon from you, and the branches are in the shape of the box and are stuck that way. When the tree leaves out will the branches flair out or should i stake them?
They straighten out again
Mrmaple giftcard :)
Just got a Ryusen from you guys that is a great size. Is like to stake it like the 2nd example on this video but the leader is already hardened off in a weeping form half way up. Since it’s still young it is pliable so I can stake It without breaking it. My question is - will this section eventually harden in the vertical form or will it revert back to arching once I remove the stake?
They are more flexible in spring but you can also just take a small branch up and it will continue
Once it’s hardened off it’s fine to remove the stake

I have a mature Japanese maple tree that has almost completely bent over. What, if anything, can I do to correct the bend and bring it up straight?
Start a new leader is it
Once it’s harder off to older growth it won’t straiten up again
Ok that's what I thought. Thank you 👍
