- Japanese Maples: Secrets of selection and care in full sun. Dry damaged bunt leaves can be a big issue for Acers!
This video contains a selection of Japanese maples that grow in full sun, as well as a host of information on how to care for them! Acers have evolved to grow in the shade of other tree, but many are able to tolerate direct sunlight without burning their leaves. There are limits of course, but these all work well in my garden!
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.

So glad I found this channel, it’s re sparked my love for the Japanese Acer! I did see your video about ‘taylor’ being finicky to do well, mine was doing quite well as a younger tree until one day of decent sun here in the south west gave it leaf burn right away haha! Moved into a spot that gets maybe an hour or two of sun in the morning and then full shade and it’s loving it!
Thanks for posting and it’s a great story of taking action and learning what each tree likes 👍 Glad your enjoying the channel 🥰
Lots of great tips Carl! Looks like you got some unusual new species there. I have just got a 'Black Lace' from the nursery which I've not seen before. It says its part shade, so I'm going to follow your advice and try to acclimatize it
Thanks and I’m always on the lookout for new cultivars! Thanks for posting and enjoy your new tree 👍
Thank you,I find your Channel very informative and so helpful.you provide the perfect tip’s regarding the upkeep of these wonderful plants.
Thanks and really kind of you to let me know 👍
Very useful video thanks Carl keep up the good work mate thanks
Pleasure to do them if it’s helping thanks! 🙏
Going thru heatwaves over here. Got all mine in shade plus 2 layers bug netting and seems be doing great during my busy work schedule and during the mid 90"s in the state of Kentucky usa. Water once a day..in the evening everyday. If it's going to be this hot this summer I may end up placing a drip Tray underneath all my maples. Most are expensive bonsai I've created over past 10yrs. Have them all together.
Hottest I’ve seen maple trees is 122 degrees in a poly tunnel. With no direct sun or wind they were doing well. Sounds like you have a great system 👍
How many japanese maples do you have in your collection now??
I'm looking for 2 of them....acer palmatums Mila and Katja so if you come across either or both can you let me know please?
Love your channel by the way, Carl!!!!
I think it’s about 75 at last count. Yes I will keep an eye out 👍
Do you find that your terra cotta pots get hotter than standard nursery pots? And would you recommend clay over plastic to allow complete dry-out?
I prefer clay as they evaporate water, cooling the trees roots in the summer. In the spring they help get rid of excess water. The nursery plastic pots work with the very free draining compost they use, but I prefer something more substantial so clay works. Thx for posting 👍
Great video, thanks!
What are your thoughts on compost?
I have been trying different types but find some ericaceous is very fibrous, almost stringy and drains straight away!
John Innis 2&3 mixed together was recommended, it's heavy and loamy so I have been trying to mix this with the lighter ericaceous to get better drainage.
Do you have any tips on soil/ compost and have you experimented with blending?
I prefer a mix of John Innes no 3 and ericaceous as the best of both worlds 👍
My emperor isn't doing very good it was 110 degrees for every for an entire week with no rain
Oh wow that’s hot! Have you watered the tree?
