You have some of the most spectacular maples, especially in the south! I would love to know your secret weapon you’re using to fight off Phyllosticta and Anthracnose fungal diseases. I’m a few miles west of you in Alabama and the humidity is bringing the spots pretty bad. Any tips?
Thanks for your comment! I do have fungal issues on many of them, on top of spider mites and Japanese beetles. And this sudden warm weather is causing wrecks on many of them, leaves are changing colors and dropping. So no super powers here. Most of the maples are under a tree canopy which helps but I’m not doing anything special!
How many Japanese maples do you have in your collection? They are beautiful. I’ve only been collecting 2yrs now. This week I’ve been repotting some of mine. This week in Central NC my Amagi Shigure is really showing off with the dark green veining on the pink reticulated leaves.
@@Maplesinthegarden Wow 250! I love it!!! I think I’m between 40 to 50 maples. I have almost completed the Ghost Series with missing only Sister Ghost and Martha Ghost. I did get a Snow Kitten and so far it looks great. I feel I need to baby that one a bit.
New subscriber here, 🤩 wow your Hana Matoi is electric!! What light conditions made it this way? I saw one last week amongst other many weeping reds at a local nursery and it was so boring and disappointing, forgettable light green and dull pink, low graft but very mature in a 15g container - I couldn’t stomach paying $200 for it (on sale from $300) - but seeing yours makes me think about it again, maybe in the fall when it’s 1/2 price I’ll swoop it up if it’s still there, sadly because of budget and upcoming summer heat I think I’m done buying trees this spring 😢
@@Maplesinthegarden 😳 oops I meant Hana Matoi! Don’t know why I typed Manyo, my cat got me up way too early - anyway, so what light conditions does yours receive? Thank-you!
Hana Matoi has kept its colors longer than usual this year! It seems to like the dappled shade it gets all day. No direct sun. I’ve seen folks growing it in full sun though.
I am drawn to variegation, too. What was the name of the first tree you showed? Green with heavy variegation. Very impressive, and you said it holds that variegation. ❤

Do you agree that the japonicums have some of the best long lasting color on the JM?
Japonicums are the best for Fall color!
Nice tour. Yup that’s exactly what I do when I see spiders in my yard… just keep walking. They’re everywhere, you got to love them 😊
After all, they are beneficial!
Where did you buy your Japanese maples? They are healthy and have many varieties.🙏🙏
Thanks! I got them from many different places, some local nurseries and many from online sellers like MrMaple, maplestone, etc.

Amagi Shigure is really showing off with the dark green veining on the pink reticulated leaves.
I have about 250 varieties give or take.
Amagi Shigure is such a neat variety! That one and Firefly are fantastic.

It’s an addiction! Lol
My first Snow kitten died but I gave in and got another one. It’s stunning , but finicky.
Keep collecting!
Hermoso jardín párese un bosque encantado se ve k se respira mucha paz
Muchas gracias! Es mi terapia y me desconecta de todo 👍

Did you see my Manyo in this video? I don’t think I captured it on this one? I love the variety. But right now it’s variegated with a two tone green.

@@Maplesinthegarden it is stunning, I know you must really enjoy it - Thank-you!
Your maples are always perfect! I love the tours you make and show us 🥰 Nice to see what I can expect from my small maples at home 😂
Thank you so much. Some of them are far from perfect lol glad you enjoyed the videos!
why are they all in pots? do you bring them inside in winter ?
Mostly because I collect so many and I don’t have room to put them in the ground!
Have you ever counted how many maples there are in your garden?😊
I have over 250!
I am drawn to variegation, too. What was the name of the first tree you showed? Green with heavy variegation. Very impressive, and you said it holds that variegation. ❤
Yes! It’s very consistent. The name is ‘Kumoi nishiki’
Awesome! Thank you@@Maplesinthegarden
@@Maplesinthegarden That one I must find🩷
