Fantastic video! All my big acers are from Acers R Us, and they have been absolutely spectacular since the day I bought them. It’s such a lovely friendly place to visit. The trees are always in beautiful condition too even in mid summer. The dangerous thing about this nursery is that it is only a 10 minute drive from where I live 😅
Wow those big trees are gorgeous! I really like the yellow toned dissected ones. Its funny that the bloodgoods there all had different shades of leaf colour
I bought a few trees from this establishment, Esk sunset and Oregon sunset. When i got them home, I pulled them out of the pots and 3/4's of the soil and roots were basically dust. There was just a few roots around the area where the drip system pipe had sat. The trees survived but took two years to start developing correctly.
So glad I've found your channel, so much great information. Could you tell me what time of year is best to remove my acer from its pot to saw off some of the root ball?
Great video! Oh dear, think my Osakazuki is in the wrong place 🤦♀. Too near my front window. When's the best time to prune it? Don't think I can move it.
You have provided so much useful information for me. I have an autumn frost sapling and was wondering what kind of sun or shade conditions they might like?
Don’t know that cultivar I’m afraid but here’s what I would do. Start with morning sun and afternoon shade, then once acclimated after a few weeks try more sun. Monitor and learn what’s best for your tree 🌴
Yeah a new video ❤ I love your special nursery videos, that shop really looks so cool. Never tried ordering online … bit scared here 😂 maybe I should give it a try, we have some Acer nurseries that ship here in Germany but still not sure if they grow them on their own I was also at a normal nursery this week and finally found a tree labeled as mikawa yatsubusa, but it was bluish and had very long internodes 😢 so didn’t look like one at all … so in the end up leaving it there because I was not sure if it may have been mislabeled. I also was shocked that most of the trees they had there were the standard netherland trees you can get in every garden center or tool store … overall very disappointing
If you order online from an Acer specialist it is fine here in the Uk. Shame about the nursery, finding a specialist has been really helpful. Thanks for sharing 👍
You are so lucky to be in Germany, Baumschule Hachmann or Baumschule Nielsen have way much bigger collection and rare Acers than here in the UK. They are like the top specialist of Acers/Japanese maples in Germany.
@@remojones the online shop I mentioned is Nielsen yes. Hachmann I never heard of. Unfortunately both are over 400km away 🥲 thank you for the suggestion ♥️so I should try it and order a tree or two from them. One my wish list are still a mikawa yatsubusa, shishigashira, katsura and summer gold… maybe more but I have to live with that limited balcony space 🤣 I even got the weird idea to open up my own nursery, if the money wouldn’t be the problem 😅
@@SandraOhmayer You should watch Acerdorer's video. He shows a lot of videos of growing maples in balcony and the varieties of Acers you can buy in those german nurseries.
@@remojones I know his videos they are pretty cool. Good for him: he lives next to Hamburg (or even in Hamburg?) so next to cool nurseries, I live next to Frankfurt and there are none because my favorite one closes 5 years ago (He retired 😢) in the UK I would love to visit Herons Bonsai that is your advantage (or not depending on where you live in the UK of course) I visited a lot of regional garden centers and nurseries now… most of them have the same stuff from the Netherlands but more expensive than in the tool stores even with the same label (Acer Jewels) and I have been now to like at 8 different ones … only my blood good was from a German nursery and that was from Hornbach (tool store 😓) the nursery I got my dissectums at like 10 years ago didn’t grow them on there own anymore, so sad they even stopped producing flowers and have everything brought in now
I know exactly what you mean, I purchased a tree on line because I could not find this particular tree in my area. It turned up just a twig in a pot , I complained to the supply and was told if it’s still alive there was now recompense. You live and learn..
So how do you know sun requirements? I’m new to this I have harsh dry climate. Denver, Colorado 10” moisture/ yr. 5,300 ft 280 days is of sun. How do you know what is better.

Glad you enjoyed and it’s amazing how acclimatised they are. Oh dear just round the corner 😝 mention I said high if you go again 👍
Very nice video thanks Carl keep up the good work mate thanks 😊
Thank you Phillip, you are always kind enough to comment 👍
Going Northampton centre tomorrow. Video came at a good time! Thanks. Great video! ❤
Nice say high from me 👍 let me know what you get 🤔

Yes it’s amazing how genetic clones can be so different!

@@tomezmaples interesting, I’ve not used a drip system for a prolonged period!
Nice one mate .. you doing a follow up video on the trees you bought 😊
Good idea will look at that, will definitely be showing an update on my trees in full sun too. Some of these trees are changing a lot!
So glad I've found your channel, so much great information.
Could you tell me what time of year is best to remove my acer from its pot to saw off some of the root ball?
Great question and I would say just before it leafs out in the spring. It’s then got the whole season to establish
@Japanesemaples thats great thank you I will have to enlist some helpers to lift him out the pot next year.
It's just over 1 year for me collecting JMs and I already have more than 100 trees. Most of them are variegated.
My goodness! Quite a collection, they really are addictive 👍
@@ydlog5 wow that sounds amazing 🤩

Best time to prune is next spring just before it leafs out 👍

@@Japanesemaples Sorry I meant Autumn Moon.
Should be ok in full sun at least here in the Uk but partial shade if until it’s acclimated 👍
BTW Barthelemy does not offer international shipping
@@jeffsim4290 good point as far as I know nobody does ☹️

What kind of compost did they use in that garden centre with the large acers in big tubs
Honestly not sure but I will find out!
@@Japanesemaples thank you Carl… please do and let me know
Wow, very nice garden center …. They have a nice selection and look healthy. Thanks for the video!!

You certainly do, I’ve learnt so many things from mistakes I’ve made, I suppose I’m just trying to help people avoid the same mistakes 👍
@@jjj7665 Mraples trees are shipped meticulously and in good condition.
