    Plants that have amazing leaves are one if my garden weaknesses - I just cant resist a plant that looks good without blooms for the majority of the season - so I have crammed as many japanese maples as I can in my Atlanta suburban garden.

    🍁A full tour of my Japanese maple collection
    🍁 how to plant japanese maples
    🍁 tips for japanese maple success

    I’m on a mission to help make gardening easier and more accessible through sharing easy to understand garden content on social media and UA-cam. I’ve been gardening for over a decade and am here to share what I’ve learned from all the plants I’ve previously killed - so maybe you can skip that phase. I live and garden in Atlanta, Georgia - so most of the content I share will be most relevant to gardeners in the southeast. I know gardeners are making the world a better place, so let’s get growing together.

    I like the advice: “$100 tree, $100 hole. When I finally put my potted-up maples in our clay soil, I plan to create nice well-draining beds for them to land in. My favorite not in this video: ‘celebration’, ‘pung kil’, ‘summer gold’.

Maybe Netherlands. Like yours, my Lilleeannes Jewel and Geisha gone wild are no more than one foot short 😂

    Great video, Your enthusiasm for Acers seems very genuine. As is mine. I got Lillyanne’s Jewel this year. You might like Hot Blonde. It was a 1 gallon this spring and has grown about 4 inches in 2 months. Also fast growing for me was Sangyo Kaku. Six feet in 2013 and maybe 22 feet today. Full sun no problemo. Thanks again.

    So many beautiful Japanese Maples! I want to add more to this property. We have just one Coral Bark. At our last 2 houses we had quite a few, but haven't had a chance to add a lot this year... hopefully we can get a couple of these you mentioned!

    have 2 koto No Ito. In fall are shades of green,orange,red & yellow all at the same time. Crazy Beautiful. Your super slow growth rate on some may have something to do with that hard clay.

    I planted a bright purple queen laceleaf maple 2 months ago in Middle georgia, approximately 18 inchs tall when planted , its on a slight slope with very sandy , reddish clay with some white clay (kaolin) mixed in...I actually been watering it 3 times a week, what im getting at its been 2 months and its already twice the size and new branches approx 12 inches of growth, and also 6 inches taller is this uncommon to grow this quick. ( Its planted in the ground not a container)

    I’m also around Atlanta. Where do you get your Japanese Maples from? I am up to 47 and have gotten all of mine from Pikes Nursery. Would love to pick up a Lilian’s Jewel but haven’t found one in person so far.

    • @gardensandchickens
      @gardensandchickens  2 місяці тому

      Mixed border nursery - it’s a road trip, but she’s got hundreds of varieties and beats Pike prices- she’s the nicest lady, doesn’t have a website - she only has a Facebook. Call for an appointment and expect to spend an hour at-least - she’ll show you all around (she’s adorable). She posts photos and prices on Facebook of what’s catching her eye: facebook.com/mixedbordernursery?mibextid=JRoKGi

      I visited Maple Ridge Nursery in Gay, GA this past weekend and bought two 1 gallon trees (Mikawa Yatsabusa and Peve Stanley).
      This nursery and Gay are just south of Fayetteville, GA. They have a good selection of trees in various sizes.
      A drive to this nursery will be well worth your time. Bring plenty of money. There’s some beautiful specimens there. 😉😎
      (If/when you visit, tell the owner that I sent you. 😎)
      Maple Ridge Nursery has a website and they will ship trees throughout the USA (1-3 gallon).

    GREAT VIDEO!!! I caugh the bug because my wife wanted a red J.M.. Now I have over 20 all colors 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Those two brothers know what they are doing.😂 I stopped watching the 10@10 because I couldn’t help myself 😅.
    Anyway she saw the redbud last year with the pink or purple buds but the tree did nothing for me when it leafed out. Last week I came across the sunrise redbuds 🫣. The question for you is have you seen the Flamethrower redbud. 😍😍 If you haven’t I’M SORRY I just did that to you.🤷🏾 I’m waiting for delivery of my flamethrower from Lowe’s now.
