Hey! Another good start this season! The already colorful autumn maples are beautiful! In the old corner of "Osaka" the Ueno Yama and Kamagata look very good to be the first maples. I hope that compost is not too bad for the other maples that are about to transform their color, you always had very good results and your climate there always accompanies you. Don't worry so much, we wait for the following video with the coloring of almost all remaining. See you soon!
Hi again! Thank you. Hope that I am at my parents this year when also the big Osaka is fully red. Last year I missed the color peak on it. For me it is very interesting to see that the maples in rhodo soil look the best. The other maples I really have to repot before next season. The soil is too bad (peat free and with pH above 6) and I don't expect any good fall colors here. Fingers crossed that the roots don't look too bad.
@@Acerdorer You are right about the compost mix but I still think you are in luck since the roots advance slowly in the maples. It will give you quiet time to do it how you want in the next season. I also trust that you have good results when the cold remains in your area. Apart from this, at the end of September a package came from Hachmann with "Golden Treasure" and "Glamour", I will see what they will do starting in the spring. Now I'm waiting for a package from Esveld with some dwarf maples: Kiyohime, Tama Hime and Chishio Dwarf, excited to see them better from spring. The same thing will happen to you with your "Ariadne" and "Orange Lace" and you will be very excited! Delighted to see video from your parents' garden and some gardening that you keep going for the color. See you soon!
Wow, again more maples for you. Hope they will do well also. My balcony is full enough for a while if all trees survive. In the moment I also cannot bring more maples to my parents garden. Next year I will reappraise the situation again then. Now I am just hoping for some more good fall colors. For sure I will also make a fall video from my parents' garden but I will be there only on the first weekend in Nov. Hope it will not be too late then.
@@Acerdorer I understand your balcony space and everything’s there with full life, congratulations for these awesome views! I hope those maples can arrive well before the leaves fall inside the box and then maybe a short video how they are. It’s a good idea on the date that you are going to be at your parents' house, it will be a good show. Thank you.
Fingers crossed that you will get your maples still with leaves on. When you make a clip I will watch it for sure. Would also be interesting to see your Golden treasure and Glamour. Golden t. is also on my list but I always decided to take another cultivar when I was at Hachmann. A pity that the local sale is closed now.
The reason they are not looking as good, is not because of the soil quality but because you have repotted it. Maples in pots are very sensitive to this and it takes two years to return to previous colours and health. It is due to the amount of soil around the out roots. I have many maples in pots and it took me quite a longtime to figure out the reason. I bought some larger maples in a private sale and the were in large square wooden pots. They had not been repotted for 10 years. I had to root prune due to square rootball and these trees are only just recovering now and the root prune was nearly 4 years ago.
With root pruning I have no experience yet. But I believe that it is much harder for a tree to recover when you root prune after ten years without any repotting. I repot every 3-4 years and always check that the next pot size is only a bit larger than the old one. And when I pull out a tree from the pot and see that there is still enough room for more roots I wait another year. In the past this worked fine when I only used rhodo soil. But this season I can really see a big difference with the new soil. I will check each tree soon and if the roots still look healthy maybe I will change my mind and will not repot again now.
Your explanation is good. I learned a few years ago to reduce the size of the root ball to adapt large maples and to renew part of the root system. It has worked very well so far and that's it, 2 years after adding a maple is when it finally adapts and everything is ok. In my case I don't prune much of the branches when I remove roots, always in the following spring the maple decides which branches to remove from the way, it was a personal experiment. Even so, every year I must prune part of the branches so that they are aligned, reinforce other branches and so that they do not grow much since I have a few that are more than 8-10 years old and even more.
In the past I always used rhododendron soil with good results when the drainage was good too. But last year I tried a new peat free planting soil but with pH above 6. Not a good idea.😕
Möglicherweise hast du sehr kalkhaltiges wasser. Die verschiedenen AP Sorten sind da verschieden empfindlich aber die meisten mögen das garnicht. Das würde auch erklären warum die Ahorne in der Rhodo erde so gesund sind, da die das Kalk durch die enthaltenen Säuren für eine gewisse Zeit wegpuffern kann.
Guter Punkt. Hab ich auch noch nicht rüber nachgedacht. Laut Web liegt meine Wasserhärte so bei 12dH, also noch im unteren Mittelfeld eigentlich. Denke aber, dass es bei mir eher die miese Erde ist. Hatte mal torffreie Erde von Neudorff getestet...taugt nicht. Leider mit 80 liter Sack viele meiner Bäumchen da reingesetzt. Werd jetzt stück für stück alle wieder umtopfen. Probiere es dann mit der Pflanzerde von Kölle mit pH 5,3. Etwas Perlit kommt dann auch noch dazu.
Very Very good video thanks you like 💯👍🤩
Awesome
Great video and I like your video my friend
Thank you very nuch for sharing
Regards
Thank you very much!
Looking great! Amazing how acid soil affects the autumn colours of maples.
Indeed, thank you! My conclusion also is that I will look even more on the pH value. The bad soil that I used was over 6 and besides peat free!

Nice one ! Mine are still summer color . How cold is this now ? What zone are you living in ?
he lives in germany
Hi and thank you! Hamburg is in zone 7b/8a. In the moment we have around 7-12 °C.
@@Acerdorer thank you
how much sun recieve your maples in fall?, how many hours
Currently my maples get direct sunlight for about 3-4 hours I would say, from 11am.
How many days can the leaf stay on fall colors
I think 1 to 2 weeks max. It really depends on the weather.
What kind of soil did you use exactly?
In the past I always used rhododendron soil with good results when the drainage was good too.
But last year I tried a new peat free planting soil but with pH above 6. Not a good idea.😕
@@Acerdorer sorry to hear that.hope your plants will bounce back next season.
