For my 2¢, if anyone is more interested in getting a larger tree fast as opposed to what exactly that JM looks like, then honestly I'd recommend going with a base Acer palmatum and not one of the varietals (i.e. the JM your varietal is grafted onto). As many have learned from seeing below-the-graft shoots taking off, your basic palmatum is usually much more vigorous than any of its varietals, and once well established can add on 2-3 feet of growth per year easily. A good option if you're wanting to build up and develop your landscape in the shortest time possible.

Absolutely love your videos, Jim! Very informative and have learned so many new plants! I do have a few points in your video. I live in Central Indiana (border on zone 5b and 6a) Japanese Maples do not tolerate full sun well here. In fact the thrive in near full shade or morning sun and afternoon shade. The leaves scorch in afternoon sun, and the color can completely bleach from the leaves by the end of Summer. While I do totally agree with you they do best with some direct sun, I always avoid full sun even in zone 5. Zone 5 summers are just as hot and humid as the Deep South.

Thank you for this! I bought a maple last year and planted in the fall. It was simpled labeled 'Acer Palmatum' and I've been trying to figure out which cultivar. By watching this video I am fairly certain now that it is some variety of Coral Bark, which I am thrilled about! I can't wait for it to wake up this spring and mature!

We are growing Japanese Maples in zone 9b (Central Valley California). While Japanese maples can tolerate full-sun in cooler climates, they are very prone to "leaf-scorch" in zone 9b. Especially with the 115 degree temperatures we recently endured here this September. In order to prevent leaf-scorch, I had to build shade structures around the younger Japanese Maples for their first couple of years. Once their roots became established the Japanese Maples became much more tolerant of the very hot/dry summers in this area. However, I still have to keep an eye on them when it hits 115 degrees, and make sure they get plenty of water. I enjoy trying to grow plants in zones that the "professionals" say can't be done. Japanese Maples growing in Zone 9b happens to be one of those non-recommended plants for this area. I am also growing Colorado Blue Spruce (Hoopsii) trees in this oven of a valley, and they are doing great. It just takes a little more monitoring and TLC to grow these out-of-zone plants. This is the complete opposite of the many native plants that we have growing in our Xeriscaped yards. The hotter it gets the more those plants seem to thrive. Especially plants like Crape Mertles, Little Johns, Pomegranates, Texas Rangers, Lavender, Mexican Sage and Yuccas. They all love the heat, and requre very little water to keep alive. This is great considering the ongoing drought here in California. Now if more people would just get rid of those water-wasting green carpets in their yards, there would be much more water to go around for everyone. 🙂

Here in georgia the tamukeyama are very popular. It's exactly what your looking for, red, weeping and tends to grow very short.

The short ones don't look right, the leaves and branches covers the beautiful trunk and base of the tree. It ends up looking like a scruffy red bush if you don't take care of it. Bloodgood is also a very popular japanese maple tree here. It's red thin and tall with bigger leaves
