Good video- thanks for the info and I certainly enjoy the humor thrown in. Keep the videos coming.

Thank you so much boys, you've really taken away the fear of looking after my Japanese Maple, I'm so grateful, thank you! Huge respect.......🐦☮️🙏

Thank you Matt and Tim. This was an excellent video. As always full of useful ,informative facts. To watch you prune was awesome!!!!!

Subscribed today. Learning lots! Thank you and God bless back!

This presentation is a gift to all novice growers of Japanese maples. Thank you.

YES!!! Thank y'all so much for this video it cleared up so many questions I had I feel much more confident now and empowered! Also congrats on landing such an amazing sponsor!! That company is AMAZING 😉 keep up the great work

Love it. Thanks Matt and Tim! Great info as usual.

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you, Mr. Maple! 🍁

Dang! Thanks for the shout out Tim! I do love pruning cutleafs! I look forward to it every year! I keep pictures of all of my customers trees so I can see the transformation each year! Thanks y’all! MR MAPLE PODCAST!!!!

Wow. I need to prune some of my maples. Thank you so much for this video. Will refer back to this information many time.

Gramps used wood glue over the wound in the tree after pruning.

Thanks for taking the time to elaborate on this topic, it has somehow been quite the discussion.. Also love the acer griseum back there and how it contrasts with the rhododendron!!

Definitely very important to keep cleaning your pruning scissors with each cut. I lost two Shaina JMs a while back as a result of not doing so. Infection set-in and I had lost each of them within weeks. I now use Rubbing Alcohol which I had bought off Amazon and spray wet my pruning scissors after each cut. I’m taking no chances as they say! But my approach to pruning is to remove dead, diseased , damaged and also branches that are showing signs of growing back into the main central branches! I have made my pruning late season but will make my next pruning session on some of my JMs early next Spring - as long as no frost is forecast here in the UK.

MrMaple Podcast! Let's go! Super pumped for this video.

Great video and information ... I LOVE to prune and after watching you two I'm a bit more confident that I'm doing most things correctly!!! One thing I always keep in mind, I was told once that a butterfly should be able to soar thru a japanese maple without touching it wings on any branch ... and I also keep in mind that mistakes happen, but just like a good (or bad) haircut - it'll grow back and be okee dokee. Thanks for all the info, inspiration and encouragement - I, for one, certainly do appreciate it all !!!

So much helpful information thank you!!! MRMAPLE PODCASTS

Thank you for your information. I appreciate it.

Mr Maple podcast. Fantastic video guys 🙏

Dama damne you guys are great love this channel will spread the word.

Despite being involved in landscape architecture, horticulture, and Bonsai for over 20 years, it's always worthwhile revisiting these important tips and techniques. Brilliant educational video worthwhile for anyone of any level.

Found you guys today and learned so much in just a few mins. Can't wait to get started on my Japanese maple.Just the right time in Tennessee. Thanks for all the info.

Thank you so much for the info! I planted my first maple a couple of months ago and looking forward to giving it a "haircut". Thanks!

Just found your channel. Sweet. Thanks so much for all the tips, will be looking forward to more great videos

Hey guys, 7b here, not to far from you. This is a great video, definitely what I needed for the 2 I have right now that are about 8 yrs old. Love the sponsor drop in & pruning faces! We are looking to move this year so all of my plans for trees / plants are on hold, but will be buying from you guys as soon as I can! MRMAPPLE PODCAST

Thanks guys I work on a property with two Japanese maples that haven't been tended to in years and took some heavy damage after a really bad winter, with your advice I am sure I can get these beautiful plants to good health again.

Such great information! Thank you!

Very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for the great advice. I almost pruned this fall. Now I will wait till March.

Very helpful, thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks you guys!!! I forget to mention the Maple I sent you the photo, was 1 of 2 we purchased from you, as you can see it's thriving & healthy! Thanks on the prune tips, put my fears to rest Gary

Such a helpful video. Thank you!

Hi Tim & Matt! Your channel has been a valuable tool to educate others on this important topic. Thank you for further explaining late summer pruning a JM for size control. ❤

THANKS 4 a GREAT educational HOW 2 PRUNE video 🎉 Love your dialog that makes your vids so AWESOME 👌

Excellent video. The pruning of maples is like pruning orchard trees or roses. Had some laughs with your occurrences.

Mr.maples is the sponsor hahaha you bet it Is :)

Excellent info!

Outstanding!🤗

You answered so many questions! Thank you! MRMAPLE GIFTCARD

Nice job. Did a big Improvement

great show guys!

So happy to find this video. I just bought an Autumn Moonrise 🍁 on markdown because of damaged branches. I will tidy him up in March. Thank you, guys.

Great Thank you guys

I'm glad you did this

Great video

Good information. I have about 4 trunks coming up from the base.

Thank you for the tips, wished you could talk as you work for those of us with limited time! :0)

great video

Thank you for the video, I have a bunch of Japanese maples and needed help pruning. I was wondering what kind of pruning scissors you are using in the video?

Great info 👍🏻 MRMAPLE PODCAST.

April 12th in Ontario pruning my potted Japanese maple; had deadwood because a rabbit chewed the trunk bark, seems to be healing well, but that side of the tree is damaged

When you live in a big garden like I do the time to prune is when you are next to the plant with pruners in hand lol!

Really informative! Thanks so much for this one.

I is now early May...my newest Bloodgood did not leaf out...I was told not to prune but I did lightly prune to encourage it to grow...I realize I volcanoed the trunk over the winter...so I opened it up...I added root stimulant thinking maybe that was the problem being a new planting...I just added and other mild nutrient to help. I can tell it is not dead but I don't know if it will come back..

#japanese maples! Thanks for the informative video!

I was surprised to see Matt holding a pair of concave pruners. I thought I was watching another Bonsai video for a sec. Uh MRMAPLE PODCAST

Thanks a lot for this video! If it posible to do a video but about roots problem? Greetings from 🇨🇭

🍁👍 Good to know ! Thanks guys !

Excellent stuff. Look forward to the lace leaf video!

Hi. God bless!!!! Have a great day!!!!!! # Japanese maples!!!!!!!

Great advice 👍 and super important to have Mr. Miyagi face when clients are watching me prune..... keeps them from asking too many questions lol Great video guys.

Oh heavens! Thank you for this! I'm new to growing Japanese maples and wasn't sure if I was pruning properly. Turns out I am. Whew! Question: I have a redbark and last year when we had the 2 freezes it just looked like a big popsicle. It killed the top 2/3 of the tree. I waited until almost fall to see if it was going to do anything on that part. It didn't so I cut it out. It now has long new branches on the bottom remaining trunk. Will it still grow into a normal size redbark? If you have any suggestions I'll gladly take them. Thanks. I live in zone 7a middle TN.

Thanks for the video. I have a modest Acer collection (18 trees) mainly grown in 1/2 wooden barrels that I started about 9 years ago. Any chance of an update on how this pruning turned out in the following year?

Great sponsor!

Great info! Japanese Maples are tough to keep trimmed. I like your approach!I'm still struggling at 204 subscribers on my little gardening channel but I'll get there one day! Don't give up on your dreams guys! Keep grinding

You guys are a great team, this was so informative and you're so right about everyone having different opinions on pruning! I started laughing watching your faces cutting even before your joke. 😁 It's important to concentrate, lol. My question for you is for variegated Maples. I have a 7 gal Oridono Nishiki and was wondering about how much pruning I should do for the best coloration? Your video about it says a "slight" trim but I'm not sure how much that is? An inch or less? Should I clip every branch early each Spring?

I know it's not a Japanese maple, but the Shantung I have... mentioned that one before, I found some girdling roots and cut them off, exposed the flare and the bald tips are finally getting to grow. I'd LIKE to thin out the canopy a little for air flow, but am I too late in the season? It's young, 30 gal planted last November. I was told not to touch it for one year. At all. Under any circumstances unless spring is dead. I'm not sure if the tree has something though. The leaves (in my opinion) are starting to discolor, shrivel slightly and some (not many) are falling off at a very small size. I don't want to prune it and accidentally make anything worse. But I think it could use a light pruning to help out grow better. Especially since there were some pretty tight roots that were probably inhibiting it (I've noticed a flush of new leaves since taking those off) Really appreciate yalls knowledge, thank you 😊 🙏

Very good video my friends...About a month ago I planted a mature Shishigashira that was never pruned. I really would like to get in there and open it up and shape it. It's almost June do you it's ok to do it now or would you wait till late winter (March)? Good luck today with the open house!

Thanks for the great video. I am curious as to what type of pruners you guys are using. I would like to get a pair!

Is there anything wrong with training the competing leaders on a 1-3 gallon plant to begin creating the canopy?

Great video. I'd be neat to see how the tree flushes out.

Thanks for all of the great info! Mr maple gift Card

Great video. Cannot wait for the weeper version. I have an Inaba Shidare that has all its branches on one side of the plant. How would I encourage branches on the other side?

Good evening - I watched your pruning video and worked diligently to groom my 20+yr old lace leaf. We had extreme weather in zone 7 in Dec/Jan. with temps at 0 for several hours and snow. We always cover /tarp our maple, and we had two lights under the tarp, but we still suffered loss. What was an eye catching, jaw dropping dwarf lace leaf - now has large holes in the canopy. There are several new shoots coming off the trunk of the tree. I have always fertilized with camellia food. Other than pruning, babying, and fertilizing, what can I do to hope in the next few years that I can get this tree back to its top condition? Thanks for all the help from the pruning video. I had plenty of dead portions on the lace leaf.

Great video. I got a red Japanese maple recently from a Nursery online-got it thorugh the mail. The plant has a rootball but is a long twig. How do you work with a long twig? No leaves, etc has a little bud at the top.

About to purchase a couple, Im in Southern California Zone 9 Thinking of the Acer sentinel and the Radiant one. Any tips? First timer.

Good video. Show the plant again when it has all leaves.

Hi I just got into JM’s and got a bloodgood for my balcony. It gets afternoon sun in London. My concern is I want to keep it at around 6.5 - 7 feet Max. Does that mean I just keep on pruning up top to where my limit height is every winter? Thank you

I was a bit startled at how much you guys took off. Granted, you took the twiggy growth and didn't take off the thicker branches. Mr Maple Podcast.

I have a very small yard so want to keep my JMs small. I keep hearing never cut the leader of a tree because it will sprout more leaders. But how do i keep the tree at around 6 - 7 foot if I can never cut the leader?

I live in Texas and this summer weather dried out the top half of my 6 years old tree. Can I just got off the top half since it is with all dead on top and alive on bottom half? Thank you for you video.

Anyone got links to Chris Jewel that they mentioned ? Great show, thanks from Lake District Uk. They love it in this area !

Thanks again …. I learned a few things!! #maplesrule

Do you prune a new planted tree also my leaves are burnt I just placed a shade over it I live in zone 8 . I truly need help saving my baby also clay ground . Thank You 🙏

Hi there! Are you planning an open house this summer/year??

In Canada when do you prune a Japanese maple tree. Today Is March 20 and we still have some snow. Do you wait till,April,when there is no snow usually. I imagine where you are it is quite warm already.

good to know :)

Thank you for this video! What is that bush behind you?

Is there anything ‘wrong’ pruning a Japanese maple during the fall? We just got some new ones in our workplace and they need some love ‘now’ I feel!

My maple needs to be repositioned so the canopy is over the yard not the the sidewalk. Any tips on how to do this so I don’t damage the tree.

Does Aaron from California make videos about bonsai tree?

Can you still prune in early spring (late March-early April if tree is already leafed out? 0:21

I spent twelve hours pruning one Japanese maple for a client, tree was twenty feet tall though. I spent 7 hours pruning an 8 foot tall cryptomeria. Yes it becomes an art.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I have a landscaping client with two Japanese Maples that are incredibly short and wide. The client is most frustrated with the width of them. I looked at them today and am a little puzzled if it's possible to decrease their width. I'm not seeing where to prune them to reduce width honestly. The inside of the tree is fairly empty with not much to reduce. Am I correct in thinking you really can't reduce the width of a mature tree? Thanks!

So what about my young bloodgood tree I just got it's about 6 years old but it has a small branch growing from ground level off of the main trunk should I wait until March to prune that as well?

What brand concave pruners do u like ? Btw love your guys channel 👍🏻

Mrmaple podcast 👊

Can you still prune in early spring (late March-early April if tree is already leafed out?

i heard today from a professional in Belgium that bacterias eventually coming from the cut can go deeper in the tree because of the sap already running in it, the more i search the more i'm lost :D
