Thanks for the video, I just found a nice little seedling growing under a pretty Japanese maple near me and plucked it out carefully and am now growing it in a pot.

We have a couple mature maple trees and after mulching the bed they reside in I noticed tons of seedlings coming up. We didn’t know what they were at first until after picking one and seeing the helicopter seed underneath. I guess I’m going to try and grow some maple trees now! As if I didn’t already have enough plants and trees to care for lol.

So helpful. Thank you so much. I am an avid gardener, but I had no idea about the burning of the leaves and that explains why I have had no luck with Japanese maples. So now I am ready to do it right. But my question is, what do you do with them in the winter time? I live in the north on the great lakes. Wondering if I should put them inside my garage to protect them somewhat? Or leave them out in the elements or watt?
@JonnyMaple Жыл бұрын
If you live in a zone 6 or zone 5, it would definitely be good to protect the young trees from the winter elements. Once they are mature and in the ground, they can take down to a zone 5.

Loved your video! Did you start all of these trees from seedlings, or were some from seeds? I collected my seeds in Nov. 2020 and planted half in a hoop house prior to the winter. I have no idea how many may germinate, but I'm hopeful! The other half have been in the fridge, and I plan to plant them in large tray outside after the last frost this spring. Again, we'll just have to see if I get lucky! I was wondering what your plans are for all of your successful plantings? Looks like you have more than a hundred! The variations are so interesting! I hope I have 1/10 of your success!
@JonnyMaple3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words. All of these seedlings were dug up from the mulched areas underneath the Japanese maples in our yard, so while they are started from seed, I let nature do the work! I hope to purchase some land in the near future and hope to have a large amount of these trees planted in the landscape. I also might eventually start selling them. You seem to be taking to right steps to have success with your seeds, and I wish you the best of luck!

My seedlings I potted with a mix of Ericasious and John inns number 2 also perlight and sharp sand. Started off well we had some hot days I noticed a lot of black fly i sprayed them now I have some dying back? Is it the sun the wind or the spray. The spray was vitax bug spray . I have bought them into a shaded part of my orangery. Would reporting in slag, moss work ??

Thanks for this helpful information! I had over 200 seeds germinate in the refrigerator from my Japanese maple and I'm wondering if you can tell me when I need to move them outside? I have them in 4 in pots in front of a window that gets indirect sunlight right now and they all just have their cotyledons though a couple appear to be developing their true leaves.
@JonnyMaple3 жыл бұрын
You should be ok to move them outside now, as long as they are protected from harsh sunlight, unless you are still getting really cold nights, then I would wait a little bit as to not shock them from a big temperature change. Transplant them into separate pots once they have their true leaves developed.

Are you sure the browning of the leaves is not overwatering? To water them everyday is seems excessive but the UK is perhaps not as hot as where you are. I water mine once a week and ensure they are well drained. Great video thanks

I have a Bloodgood seedling that is doing quite well. It's about 3' tall. Question: the stem still seems a bit 'spindly' Is there a way to 'bulk' up the stem and encourage side growth?
@JonnyMaple3 жыл бұрын
Pruning is probably the best course of action to encourage side growth. There should be a some pruning tutorial videos on KZfaq to guide you.

what potting soil do you use though? don't Japanese maple tree need more acidic potting soil?
@rebeccastrunk6782 жыл бұрын
Hi Jonathan. I just found you on KZfaq and especially love Japanese maples, so I appreciate your teaching. I heard you say in one of the videos that you plan to share you faith too....that’s another thing we share, and I look forward to that! Question....when you take cuttings from a maple to start new plants, do you regularly see them droop some after the clipping is placed in the soil with rooting hormone? I took some clippings and a few are droopy. I’m sure it’s shocking to them to be cut off and stuck in dirt. But if you’re preventing droop, how do you do that? Will the droopy ones recover?
@JonnyMaple2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I am glad you liked the video. Without a greenhouse an ideal environment, I would expect about 50% or so of the cuttings to not make it. So, as long as you are seeing half of them look good, I wouldn't be too concerned.

I would let the stem get to at least 1/2" to 3/4" before I planted it out to keep it from getting damaged, but there really is no real rule on this as far as I can tell.
