Something you might mention in a video such as this is to use a container that has a larger diameter at the top than at the bottom. Seems a simple thing, but once you've had to remove a tree from a container with a rounded type shape, you'll understand. It's to hard to get the root ball out without damaging the tree. Speaking with the voice of experience.

Top Advice here! All of my JMs are in pots/containers. All said pots are raised on bricks or wooden struts to bring it off the ground. All my pots contain drainage crocs/hydroponic clay balls and then a decent blend of composts ideally suited to JMs. Fine Pine bark, ericaceous and a general John Innes Compost No2 or No3 all thoroughly mixed together and then the JM is potted to the correct height. Finally I use a top mulch of horticultural grit to keep moisture evaporation down. Mind you, I have birds that eat the grit to aid digestion within their crops. Get a decent JM and an attractive Terracotta Pot then you know your onto a winner! Oh and one other thing to bear in mind: if your going to have a potted JM in a pot out in your front garden then do opt for a large heavy pot. It will make it difficult to be stolen by some low-life or reprobate that would like to pick it up and run off with it!

I just get the inexpensive thick growers black container which already has great drainage holes. They are sold in most garden centers. They come in multiple sizes, can easily size up. I then just slip it into a more decorative ceramic container of course with a drainage hole to finish the look. A pot in a pot… is the easiest term.

I use leftover composite decking for pot feet. I rip the deck board in half then cut those halves into one inch'ish wide feet. They are cheap, look good, last virtually forever, and are soft enough to be easy on ceramic pots. Couple of board feet makes a lot of feet. I've got a bucket of them and have given away dozens of them.

This episode speaks volumes to me🪴🪴🪴I am a container gardener with hundreds of plants. Of course there are some things in the ground but I like the portability of containers, being able to expand, grow and change the garden as time goes by. I always take away some new knowledge from your videos👩🏻‍🌾

Check out all the varieties of Heucheras. Good for pots too. Colors are incredible. Many cultivars available like the maples. Ever-changing colors too. Evergreen perennials available also. Good in shade and humidity as well.

So much good info !!!!! Thank you guys !!! Also lol bring more 3-5 gallon trees please :)

THANK U BROTHERS AGAIN 4 another WONDERFUL 🙏 MAPLE 🍁 CARE!!!

Thank you ! You both give great advice.

Great content as always. I have a small yard so I put my maples in pots as well as the summer has a high index so I need to move the plants to shade.

Love the video, as always. One suggestion - other videos you have that you refer to, link them in the description so that people can easily go to the follow-up video.

Great stuff and thank you guys. As a bonsai enthusiast and a maple tree lover in general. It's important to know this. #japanesemaples

Thanks for the great information guys!

Oh I didn’t know you did a daily show!?!?!!! This is awesome!

Thanks for another great video and infos for all maple addicts! 👍😄 Would you also recommend to add a drainage-fleece (hope you know what I mean) on top of the gravel or clay-granulate in a container to avoid that roots grow down inside the drainage layer? Thank you

Absolutely amazing content 🍁 brothers and Bryan🔥. I truly appreciate to get the chance to learn daily on the mr.maple channel👌🏻. #japanesemaples❤️🍁🔥.

El momento ideal para sacar un Arce y cortarle raíces es cuando veas que empieza a hinchar las yemas, eso hacemos los que tenemos bonsáis de arces y no hay ningún problema durante años y años , yo precisamente tengo un deshojo que lleva conmigo unos 25 años Saludos

Excellent info in this video. I grow several in containers and all this info is very critical in the success of growing Japanese maples in pots. Great video and Great tips from the best in the business! #japanesemaples #bestinthebusiness 🍁💯🔥

This was incredibly helpful, thank you very much!

Such great information for growing #japanesemaples in pots! #mrmapleshow #garden #maplesrule 🍁

I dig Japanese Maples! We love Golden Falls and would love to see pics of it used as a ground cover if any one has some examples... Thanks!!!

One of your best video. Your business will last for a very long time because you really educate your customers and people that have maples. Goodluck to all of you at Mr.Maples thanks for the video and I watched it several times. I purchased some maples for bonsai and looking forward to buy some more.

I just ordered an Orangeola Japanese maple 🍁 from you all! Waiting with anticipation for it to arrive! 😅

Love all of this advice! How often on average should a dwarf japanese maple be potted up to the next size pot?

Ok. I need help. Can you do a quick video or guide me to it if you have it already!? I bought a dwarf maple in a super large heavy pot 2-3 years ago at a local nursery. 1- can it stay in that plastic pot indefinitely? 2- if I want to put in ground, how do I get it out of the container without hurting it (or me) 😮 3- how & when do I re-pot this giant heavy ball? (I’ve never even seen the roots)! I’m in zone 5b midwest. Thank you so much & speaking of Great Danes- they actually make good small apartment pets because they’re super calm & rest a lot! My sister has one in her tiny condo & he’s happy! She takes him for walks often and dog parks & hiking every week too! 😊

Great show! #japanesemaples

Do you advise using a ground cover plant to protect against heat/sun when growing in a pot?

It would have been nice if we could have been shown how to plant JM in containers.

I think I planted mine in too big of a pot, so the growth is very slow. How long before the above ground growth catches up with the roots?

What is the best material for a pot - terra cotta, ceramic, plastic, insulated (double walled) plastic or …. ? You mentioned that concrete pots can hold too much heat. I really want to do things right! Thank you 😃

Hi guys, how much micromax do you usually use for containerized maples? Just follow the bag's directions? Do you do this annually or multiple times a year?

Great Video!!!! #japanesemaple

In the video you explicitly gave concrete as an example of a bad container material that can heat up and retain heat. What are some examples of good containers? Like ceramic, wood, etc.

Fantastic info! #maplesrule #japanesemaples

Great info! #japanesemaples

Exactly! Japanese maples are prone to get cooked in the sun. Even if the temp is mild

Could you use a Crescent Garden Tru-Drop container? They're "self-watering".

Thanks for the info! What’s the best soil to use? 🥰

Great tips, thank you! #Japanesemaples

Could you advise me about an Emperor 1 Japanese Maple? I’d like to put it in a container but perhaps it would be better in the ground and I should get a dwarf variety for a pot?

When is the best time to put the gallon size bloodgood I got from yall in the ground in Nashville Tennessee

Is ajuga ok near my blood good?

Hi. Great video, I'm in zone 6b, If I put a crimson queen Japanese Maple do I have to bring it inside for the winter?

what is the soil mix???

Keep your Japanese Maple containers out of full sun!!! The few times I've lost maples and conifers is because of keeping them in full sun (8+ hours) and forgetting to check them for 4-5 days... this is in Oregon 8b too!!!! So it doesn't have to be a HOT ZONE to fry and send them downward spiral to death!!!!!!

What size pot should I put my tree in then? I don't see a video linked for pot size. I don't want to kill it by potting it to a size that's too big. 🙂😍

Is this a witches broom? Can I cut it out of the tree? Will it grow if I cut it?

#JAPANESE MAPLES

I live in the tropics, like maybe Zone 10 to 12. I feel like it's too hot for Japanese maples.

Hi, zone 9 here. I have an upright tree in a large container. It has grown quite a few branches but there are thin and the height has not grown much. 7 years or so. I understand now that my container has been too large. Can i repot, but with a smaller container? Please help!

Show. Don’t tell. It’s a VIDeo!

Your videos are too long and you repeat the same thing over and over again. All i want to know is container size, soil type, watering, fertilizing and zone. 5 minutes.
