I remember when you first got the property you were not excited at all about the acers. It's lovely to see your opinion change to the point where you're planting more! So cool to continue to learn as we go.

I've just moved back to Rochester NY from ND, and I'd recommend at least visiting Oriental Garden Supply in Pittsford NY to see a nursery with quite a few Japanese Maples. There might be others, but that is the first I've found.

I fell in love with Japanese maples when we moved into our parents old home. My dad who has passed on was was a master gardener. He had planted many different Japanese maples around the property. It is absolutely stunning to see these fully mature trees throughout the seasons. It is breathtaking beautiful. I think I have a Japanese maple and conifer addition now. They’re so unique and brings such a unique quality to the landscape and color. Oh the colors. I love your videos on the land. It’s really inspiring me to maybe start planting some of these natives you share in other videos and special cultivar’s on our land with 2 10 acre ponds. It’s 160 acres so that would be back breaking work but the beauty would be magical. I really love how your paying tribute to those before you while learning to lean into something new. It is absolutely stunning what y’all have done. Great video!! Take care.

Thank you Ms. Summer. I’m not telling you what to do , but I would cage those tress pretty darn high. We’ve had rabbits on our property for years, I don’t know how many trees, shrubs and whatever else they like to eat that they have girdled or destroyed. Anything that I would like to have come back the next spring I have to cage. Just a thought 🌸💚🙃

I just love Japanese Maples due to their beauty & gracefulness. Despite their cultivar or size, they can be pruned & shaped to be much smaller. That’s the whole technique to bonsai. They are so very versatile.

I think that the former owner fell in love with these quietly elegant, Maples and the romantic, exotic fantasy surrounding them. After that, he 'only had eyes' for them and was heading in a new direction, creating his peaceful surroundings, as if to transport himself to a far-away place, without leaving home. Pretty clever. Can you see these trees out of any windows of the buildings? My neighbors have their 4-5 different kinds, planted under some huge old trees, which provide shade over their yard, most of the day. They water and nurture them, as if they were family pets and this yard has its own more humid, atmosphere, as if it had lots of moss. There are rocks and beautiful plants all around them. Their trees have grown minimally in 12 years, towards the sky, but they seem to have gotten tastefully wider. Still, these owners remain unseen, so I don't get to ask my questions. They must garden at night. With fruit, I can understand a graft, but with other trees I don't understand. My parents tried to explain our grafted tree, when I was a child, but it seemed so shockingly unnatural. Is there a better reason? Thanks. Loved this video, of course. Aw, Japanese Maples. How intuitive was the nursery owner and who better can continue, towards fulfilling his vision, the vision which others, can apparently see, than the Flock? 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐓Reflection in the water... Wow. Water nurtures and seeks it's own way too.

They need to a period of cold stratification to germinate, so put it outside where it will get some light frost over the winter. Also keep in mind that the longer the seed was sat not doing anything, the longer it takes to grow, if it all, sometimes seeds will die

How many hours do you yourself spend weeding & trimming, deadheading or watering each day? How do the other Flock members contribute who are not 'plant' people but are doing other things to build your general infrastructure? I am partnering with someone on 2 properties this month....I have the 300+ potted plants which I have been growing from my own cuttings, tubers etc for at least 4 years....so many hours of care! Not to mention my own lawns & gardens on site and off.

I remember the first time I encountered you Summer, back in 2013 in your beautiful apartment chocked full of plants (do you have any photos or footage of what your place looked like way back then?). I was inspired to do the exact same thing to my dads’ newly renovated house in North Carlton, Melbourne. Of course - that never really happened indoors, but when the opportunity arose to pour my heart and soul into the front and backyards’ in 2021 and this year, I couldn’t resist. Now in my first rental property I am again confronted with the mammoth task of rehabilitating a HUGE neglected garden. At the moment, I am in the thick of it (anybody know shortcuts for breaking down piles of logs and rocks?). I love watching your videos, and feel as I become more knowledgeable and informed, your content matches in nuance each time. Thanks for uploading!! Do you watch any of Peter Chan’s videos? He’s a large Maple Bonsai FANATIC in the UK. I think of him as the Bonsai Messiah/Prophet.

On the deer problems...when I was managing a Japanese maple nursery. I only ever saw deer on trees found stressed but with young leaves. Typically I found the deer came after a maple that maybe have had heat and lack of water related damage upon a fresh new leaf out the deer would devour those new leaves.

A lot of red maples will turn green in late spring/summer. Actually, most maples will have an early spring color and then slowly change colors in the summer to a darker green . Even reds that keep their color will go from a bright red to a dark maroon color in summer.

I have watched almost every episode - what a great place you are making! I think it was on another channel that I heard a fellow speak who was very much into native plants. He thought that varieties with variegated or red foliage were in the end not good for the various birds and insects that feed on them. I'm not sure if it was because they don't produce as much, or any clorophyll. I guess the plant still gets to photosynthesize, or produce energy from the sun, even without clorophyll. Can you please comment on this, and maybe make clarify the thinking a little for me?

Yeah bloodgood most say 5-8 meter, but J.D. Vertrees (best book of japanese maple culvitars) rates 10 meter, wich is much more accurate at 20-30 year mark.
