Just made one of these and put four seedlings that were growing on my property from its bloodgood mother and one cutting. One week later they are growing and living strong! 50/50 perlite and a mix of pine bark etc. Thanks for the new hobby Jonny!
You are very good at explaining, your videos are clear and concise, really useful content. I have started with my bonsai hobby,which means I also got addicted at propagating trees with any method available
very informative. I see you do not use bonsai potting mix. Would that work? Would you also mix with perlite (most bonsai mixes have perlite, worm casings etc). Thanks
Sure, glad to help. I have found that there are some Acer palmatum varieties that will root by cuttings reliably, and other that will not. Experiment and find out what works.
Im in zone 6a and I bury the entire tub up to the soil line inside in my garden, keeps the soil inside the tub warm enough and never lost any cuttings.

You are a great teacher, very clear and precise. I love your work
Thank you very much!
Will this method work with the laceleaf variety? I've always seen them grafted but not rooted from cuttings.

Does your maple cuttings get full sun at alll? Would it still grow under shade?
I always have zero results in propagating maple cuttings....I will try your methods and the potting mix......thanks for the info

Bonsainut forum has a list of Acer Palmatum that will root by cutting
Hi Jonny, thank you for the video! What is the best time to do this method?
In my zone 8 garden, Late June into early July seems to work best.
What do you do with them when the temperature begins to fall during autumn and winter months…
what sprayer is it that you use to mist the cutting? amazon?
I use this one (Amazon affiliate link): amzn.to/3qkhjS9
what do you do with them in the winter monthS?
I leave them outside in my zone 8 garden. If you live in a zone 6 or below, they will need winter protection in pots.
Ok so let me make sure I got this right ..once they root transplant and leave them outside
