Great job Dereck! I didn't see your first edition of your mistakes video, but this one is fantastic! I love the way you're sitting under your shade sail.
The watering thing was and is still my biggest issue. I really have to force myself not to water too often and probably NEVER in winter! Thanks again for the eye-opener.
Man, you're amazing and so passionate about your hobby. I have few maples and I noticed they really like simple cow manure as a fertiliser. It is completely natural, not too strong, have all micronutrients and full of beneficial bacteria and microorganisms.
Excellent information, watering really is a problem for newcomers like myself (age 85) and with the unseasonal weather here in northern England, there hasn't been much rain for the last three weeks at the same time cold easterly winds have been quite strong but have not been drying out my bonsais so the surface has been quite dry but underneath is still wet
Man great point about overcare but i've been seeing a ton of what i believe to be powdery mildew affecting more of my maples than i would like. I've been trying to utilize organic treatments containing mostly citric acid to some but not spectacular effect. It's bumming me out a bit.
How many trees do you have? Perhaps you are wasting time, money and resources using methods you are seeing online from gardener gurus that doesn’t know exactly what they are doing. Why are you adding citric materials? Is your PH too high? Most likely your PH isn’t and throwing citric materials is pointless. Join the Maple Nutz community on facebook and let’s talk. I’m all about helping people my friend.
Thanks. I must have gotten Phyllosticta on an emperor. Thought I gave it too much sun, but wasn’t sure how that made sense. Much more sense that it is fungal damage. Where do you live?
Great video! I’m new to Acers. My question is about the compost mix you use. Here in the UK, we are discouraged from using Peat, can Japanese Maples be grown in peat free compost?
Peat hold moisture. I recommend to use a bit of peat moss, too much can hold lots other water and it is why I use only about 15-20% peat moss. You can use other materials coco coir.
What is the lace leaf maple that has light pink leaves with its branch moving in the wind on the right of the screen in this video? If you point to it and name it in a next video, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
I'm just getting started in growing japanese maple trees and this video was super helpful and exactly what I needed. Regarding the fungus on the leaves, can i prune off the branches that have those infected leaves and try to root a cutting from them or is it better to keep the leaves and branches intact and just wait till the shed them?
Unless you live in a cool climate... save your money. In So Calif some people get lucky with a J.Maple in just the right spot. I've had terrible luck in the shade or in the sun doesn't matter. Maybe just ignore them and get lucky with very little water/care. A very beautiful but very difficult tree to grow.
Ive been watering all my maples which were repotted bout 2months ago every night. Thats what i was suggested to do during SPRING. All seem to be doing great. Ill start skipping a day here and their now. Zone 9
I slimmed down on the types of plants I own beca I want to focus on JMs and conifers now. Still got my palm trees, my orchids and a few other plants that means a lot to me
@@MapleNutz same! I find myself wanting more Maples and conifers now. I think I’m good with flowers for now. I Would love to know where you got the weeping Atlas cedar if you don’t mind sharing.

Moisture meters are unreliable. The tip gets easily corroded and no longer servíciale. Use your fingers or you can also lift the pot and feel the weight. Those are the only two reliable methods. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Moisture meters do not sit in moist soil for any length of time and it would take years to corrode. I agree lifting a pot is useful but hardly practical for plants in the ground. Your finger method has its uses but can be deceptive depending on the type of soil and its temperature.
Isn’t using peat moss is bad for the environment because it removes this valuable resource from the wild which releases carbon back into the atmosphere?
Well it depends on how we look at it. Everything we do is bad for the environment. We are literally the worst thing that ever happened to our planet. Peat moss is the least of our concerns.
Why do you water over leafs xd just sit down and make the water hit earth, not leaves :D Ok nvm you fixed this mistake with advice just in time :D Also when it rains at night how the hell can you prevent that damage you show? trees love rain, so this is hard to believe honestly.
Trees are also in the ground, where they become more resistant to drought, disease and fungus. Also in the wild what you are seeing are trees that are native to the area. There’s a lot of variables on why they do so much better.
Great info. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Beautiful garden.
Great clear to the point video. Really useful information for people new to the hobby

You are very right, I use it a lot on my lawn.
Thank you
You got it my friend.

One always learn somthing from everybody.Thank you🌳
My pleasure 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks a lot. I lost four maples last weeks. Don't know why. I suspect watering. It was cold for a long time and maybe the roots were wet too long 😩😭

Where do you live?
North Carolina, Zone 8A.

Hi, may I ask where do you buy your peat moss? I see Lowe have Sphagnum peat moss and Hydra Peat Moss Blend. Can I use those?
I get my peat moss at Lowes. Comes in a huge cube like shape and the color of the packaging is white and green.
What is the lace leaf maple that has light pink leaves with its branch moving in the wind on the right of the screen in this video? If you point to it and name it in a next video, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
It’s Hana Matoi. One of my all time favorites. Here a video ruclips.net/video/Pji-H3wZCJw/видео.html

Regarding the fungus on the leaves, can i prune off the branches that have those infected leaves and try to root a cutting from them or is it better to keep the leaves and branches intact and just wait till the shed them?
Don’t do it. That fungus is temporarily and next year everything will be fine. Do not try to propagate anything with fungus as it will not work.
@@MapleNutz wouldn't it be best to prune off the leaves that are infected to prevent it from spreading ?
Quick question about especially dwarfs in planters. What to do in winter?
What types of dwarf, dwarf Japanese Maples? It so, you treat them the same way you treat your other JMs. During winter they will go dormant.
Unless you live in a cool climate... save your money. In So Calif some people get lucky with a J.Maple in just the right spot. I've had terrible luck in the shade or in the sun doesn't matter. Maybe just ignore them and get lucky with very little water/care. A very beautiful but very difficult tree to grow.
😢😢😢
Maple Nutz, How about during the winter? Would you water and allow to dray out and water again as per a plant in full leaf?
During winter dormancy you can water maybe once every 1-1.5 weeks. But yes, make sure the soil dries up before you water again.
@@MapleNutz Thanks for the reply, and thank you for the informative and interesting content.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
papiiii🔥🔥🔥
Ese fue el tukitaso.
Супер-видео! Спасибо огромное!!! Жаль, что переводчик иногда не понимает 😊
So sorry my friend. 😢
What is the best soil mixture to use for the maples?
Stay Nutty ✌🏻🍁🥜 ruclips.net/video/jdMZgcNd_bs/видео.htmlsi=nJjjxAifvW8kuAa7
Ive been watering all my maples which were repotted bout 2months ago every night. Thats what i was suggested to do during SPRING. All seem to be doing great. Ill start skipping a day here and their now. Zone 9
I got a new one , I repotted it and now the leaves are drooping , any suggestions?
Put it in the shade. No sun at all for the remainder of the year.
@@MapleNutz thanks a bunch
That’s how I used to kill a lot of my plants. Now I have more and can focus on different things instead of going obsessing with a particular plant 😆
I slimmed down on the types of plants I own beca I want to focus on JMs and conifers now. Still got my palm trees, my orchids and a few other plants that means a lot to me
@@MapleNutz same! I find myself wanting more Maples and conifers now. I think I’m good with flowers for now. I Would love to know where you got the weeping Atlas cedar if you don’t mind sharing.

Trees are also in the ground, where they become more resistant to drought, disease and fungus. Also in the wild what you are seeing are trees that are native to the area. There’s a lot of variables on why they do so much better.
