I’ve been searching for a clear lesson on how to prune Japanese maples and you’ve shown it beautifully! That’s not really pruning-it’s ART!! Thank you for sharing!
@@susanmcclung2426 thanks for the praise and glad we could share some techniques. We have other maple videos on our channel that share more techniques.
@@Mett-wt3xj a lot of maples are pruned into the before shape. This is why we want to show this art style. It's different and we think seeing the structure looks better.
I was just musing this week that my Japanese maple needed some dead branches removed, but was worried I would mess up the structure. I’m so happy to stumble across your excellent channel! Thank you for all this information.❤❤❤
Not going to lie, I chuckled at that opening and it was a much needed chuckle as the day started out rough. Thank you for that and I loved how this pruning turned out!
You both are amazing! It’s so wonderful to witness these amazing trees shape up to form beautiful living art. Thank you for sharing your incredible talents. 🙏🙏🙏
@@silverbackag9790 for the maple trees in our videos, the trunks were bent and structured naturally with wind, snow, ice, and sunlight. For this tree and the precious few trees, they have never been serviced until we showed up.
@@isaacsteinsgarden we currently teach bonsai classes at our nursery in addition to teaching these classes at various nurseries in the Puget sound area. You are always more than welcomed to stop by our nursery and just learn too. We have several volunteers who come here to learn how to prune, wire, style, etc.
Looks great! When can you trim Japanese maple? Can you do it in fall before winter? Or wait till spring? It's nice to have leaves on the tree to see how it looks with foliage
@@AlecShernAPS You can trim maples any time. We prune year round, but there are advantages on pruning in different seasons with weather conditions and foliage density being the biggest factors.
@@AsiaPacificGarden thank you! I'm going to try to help my neighbor trim his overgrown Japanese maple with these tips. He hates it because it is dense and harbors wasps but I think opening it up will fix that!
@@AlecShernAPS happy to hear you're gonna give it a go! Just don't rush the process. It takes two seconds to clip a branch but will take years to grow it back. Robert and Nolan spent 5 hours on this particular tree.
I have over a 50 year old Japeness Maple and don’t know how to prune correctly. I would love to make it look like a bonsai tree. Any suggestions on where to start would help. It’s a big mop😢. I don’t want to kill it and think it it’s a beautiful tree. I’m in the North Kitsap area. Thanks
Apologies for not seeing this comment until now! RUclips doesn't notify us of every comment. As for where to start, we always recommend starting on removing all dead branches first. This way, it takes off a lot of dead weight and it'll naturally raise the tree. As you prune, keep in mind that the tree will raise, so we tend to start from bottom up. There are more maple pruning videos under our "Out In The Field" playlist on our channel.

The saying "less is more" certainly applies to these trees. I love what you do to reveal the beautiful structure.
@@barbarabarker6753 thank you!
I dislike when the tree is trimmed into a ball. Thank you for teaching us how to do this correctly!
@@lisanetgark415 you are most welcome! More techniques in our other maple videos. They're under the "out in the field" playlist.
Beautiful transformation, All the maples i see around my area look like this one before you pruned. Great lesson

Where the trunks and the main branches of this and similar lace leafs that you’ve shown in various videos bent and structured as younger trees?
