- Japanese Maples: Secrets of selection and care in full sun. Dry damaged bunt leaves can be a big issue for Acers!
This video contains a selection of Japanese maples that grow in full sun, as well as a host of information on how to care for them! Acers have evolved to grow in the shade of other tree, but many are able to tolerate direct sunlight without burning their leaves. There are limits of course, but these all work well in my garden!
Ideal for beginners or more experienced Japanese Maple growers, in these videos I will show what practical steps I take to keep my Acer trees healthy during a year of gardening!
I hope you will follow me in my adventures with these wonderful trees
This video will help you grow better trees and for those with more experience, who want to improve the autumn colour, health and general quality of their Maples. Colour can also be improved all year by giving trees the right amount of sun.

Realy nice to shair your knowledge. I started yet. A south facing garden. What i did is putting steel cables over a part of the garden and grow grapes over it. They create a complete different klimate for me and the acers that do not keep up with full sun. And yeq experiment on those hot days. Be quick to adjust. I had butterfly in full sun for an hour and the new tips got black. Bihoo next to it did just fine. They show it quick when they cant take it. Keep new plants in shade. Putvthem in sun when you are in free time and check them every hour can learn you a lot and prevent big damage.
Hi and sounds like you have a great solution! This is a recent video of trees I leave in full sun you may find interesting

Thank you so much
My pleasure 👍
Nice collection,i have alot of catchin up😂
Thanks, it’s so easy to keep buying more!
So glad I found this channel, it’s re sparked my love for the Japanese Acer! I did see your video about ‘taylor’ being finicky to do well, mine was doing quite well as a younger tree until one day of decent sun here in the south west gave it leaf burn right away haha! Moved into a spot that gets maybe an hour or two of sun in the morning and then full shade and it’s loving it!
Thanks for posting and it’s a great story of taking action and learning what each tree likes 👍 Glad your enjoying the channel 🥰
Going thru heatwaves over here. Got all mine in shade plus 2 layers bug netting and seems be doing great during my busy work schedule and during the mid 90"s in the state of Kentucky usa. Water once a day..in the evening everyday. If it's going to be this hot this summer I may end up placing a drip Tray underneath all my maples. Most are expensive bonsai I've created over past 10yrs. Have them all together.
Hottest I’ve seen maple trees is 122 degrees in a poly tunnel. With no direct sun or wind they were doing well. Sounds like you have a great system 👍
Thank you,I find your Channel very informative and so helpful.you provide the perfect tip’s regarding the upkeep of these wonderful plants.
Thanks and really kind of you to let me know 👍
I am in US, Colorado. 5200 ft 10’’ moisture/ yr. 250 d of full sun 90-100 degrees summer -15-20 F in winter. Your sun is very different than anywhere else
Wow that’s extreme !
While I do like your program, Great Britain "full sun" is like a gentle moist spring where I am. All my maples are in heavy afternoon shade.
@@doggiesarus absolutely relative to your season and location 👍
Lots of great tips Carl! Looks like you got some unusual new species there. I have just got a 'Black Lace' from the nursery which I've not seen before. It says its part shade, so I'm going to follow your advice and try to acclimatize it
Thanks and I’m always on the lookout for new cultivars! Thanks for posting and enjoy your new tree 👍
Very useful video thanks Carl keep up the good work mate thanks
Pleasure to do them if it’s helping thanks! 🙏
How do you make your tree name tags, the names are on the tags so nice.
Hi I show how here 👍 Garden Labels: Hand Written vs. hand made!

Brilliant again Carl . your advice and tips have helped me keep my 26 Japanese acers looking great. Heard you mention about staking some of yours, are there any important rules or recommendations regarding staking ? I will have to check your videos in case you have already covered that issue. Thanks great work.
Thanks Robert, to be honest I just have a stake close to the trunk to offer support if needed. I find potting on slowly helps as I roots fill the pot adding stability. Staking up the leader on the Red Willow just gives it more height until the trunk hardens off. I’ll see if I can include something in a video soon 👍
Hi thanks for all your great videos, very useful keep up the good work, I live in Hastings South East England, it's now the beginning of August is it too late to defoliate Japanese maples now or what would you you say was the latest time to in the year to safely fully defoliate?
@@adyer9239 too late for this year I would say no later than June to allow enough time to recover 👍
Excellent, will leave be then. Thanks so much for the advice 👍
Hello from Long Island New York United States 👋 I have my first maple. It was on sale due to sun scorch. I hope it will be ok.
Hi there! Great to hear about your first maple. Give her plenty of shade and don’t be tempted to over water and it should be fine. Carl
I’ve just subscribed to your channel btw 👍 If your trying to get monetised and want and tips let me know 👍
@@Japanesemaples thank you so much for subscribing to my channel. I would love some advice on how to help my channel grow. I do have a full-time job so it’s hard to dedicate a steady schedule in the garden. The biggest problem is editing my videos I can’t seem to find an editor that works for me so I’m just using iMovie.
Cant do this down here in Cornwall! The UV levels are way too intense plus the constant salt laden winds!
I’ve seen trees do well in Cornwall, I think the sun could work for most of them but the salt is an issue 👍
@@Japanesemaples In sheltered areas they can survive when planted in the ground and have become established but in small containers it’s a battle! We have four months of rain and twelve months of wind with an ozone layer that is paper thin! Even field maples succumb, the only variety that seems to thrive in full sun is the Tridents!
How many japanese maples do you have in your collection now??
I'm looking for 2 of them....acer palmatums Mila and Katja so if you come across either or both can you let me know please?
Love your channel by the way, Carl!!!!
I think it’s about 75 at last count. Yes I will keep an eye out 👍
My maple tree leaf is turning red and shedding leaves. It feels like the tree is dying in July in Michigan. Any tips to revive the tree? Tree has been watered every 3 days. Its not about the water fir sure.
Hi sorry to hear that. Do you know the cultivar and is it exposed to wind?
Where do you get plan Lables?

Do you find that your terra cotta pots get hotter than standard nursery pots? And would you recommend clay over plastic to allow complete dry-out?
I prefer clay as they evaporate water, cooling the trees roots in the summer. In the spring they help get rid of excess water. The nursery plastic pots work with the very free draining compost they use, but I prefer something more substantial so clay works. Thx for posting 👍
Great video, thanks!
What are your thoughts on compost?
I have been trying different types but find some ericaceous is very fibrous, almost stringy and drains straight away!
John Innis 2&3 mixed together was recommended, it's heavy and loamy so I have been trying to mix this with the lighter ericaceous to get better drainage.
Do you have any tips on soil/ compost and have you experimented with blending?
I prefer a mix of John Innes no 3 and ericaceous as the best of both worlds 👍
After reading about proper pots for acers, I went with terracotta instead of glazed pots but forgot that terracotta is not frost resistant 🤦🏾♀️I guess that's not the right choice for UK weather?
@@marie-micheleramsamy5067 I’ve been using terracotta pots for years in the uk and have only had a couple be an issue. The benefit to the trees however is certain 👍
Do you know of any green acer that tolerates sun and stays green in the sun?
Mikawa Yatsubusa and Shishigashira come to mind 🤔 I will do a follow up video in a few weeks and see what has happened to the others 👍
My emperor isn't doing very good it was 110 degrees for every for an entire week with no rain
Oh wow that’s hot! Have you watered the tree?
It needs shade ASAP
