- Alright, so I was sent some Japanese maple seeds all the way from the other side of the country and we're going to be germinating them........hopefully! In this video, I'm going to show how to plant and grow a Japanese red maple from seed. The original Japanese maple tree that this seed came from is being torn out by the owner and this is the one chance that we have to save the genetics and have this tree for future years. I'm told that every seedling grows up to look just like the parent tree! We'll see what happens. Special thanks to Dan for sending the seeds.

Fudgeeee!!! I feel like I only watch this channel now days!!! Seriously dude your energy is so infectious!! It's after midnight for me and now I just wanna get out of bed and go back into my garden 😂! Mike...YOURE A G 💯😂
LOL, thanks Adriel! Love the support, sorry to keep you up late, haha.
Im with you, its after ten, im headed to the back yard to find my seedling pots and to check my seeds in the fridge. Got stuff to do now that im wide awake! Thx to Mike!
Thank you Mike ! now you have me looking for red maple seeds in my neighborhood when I take my early morning walks. You have opened up my eyes and senses to so much more in life . I’m grateful to you for sharing your love and knowledge. ❤️🌺🌷🌱💐
Glad to help open your eyes and glad you're here. Have fun on your morning walks!
Hi, I’ve just watched a ton of your videos. I have to say the energy you have transmitted over the Atlantic to me here in Ireland is super impressive, I love your passion. 👌💕
Thanks Mary! Must be the Irish in my blood, lol. Glad to have reached you and thanks for your support!
Awesome !
Lovey red Japanese maple tree I love kind of tree, getting lots Japanese maple seeds to spin over the air !
Good job, Mike !😁👋🌿🌿
Great to catch up on your maple series took your advice got 120 growing from my tree in my own garden so chuffed thanks mike . Be good to see how the original ones you grew are now. All the best to you from England.
I can do an update if you like
Exciting! Love it. Such a suspenseful video.
Glad you enjoyed it, Anna!
Hey Mike, you always have fantastic videos! This Japanese maple seedling is gorgeous! Cheers!
Glad you enjoy it! I'm stoked that I got one of them to germinate and grow on. Can't wait to plant it!
Its crazy that Im on one of these video's Happy that I could offer the seeds and happy he got one to grow strong...:)
O wow. What a gorgeous maple tree .Tou are so blessed to have those leaves. I pray they take. Blessed blessed blessed!!!!!!
Looking forward to getting it planted out in the landscape.
Loved the video Mike. 👍🏻
Thanks, John!
It's beautiful!
well one out of seven is still a win love that peach pink color and man did that thing just spring up like a rocket great work mike!
Thanks, Tony! Yeah, I was happy to at least get the one and when Dan told me to keep it, I was even happier. I'll definitely have to plant this one out in my landscape and show updates occasionally.
I found your video informative and I will be using some of your techniques to get a batch started here in Colorado...but indoors. Thanks
Indoors is a great way to go too. Dan starts his indoors and gets fantastic results.
I started trying to germinate Japanese maples 3 years ago using your method and only got about 3 sprouts. I've had much greater success sowing directly into a flat covering with about 1/4th inch soil and leaving in a protected spot outside all winter but your videos gave me the confidence to get started.
I've had years like you describe. I'm actually working on a video right now that will show your method of just sowing them in fall and leaving outdoors. It won't be ready until next spring/summer.
Great outcome! 💓
I'm certainly glad to have the one!
Thank you very much for your videos.
I have wonderful garden because I learnt a lot from your videos.
That makes me so happy to hear!
One tree can become many trees. Great video Mike.
That's my thinking exactly, Shannon! We just preserved the genetics for future projects.
Dan knew that you'll manage to save them. And he was right.
So glad he was right too. Barely made it with 1 seedling, lol.
Hi Mike it’s Bobby Meyer.... Love the video ....love the trees ....I hope they survive.....I’ll give you a little bit of insight here..... Japanese maples die for from verticillium wilt...well One of the ways that I found to avoid getting for psyllium wilt... make sure and I stress this to everyone I meet .....make sure that you have what I call “super drainage dirt”.... I use 60% lava rock 25% sand and the rest dirt compost or bark (you can wash the lava rock off if you want to but it’s not necessary)..... put a slow release fertilizer in the mix while you’re mixing dirt or you will be fertilizing all the time because there’s not a lot of nutrients in the mix... Japanese maples are considered a drought tolerant plant....some of them never needing to be watered after three years in the ground... do not use homemade compost unless you know for sure that that compost has been heated to over 200° in its internal temperature.... also if you suspect for “psyllium wilt” put hydrogen peroxide in your water when watering .... that is 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to 1 gallon of water.... try to not use the hydrogen peroxide solution too much, because the plants will get immune to it... and then “you”have no secret weapon left....lol..... I also found that when planting into the ground???? take a whole lot of lava rock and put it in the bottom of the hole first, Cover rock with some form of screen or fabric first... then plant on top of it.... by the way lava rock is very inexpensive and can be delivered to your farm or house..... good luck and have fun....
Super seed. Supercede. I see you Mike
Worth all the effort. That seedling goes from dark green to purple, through to red, orange and yellow. A real beauty.
It's a nice one! I'm looking forward to seeing it develop.
Hey , one is better than none! That's a beautiful one, grow this one and propagate it and I will buy one from you. Can't wait to see it grow! Hugs
I know, me too. I think I'll do some grafting of it when the tree gets big enough.
Why grafting?
Wooooow, beautiful tree mate 👍
Hey thanks, Vijay! So glad I was able to get one started. It's all thanks to Dan.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks Mike for the reply, really enjoy your videos.. though i had subscribed to your channel a year ago or more, i wasn't able to view your videos often on my youtube recommend list...so, i enabled the notification bell for your channel, your channel would be the first i have enabled notification for ..i have also just now followed you on instagram.. looking forward to your videos..
Yours plant lover,
Vijay
thanks to dan that he knew the man who could handle the seeds and establish 1 maple. very kool, mike. keep it safe. carmine p,
Oh yeah, looking forward to planting this one and growing it out on the property. I'm sure I'll have videos to come with this one.
Your right that's what gardening is all about trial an era atleast you got one makes it all worth it and thats a total positive 👍
Very cool video. As normal . Can't wait to see the grow room start up
I might have something else in the works when it comes to lighting. The pepper grow is going to happen but the lighting company is in the balance still.
@@MikeKincaid79 well it's been very enlightening series. It's really been illuminating alot of stuff. Can't wait till you find the right light and put down roots.
That plant is really pretty
We can all thank Dan!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
@@MikeKincaid79
I ordered maple seeds online few months ago, about 12 seeds, then followed their instructions left them in ziplock with little bit of soil, leaves and other things in a fridge for 3 months to sprout or open up...well nothing happened. But I planted them anyway and I think 1 actually caught on. there is two tiny leaves barely poking out of the soil. Im really keeping my fingers crossed..... After I did all that I saw your video and how hard it is to grow the online seeds I lost all hope, but i might be lucky and get 1 !
You should write a book about gardening. Gardening, in general. Or multiple books covering different aspects of gardening and nature. Not tryna stroke your ego lol but i would totally buy them. I have been a gardener since i could stand up but i still learn something new when i watch your videos. So, thank you very very much. For real, write a book lol. Namaste, brother.
Thanks Matthew, maybe I'll start working on something. Hard to know where to start but I could just start by using my videos as a format.
So beautiful! I'm so glad that one of them worked!
I'm so sad to hear that those people tore up that absolutely beautiful maple tree though.
I was sad to hear it too. Dan actually took some video of it and I can't find it now but it was gorgeous. Sometimes I wonder why people do the things they do.
Thanks Mike. I love Japanese Maples and Evergreen trees and large shade trees (Im a tree guy in general i guess). I have a ton of evergreens on my property I would love to try and collect and seed. Do you have any videos on starting evergreen seeds? Ive played around a little bit, but never had any success. Ive like spruce trees the best, but I have a lot of pines and firs on the property. Thanks for the videos!
You're welcome, Ty! I love trees as well. I don't have any video on evergreen seeds but plenty of videos on hardwood cuttings of evergreens. Maybe I need to work on some seed videos.
I'd give almost anything up to get one of those maples! Gorgeous
Well, maybe in a few years I'll have either seeds or grafted maples of this one.
@@MikeKincaid79 and I'd gladly buy a couple!
We have a dozen beautiful Japanese maples in our yard, but none as spectacular as this one! Breathtaking for sure. Please let us all know via your RUclips channel when you make seeds or grafts available - we would be VERY interested in purchase.
Hi Mike. Do you know what’s the name of the variety of this maple tree in your video? It’s reaaaaally gorgeous! I don’t know if I can find it in Germany though.
I’ve been trying to propagate the Japanese maple from cuttings, that I’ve picked and cut from my neighboring town, as I want to turn them into bonsais, Not sure if it would work though.
I really love your channel - it’s fun to watch and follow along :)
Thanks, Jose, glad you enjoy the videos! If you can find seeds in your neighborhood then you should be able to get them to germinate. Fresh seeds are the best. I'm not sure of the variety of Dan's maple and I don't think he knows either.
Great video! Maybe if you would do the stratification process yourself you may have better luck. I'm just thinking. I've got some Japanese red maples and I'll send you some in the fall.
Dan does a great job with them. I think the problem was the length of time they sat in a warm post office.
Maybe do some grafted cuttings of the Dan Maple, I would be interested in one.
Sounds like a great idea. It'll be a few years.
Hi ! Just want to know what soil you use also what’s that u deep into the end of yr cutting? Thank you👍🏻🌷💖more blessings & subscribers to you🙏🏻🙏🏻
I use Hormodin #3 rooting hormone. The medium is fine fir bark.
Hi Mike, thanks fro your acer videos, they're great. I'm going to try and grow an acer from seed this autumn. Silly question but should i wait for the seeds to fall from the acers in November or can i pick them from the trees?
You can pick them from the trees but wait until you see the first leaves start to fall so that you know the seeds are fully ripe.
Mike Kincaid Great tip, thank you!
He needs to graft that tree! Maybe try air layering on it too before the guy gets rid of it! No guarantee those seedlings will produce offspring true to seed like the parent. Hopefully it will. That is a special Japanese maple to do that.
I thought so too. Time will tell.
@@MikeKincaid79 I would happily buy a grafted tree from the parent if I could get one.
Hi Mike - thanks for all you do for us Japanese Maple lovers. Question: I have a red laceleaf japanese maple growing in our front yard (medium size) that I bought from Home Depot 2 years ago. It's already producing seeds this year (April 2021). Is it possible to tell from the looks of the seeds whether these seeds will also produce laceleaf seedlings and trees in future? or if the parent laceleaf I bought from Home Depot was grafted (with a different genetic makeup) and the offsprings will actually be another color even. Thanks.
When it comes to seeds, I couldn't begin to tell you what they'll become, lol. Just too much genetic diversity when it comes to seeds.
I just germinated my first one in a few days ,I wrapped it in a damp paper towel now I’ve planted it.
Awesome
How old is that little beauty.!! Amazing colour.
It was just a few months old in this video. It's 1 year this spring. I plan to plant it out in my landscape now.
Can yo make a video on specifically Japanese maple cuttings, how to take them, hardwoodsemisoft etc, the humidity , the stem thickness, temperature etc.
You're right, I should do this sometime.
@@MikeKincaid79 Awesome. I have took so many and only had 1 root and not sure if it will even make it to next year. I have heard grafting is the best followed by air layering.
I germinated a bag of seeds I collected in France last year after I watched your video. I now have 50 plants lol not sure what I'll do with them all
Awesome! Not knowing what to do with all your new plants isn't a bad problem to have, lol.
Can I put them in there on pot after I take them out of the bag when they have germinated
Hi Mike, would you maby have any advice on growing these acer maples in South Africa? I'm trying to get some seeds and grow them but everyone I've talked to so far have told me to take airlairings of the plant rather than growing from seed. The problem is that I can't find a parent plant yet. Though I'm still looking! But I had another question, do you know any reliable sources to buy some seeds from that would be able to ship to me? If you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated
Lol, hey Henry🐓sorry, I didn’t have a rooster
Thank you so much for these great video's! I live in Mass and collected beautiful Japanese Maple Seeds last fall, put them in the fridge, and some of them have roots now! So I took the ones with roots out and planted them in little pots(indoors) Right now my big compost pile is still frozen, so I put them in regular organic potting soil, will that work? I left the rest in the fridge, and hopefully I will be able to use the compost soil for them!
Yes, compost will work well for seeds. Seeds don't need an inert material to grow. They need nutritious soils like compost. I only recommend inert materials for cuttings. Have fun!
@@MikeKincaid79 The first little seedling came up this morning! So exciting! Thank you for your reply!
Hey Mike, the videos are awesome! I followed your maples from seeds here in Denver. Its already August and mine are still really small and way behind your video 5 at the August timing. I am a bit worried there is not enough growth and time to hard off the stems for winter.
I am not sure my issue is due to my climate and my shade cloth. But do you have any insight to help get my little maples going?
Those little seedlings are hardier than you may think. Size doesn't matter, lol. They should harden off in the winter and will take off with a lot of new growth in the spring. Just keep feeding and watering them through the summer. Also, the more light, the more growth, but don't immediately put them in direct sun or it could kill them.
Mike Kincaid Hahahah. You sure size doesn’t matter? Lol jk.
You’re the best and thanks for the quick response!
Mike Kincaid question. My maple leave seedlings slowly loose their color and die. Do you know what can cause this? The seedlings are still producing new growth and the stems are slowly growing too.
I have a shade cloth they sit under. I’m not sure if they should only get 4 hours of sun here in Denver then be moved to complete shade or not. The shade cloth is like 50%. Also, I noticed there is green algae at the bottom and have tried mitigating it with peroxide and fungicide.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Hey Mike. I had a question regarding germinating maple seeds. I've found seeds during current fall, and some already started popping out and showing green seed-like stuff. Can I already plant these in my greenhouse to make them germinate? Or do they also need to be stratified for 3 months like the rest of the seeds?
They need to stratify. I'm not sure what you mean by green seed like stuff.
I'm looking for Dan the fig propagation channel . His video on softwood cuttings. Do you have that channel on your rolldex
Here ya go Robert ruclips.net/video/k0PBLgy8q1k/видео.html
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks a lot. I have been looking for this video every where. I couldn't remember his last name. . I couldn't remember whether he lived in Massachusetts or Michigan. The closest I got was that maybe he is the same person as fig alcoholic but I dismissed that as a long shot . In desperation I sought out other channels on soft wood propagation and the link channel I give below does experiment in water propagation where I learned its best not to change the water and its best to expose the root to light he keeps his under artifical light for 15 hours a day and he uses the same worthless rooting hormone that I use which he demonstrates does work for faster root formation but over a 7 month period the cutting with root hormone is no better than cutting w/o rooting hormone. Also he demonstrates that humid air is more effective that water Emerson of hard wood cuttings in his video on Jade plant propagation ( I'm not sure if jade plant qualifies as hard wood cutting but I'm going to try humid air on Mulbery hard wood cuttings in a glass jar with gravel and water where the water level is well below the surface of the gravel and place the hardwood cuttings on the gravel and depend on the humidity only for the root growing zone .

Have you ever done a propagation or seed growth of a madrone tree. This is my favorite tree and would love more info on this. Do you think I could propagate one?
I've never done it but I've been asked about these trees by one other guy so I guess it's time to get around to that project.
That would be awesome! I’ll do it with you that will be fun! Thanks Mike!
Here is your like. 🖒
thanks Louis
That parent maple was sooo pretty and my youngest daughter sooo wants one for her yard. I'm going to suggest that she try germinating her own. She will make me do it, so challenge accepted. 🙂
Awesome! I believe in you, Darla!
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks so much. Appreciate it.👍🌱
Mike, when are you going to get into daylilies and daylily hybridizing? (;
I've got a few daylilies and love them. I suppose it's only a matter of time before I have some videos up.
oh what a great idea. I do it often but sadly I just bought a home and have very few day lilies. It's really fun and fun to see what you get out of them
@@truthofthematter9409 Put them in the sunniest spot possible with tons of Compost and divide them every other year. You'll have a carpet of strong beautiful lilies in no time! I started with one ten years ago, and I have several hundred now!
@@monkeygraborange Yes! I brought a small clump of each from my old home. I took a bit of most of my plants I had there. I think I have more now... and know I'll have a load of lilies soon enough
@@truthofthematter9409 👍
Hi! Can I use pine bark soil conditioner instead of fine fir bark for germinating seeds? They're available everywhere where I'm at and a whole lot cheaper! Thanks!
That should work just fine.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you! 👍🏼
Mike Kincaid question. My maple leave seedlings slowly loose their color and die. Do you know what can cause this? The seedlings are still producing new growth and the stems are slowly growing too.
I have a shade cloth they sit under. I’m not sure if they should only get 4 hours of sun here in Denver then be moved to complete shade or not. The shade cloth is like 50%. Also, I noticed there is green algae at the bottom and have tried mitigating it with peroxide and fungicide.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
I'm confused. You said the seedlings are dying but then you said they are still growing?
Mike Kincaid lol, yea. It’s a very reductive explanation as I am no expert in this area.
The seedling are growing slowly, and have begun to grow faster after giving them some liquid food several weeks ago. What tends to happen is new growth comes in vibrant green/red, but the older, established leaves begun to slowly lose color and die. Almost speckled looking.
It looks like sun scorch, but I only water at night and get morning sun. then rest of the day they sit in dapple light. After you sent the first response(month ago), I noticed days later a green algae type, but don’t think this is a cause bc this issue has been present before that. There not much info out there and trying to read all I can to figure out why this might be happening. Maybe Denver’s extreme dry environment is hard on new seedlings?
Hi Mike! I've been propagating plants in pots with pine bark like you do. Do you do any kind of fungus or disease control on the pots? Some of my pots have started to get what I believe is called slime mold. And I see my bark delivery is showing the same. Thanks!
I don't do anything special for diseases control with the cuttings. Just spray out my containers with water and use fresh medium. I am working on a video about your question right now though because I get that question a lot. We'll see how things turn out.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks! Yeah for me the cutting are fine it's the bark medium itself. Some is totally fine but now I'm starting to get a few w weird mold growing on them, its definitely from the bark medium itself. The raw pile is starting to show signs of mold as well. It's been delivered 12 months ago
I've got 2 butterfly acer palmatum that do not get hurt by late spring frost and freeze. Not sure how but no matter how cold or leaved out they are they never get frost bit when all the others get fried or killed.
Bonus!
New subscriber here. Hope you read this. Is there any possible way to get some seeds from that tree? I would be honored to have the opportunity to carry on the legacy of that beautiful tree
I may offer some at some time but it's not old enough to produce seed yet. I'll probably plant it in the ground this coming spring.
@@MikeKincaid79 I'll mark my calendar. Please keep me in mind. I will order as soon as they are available.
Based on leaf structure and outstanding color I suspect it is an Acer palmatum “osakazuki”?
Thanks, I'll look into it!
I wonder if the issue could be that some of these species are actually grafted onto different root stock. Most of the Japanese maples I see in Michigan are grafted. With mature trees it can be often hard to spot.
Many of the more delicate Japanese maples have to be grafted because the roots do not winter well.
I think you're right in some of the cases but with these seedlings, I think the problem was that they spent too much time in the mail and germinated prior to planting.
hello sir . where to buy maple seed.? please
Have you considered doing what he did; to send them to people who are willing to purchase a bag of fresh seedlings and looking to plant themselves? I live in South Mississippi, and looking for these (besides ordering from walmart.com) is pretty hard to find.
I hear ya and I wish I could but I get so many requests for them and there aren't enough seeds to go around, LOL. It would turn into a full time job for me. I suppose that if the price reflected my time for collecting them then it would be worth it but I think they'd end up costing more than they're worth. Dan is a friend of mine and he sent seeds just for this purpose. You might be able to meet someone on the Facebook group that is willing to send seeds. Thanks for asking.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you for responding. I understand what you mean about it turning into a full-time job. You have many people who follow you and your methods and want to get started the "correct way" (no dry seeds). I think I may also purchase a tree from Lowe's in my area. An affordable one is small, but I hope to learn how to grow it into a healthy tree. My last name is Lovett, see, and I wanted to get a tree that fits me. I own many plants and have been teaching myself as much as I can in hopes of one day having an Acer japonicum 'Lovett'. Thank you for your videos. They are insightful.
Hi Mike. Was wondering if you have any extra japanese maple seeds hanging around? I live in Mass and keep missing seeding time. Would love to try and grow some from seed.
I actually don't, sorry. You've got to catch me earlier in the season. All the trees are now leafless and seedless around here and the ones I did collect are in the middle of an experiment.
@@MikeKincaid79 when is the best time to get seeds?
Right before the leaves all fall off the trees. I collected mine about a month ago.
@@MikeKincaid79 oh ok. Guess that explains why i could not get any lol. Was looking in the spring time like the regular maple trees
I love Japanese red maples. When I lived in the SF Bay Area I had 3 of them. Don't think I'd try here in Pheonix.
Haha, yeah, it's a little warm in Phoenix. That's my original home town so I understand the heat you're dealing with. You'd probably do better with figs and oleander.
@@MikeKincaid79 I just tore out a bunch of Oleander along my back wall (west-facing) and hoping to put in a lemon and orange trees in their place though I'm concerned about that wall and afternoon heat.
@@JeremyBolanos We use to have orange trees when I was growing up in Phoenix. Wish I could grow citrus here but just not enough heat. Is your wall white or dark colored? If it's white or beige then it may not collect too much heat, although everything in Phoenix collects heat, lol.
@@MikeKincaid79 Its very beige. I have a giant (GIANT) grapefruit tree that is the only tree on the property. I had hoped it was an orange tree when I bought it. But its too big to replace. So I'm going to go with a couple of dwarfs or well-groomed citrus trees against the back wall far enough away from the pool.
I would be interested to purchase some of the seeds or seedlings from you!
When that time comes, I'll make an announcement. Hope you follow me for the long haul cause it may be few years, lol.
I'm just glad I found your site! I plan on following.
Thanks for the quick response.
Hello, I would like to know where can I get seeds of Japanese red maple? I've been looking on internet but just I don't know if the websites are trusted. Any help would be appreciated.
My recommendation is to buy a couple small trees on ETSY or Ebay and plant them. In a few years you'll have more seeds than you know what to do with.
Hi Mike , question for you once you plant the seeds in the soil and you covered up for birds where would you store the container?? I don’t have that white big tarp/greenhouse could it be stored in the garage? or out in the backyard in a corner where there isn’t too much wind? covered maybe with a glass? Do you water it throughout the winter?? should I bring it in the house have them sit underneath a window on the floor?? can you plz make elaborate a little bit more on where “ordinary people” that don’t have green houses or garden nurseries just regular home people where they can store the seedlings...... send you a big hug and a thanks in advance
Hello, Edith! When you say "ordinary" people, I'm going to assume you are calling me "extraordinary" haha, thanks! Just kidding. You don't need to worry about the birds once the seedlings have grown on through the summer. The birds just go after the little sprouts. I recommend leaving them outside and letting them go dormant. You want to put them in a place that is protected from rain and heavy wind so a back porch that is covered will work or a garage or shed. You don't need to water heavily through the winter but once a month or maybe even every 2 months, just give them a light watering, enough to keep the soil lightly moistened.
Mike Kincaid LOL love your come back, thanks Mike so much for replying , and replying so quick with your information that was perfect and I love your videos
Hey Mike, I managed to germinate some seeds earlier in the year, however it’s been about 4 months and they haven’t grown nearly as much as I had expected, only 2-3 sets of leaves. Do you have any advice or maybe a reason for this? Thanks
Great job, Michael! They don't put on much growth the first summer after germinating, although they will grow more through the remainder of summer. Once they've gone through their first winter and hardened off, and if you fertilize in the early spring, they will take off next summer and put on a lot of growth.
Mike Kincaid Thanks for the reply, that’s good to hear, I have about 50 seedlings currently, cannot wait for them to start putting on some nice growth next year. Love your videos on maples!!
I needed to know how to do that cause I have tried and tried and it hasn't worked. Thanks so much.
You're welcome!!
I know you have helped me out a lot but this is a very important question is it ok to plant Japanese maple saplings in cow manure or not ok
Only if it's completely composted.
@@MikeKincaid79 what does composted mean
I like to watch you vedio
Thank you, Juliet!
can u try to propagate japanese maple tree from cuttings
I've done it. The best method is as softwood cuttings under intermittent mist in the early summer.
What kind of soil can i buy to grow my seedlings in to go in my pots? Japanese maple seedlings ......
Any potting soil will do.
What slow-released fertilizer formula have you poured?
It's a commercial fertilizer that I get in 50# bags. I have a video about it if you search the channel.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks. I´ll look for it
When in doubt, use Bio-Tone. It rocks!
well, we got wallopped by the hurricane as I said mike. the electric just came on at 5;30 this morning. every county in this area was down and it was super hot and damp. glad that over with. now, what's next. carmine p.
Dang, glad to hear you're OK, Carmine. I've never been through a hurricane so I've only seen video of them on TV and they look like an awful thing for anyone to have to experience. Glad the power is back on.
I have an unusual Japanese maple that I would love to propagate from cuttings, is it possible? When I bought it it was grafted and about 11" tall! Now it is about 16 feet (11 years later).
Yes, you can root them from cuttings but it's tough and they don't always grow well on their own roots. An easier way would be through air layering or grafting. Sounds like a nice tree, lots of growth in a short time. You must be watering it well.
@@MikeKincaid79 I have not seen one like this tree, the leaves are green with a white/light green pattern that makes them look lacy. I will try air layering several. I was going to prune some branches anyway, I like the look of them best when pruned to throw a cat through them... but I will spare my cat the trauma!
These are my hydrangea rootings what should I do? Put them in a larger pot?
Can’t add a picture.
If the roots are filled out in the pot then yes, up pot them to something larger.
Mike Kincaid the roots are forming in the air above soil level🙃
Mike Kincaid the Roos are growing off the cutting above the soil line!
If u put the ones already coming out in a big pot and take them out dearing the day and bring them in at night would they make it it’s like in the mid 60 here and 70 range outside
Yes, those are decent growing temps.
Mike Kincaid would they need light at night and would it hurt or be good to leave a light on them at night
I’ve got them outside in my container with a top on it it’s staying over 50 degrees here right now and 50 is the lowest the highest is over 65 degrees is that ok for them
I like to use a light cycle of 14 to 16 hours of light on, and a dark period at night. The temps you mentioned are borderline for getting them to grow well. The 65 is sort of OK but a little cool, the 50 degrees is too cold for them to really thrive. I don't think you'll see a ton of fast growth at those temps but you should see some activity slowly. Kind of mimics early spring temps.
Ok but they will make it at them temperatures
If you add Vietnamese subtitles, it will be very beneficial to me haha, because I want to learn more about this red maple tree but I don't understand foreign languages 😂
I wish I can plant them here in Philippines 😭
I'm sure there are so many beautiful plants that you can grow there.
you have two things i love the RED JAPANESE MAPLES and JOHNNY,,, i need to get some of both dont think the maples will grow in zone 4 but its worth a shot, the chickens will if i could keep the predators away
They take quite a bit of cold. You may surprise yourself at what grows for you there.
I'm in Massachusetts and have grown Japanese red maples. If you're interested I'll be gathering some seeds prior to selling property in the fall I can send some your way. Just get in touch with me. Prestigepaintnwall@gmail.com
@@ginaalwaysavip1177 THANK YOU ! i,ll be sending you an e-mail later today THANK YOU again
@@yoopermann7942 Take your time it's in the 90's today and there's no sign of cooling down. I'll get some photos of the momma tree today. Blessings to you.
@@ginaalwaysavip1177 we are not far behind you in temps as it,s supposed to be in the high 80s and high humidity to boot, i might need to pick up a fan or three
Does Dan sell the seeds of this tree
I'm not sure but I can pass the message along.
Mike- can you send me some seeds or o baby plant pleaseeeeee! I am in London!,
But when you said that the seedlings just as red in that area I am thinking there’s something special about the soil. That seedling you grew just looks like a standard Japanese maple color.
Might be the soil
That one tree should be adjusted in its pot now so that the root ball doesn't grow one sided. You'll get better growth next year if you do that now.
I don't want to do anything to disturb it right now, being as it's the only tree. I may plant it out next year, we'll see.
bisakah saya mendapatkan seeds yang telah melewati natural germinating?
sulit mendapatkan seeds yang bagus dari online shop
(indonesia language)
Terima kasih telah bertanya tetapi saya tidak menjualnya. Anda dapat membeli pohon dan menanamnya dan dalam beberapa tahun Anda akan memiliki banyak benih.
JOHNNY 2020!!
That's about it, lol.
Is it true that japanese maples dont like direct sunlight?
They do fine in direct sun if well mulched and watered frequently. In fact, they will achieve their most brilliant colors in full sun. I prefer the growth habit more when they have a little shade. It causes them to stretch a little more and opens them up making them look more delicate.
I have mine under a covered porch is that ok
Absolutely, Trey. Did you get some to germinate this year?
Mike Kincaid a lot
If I’m going to keep them in the house is 65 to 75 degrees a good temperature to keel them at germinating seeds
Yes, that's perfect.
@@MikeKincaid79 ok cuz my plan is to put them in there on pot in March by March it will be time for them to go outside right now I don’t have a green house and it’s kinda difficult to get them right lol u have been a big help to me
To add we have central heat and air so do u thank it would hurt them to have them 65 degrees to 75 degrees in the house
And I’ve already got a lot in my container already that’s why I was asking is 65 to 75 degrees a good temperature cuz I can’t take them outside right now cuz of the cold weather
Sounds like perfect temps for them.
It's a shame that the owners of that lovely Japanese Maple didn't offer to let someone come in with a tree spade to try to save the tree! My brother hired someone with a tree spade to relocate trees for him, and most of them are alive and thriving. My sister-in-law dubbed that process, Daryl's musical trees! He did that several years and relocated over 100 trees on his wooded acreage. ~Margie
Now that's a really cool idea!
hello where can we buy maple seeds
You can buy dry seeds on Ebay but I recommend collecting fresh seeds in the fall.
ok
thank you
Need better root stock?
I think the long trip in the postal system was the problem. The seeds started germinating and growing before they got to me.
😂✨
Can I have some of your seeds ?😍🥰
I don't sell them but I recommend buying 2 little trees and planting them. In a few years, you'll have all the seeds you need.
That is called vercillium wilt....
Thanks, I'll check it out.
You will notice the color and size difference.... when I first moved up to the Pacific Northwest(10yrs) I lost a lot of plants due to it being very wet ....not realizing that that’s what was killing the plants was the water content in the plant buckets... some plants like lots of drainage and Japanese maples are one of them ... sure Cedars
and make a bonsai, please.
Got lots of rootstock to do that with but Dan's maple is getting planted out on the property. I suppose I could graft a scion from the tree as it gets older and turn that tree into a bonsai.
I have had 0% success rate trying to grow JP 😔. I even plucked some seeds from the neighbors tree, so they were fresh, and nothing so far. I dunno what the heck I'm doing wrong. 😭
I've got a series about growing them. They are very simple to grow so don't give up. You need to pick fully mature seeds in the late fall when the leaves start dropping from the tree and then put them immediately in a plastic bag and into the fridge for 3 or 4 months. Then just plant them after the danger of frost has past and they should germinate. You could also plant them indoors if you're worried about the cold weather.
Does anyone know what kind of Japanese maple this is
Dan does, LOL. I'll have to ask him.
You mean Acer palmatum atropurpureum ??????
Difinitely looks like Acer palmatum osakazuki
We want to get help from you, we want to learn something from you
Great! I'll keep putting out videos!!!
