- The Japanese Maple Gardening pot or ground? Practical advice on whether you should plant your Japanese Maples in the ground or leave them in pots. My advice is to leave them on pots for a year or two because you can see their:
- Growth rate
- Habit
- Sun tolerance
In the ground cultivar choice is even more important!
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.

I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve been thinking about adding a Japanese maple to my garden ❤
Glad to have you on board and hope you find it useful! I’ve just subscribed to your channel. Carl
You can put them in a really large pot which gives the tree the impression it's in the ground, grows like it but you can still move the large pot around till the tree is happy
You certainly can, so long as you progress up the pot sizes slowly 👍
Thank you for another wonderful and informative video sir. you have helped me with my maples quite a bit.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and I'm really glad you find the content helpful. It inspires me to do more! Carl
Great video. A lot of what you talked about answer questions I hear all the time on maple groups. Thanks for making this video.
Very kind of you to comment and glad that sharing my personal experiences helps people. Carl
My orange dream is in full sun and it’s stunning.
My orange dream is in clay soil and has grown massively! If we get past and drainage issues, the clay is full of nutrients
Carl, thank you for sharing this valuable information and excellent ideas you learned from your hard work. Now wish I would have kept several in pots longer! Best wishes to you❤
Thanks so much for the feedback and really glad you found the video beneficial. Carl ❤
Thanks for the good suggestions. I’m in agreement as to allowing some of the one, two, three gallons first develop in pots before plantings
Thanks Ron good to hear it works for you too ! Carl
And yes my back Garden is clay soil and my Bloodgood loves it. I was very surprised at the grow rate in the last 3 years. It wasn’t much thicker than a few twigs when I planted it. Now it’s 2/3’s the height of the fence
Once they get there roots down they really take off!
Yes, agree, pot for a couple of seasons then prepare the ground and plant .
I've had a lot of success doing this!
Thanks for posting and good to know that this is working for you too. Carl
I have just discovered your channel; so I will be following along.
@@niccat7051 that’s great and glad to have you join my journey into Maples 👍
great tips! I'm so sick of winter already bring on spring and the amazing leaf colours!
Thanks and 100% agree 👍
So do I!!!! But I do have a corallinum that still miraculously still has its autumn coloured leaves on show.
I love watching your videos.
May I ask how long acers can stay in pots? I really like them but don’t have space in the garden.
Hi there and glad you’re enjoying the content. The answer is indefinitely really, every few years they will need a bigger pot or root pruning, but I have seen examples decades old 👍
Hi, is this (may) a good time to plant into the clayish ground? I keep hearing contradictory advice re Spring! What drainage material do you recommend? Really appreciate all your resources thank you ☺️
In my opinion I have no issue with planting now, as the weather here in the Uk seems to be getting dryer. I may in fact be planting a tree myself soon, but do advise planting a tree that’s 3-4 years old and a bit more established. I have fairly clay soil, so I will put a couple of inches of pebbles under the root ball, making sure the final height is just above ground level. No doubt I will do a video on this 👍
Thank you! I'd love to know where the concern about traumatising the roots by potting this time of year come from.. surely it can't be worse than being shipped! Really appreciate your reply and look forward to that video, thank you!
Yes thanks, Carl. I'm a maple addict with about 57 of them all in pots.
What advice do you give about compost for repotting now in view of the peat free advice which so far I have disregarded aa my peat based composts have been so successful.
Compost wise I have always used a 50/50 mix of John Innes no. 3 and ericaceous compost. Never been an issue for me either, apart from it hangs on to moisture well, so great in the summer but not wise to over pot. From speaking to growers the only thing they really hate is alkaline soil. Thanks for posting, Carl
Mate, what soil would I need for a large mapel tree on ground?
What type of soil is the ground please ?
