That seiryu was in a bad location and I intentionally did leave it there far too long. I will also be doing another video in the spring of 2025 when I do a repot into a bigger container as the pot is only temporary for the fall / winter months. Currently the tree is doing just fine in the greenhouse
@@maplesandmusic You did a good job of explaining it, and the root pruning part was very helpful to me. These trees are so delicate looking -- I had no idea that most were also very resilient. I want to be more like a Japanese maple in 2025! Speaking of which, Happy New Year!
Yes, Actually I am planning to do a second part to the video in spring. I will be placing it into quite a large pot for a final resting home on the property and I will be doing a video of the whole process
Very informative, thanks. Wish the lighting had been a bit better. I find pruning a bit nerve-wracking but this was helpful info. Made such a difference to that little tree😊
Thank you, and yes, the lighting on the pruning was tough as that fall sun sits quite low and I don’t have the same camera crew that the major television networks have😎
Thanks for the video. I like to follow this along in Spring and so on. I would love to see success and help give me some confidence. What fertilizer will you use next spring and do you use the same on your other maples/trees?
Thanks for the video. I work at a tree nursery and I’ll definitely recommend it to folks who are scared of moving their trees. I just moved a 6’ chamaecyparis last week. Different root system, quite fibrous, but also pretty shallow. I recommend you get yourself a Rootslayer shovel if you need to remove trees somewhat frequently. It was recommended to me by a fellow maple lover and it really made transplanting my tree super easy-and no, I don’t work for them but it truly is a very solid and useful tool. Cheers!
@@1ronhall We use the same slow release type of fertilizer on every tree in the spring (osmocote 16-10-10). I do have a separate video explaining the type of fertilizer and how to apply, Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/TQJmG25HKbw/видео.html
This can be done as soon as the tree is moving into its dormant state ( mid October ) right thru until early March before the spring buds start to open up. Most important is that the ground is not frozen, other then that, you are good to go
You’re a beast with those Felcos 😆

@@04Serena and a very happy new year to you as well
Please do a video of this in the spring once it’s fully leafed out!

@ excellent I can’t wait. I can’t believe a tree that large can have a root ball so small and still thrive.

Really loved this video! Learned a lot…Thank you!
thanks! glad it was useful for you

@@maplesandmusicI completely understand. Partly my eyesight, anyway🙂

I’m surprised not done while dormant? Just before bud break.
