Quite a helpful no nonsense video. I'm growing one as a container plant in Zone 4, Minnesota. It has survived it's first year, purchased as high graft (2'). It''s currently overwintering in an unheated greenhouse. Minimum temps are around 25 F. Can't wait to see how it leafs out this spring.
Just picked this beautiful tree up. It’s my first time planting anything. Live in 8B or 9 (Seattle, WA). Bought a container 26inched width and 17 inches deep. Hopefully large enough? Plan to plant it facing east and will be covered from the south. That should help with not getting too much sun. Granted, Seattle doesn’t see much anyhow :). Any tips you have I would appreciate it! This is the best video on maples out there. Thanks!
I live in zone 5 and our is planted in direct sun. Not a good situation as the leaves burn every year. We have now planted other ornamental trees with taller height to help protect our crimson Queen Japanese Crimson lace from direct sun light.
I live in Illinois and my Japanese maple died from the -50 below temps we got this winter I’m guessing? It was at least 5-10 years old. We dug it out, and want to put another one there. Anything different we should do if we plant in mid-August? When to fertilize? Type of dirt to use? Fertilize now or in winter when it’s asleep? Thanks so much!!!!
Hey Jim I love watching Hortube. Question, my Crimson Queen has leafs wilting after transplanting it into a bigger pot. I monitor it closely and it seems that it has new wilting leaves every other day. I used 60% pine bark mulch, 35% screened compost and 5% peat-moss as potting soil. It's located where it gets morning sun and afternoon. I'm in zone 6b. I know it's vague info but have you seen this happen before with Crimson Queen maples? Thank you! Also it's worth mentioning that I got it from the nursery 1 week ago.
thank you so much for the response! One more thing, should I be worried about the pine bark mulch? Here in the Boston area it's soo hard to find the one that you use in your videos so I decided to settle for mulch type pine bark from a big box store. Not sure if the added pieces of wood will have a longterm negative effect on my tree.
Hi there I have a 9 foot japanese maple. I noticed a couple branches were dead last year. This year none of the branches bloomed. After some research I noticed that the plastic i put at the base of the tree could have cause the trees roots to be too wet for too long. Do I just need to cut all of the branches back and wait a few years to see if it blooms again? Please help. I am DEVASTATED! 😱😳😓😥😢
Just planted one last week, and it's been in the 90's since then. I don't know if it's getting too much water, or needs water, .The leaf are shriveling up, yet are dying on the tips. Need help if you could. Thanks Helen Phillops
I planted this same maple 2 months ago in Middle georgia, approximately 18 inchs tall when planted , its on a slight slope with very sandy , reddish clay with some white clay (kaolin) mixed in...I actually been watering it 3 times a week, what im getting at its been 2 months and its already twice the size and new branches approx 12 inches of growth, and also 6 inches taller is this uncommon to grow this quick. ( Its planted in the ground not a container)
I am in zone 7b and I have one at the front entrance with the same hours of sun. The leaves did not get crispy but the leaves turn green in the hot summer sun. Then in the fall, they turn a beautiful crimson. They are also bright crimson in spring.
My very old large one gets sunburned because the tree that sheltered it is getting very old and has lost branches. So no, not full sun in Asheville NC. It is 15’ wide and about 12’ tall now.
I cant grow a store bought Japanese maple to save my life but i can buy one, trim it and root the cuttings like nobodys business and theyll take. I never understood why but nursery grown Japanese maples just will not survive with me
It's always wonderful to have a tree that is as decorative as flowers.
Just got my first Japanese maple and it's this variety! I'm so excited I'm going to put it in a container in zone 6

Very helpful actually.
Very helpful video! I recently planted one.
Do you have a video on pruning the Crimson Queen?
We have one I'd like to keep small. Thank you for making the videos!
just bought 2 a month ago beautiful plants thank for the info
I just went for it and purchased one...like the container idea

That should all be fine. A small amount of slow release fertilizer will help.
@@JimPutnam Thank you for the response.
I love Japanese maples ..I love the them all ..I have a question which grow the best in 9a and 9b zones up here in northern california
We have one in zone 9! It get's crispy in the fall and is always bright red in Southern California.
Same shit happens to my bloodgood. Virtually no fall color due to the leaves dying by mid August.
Very beautiful in the Spring though.
@@jzizzles7799 In Southern California full shade, these plants act like East Coast plants.
Awesome!
We are zone 8... some leaves aew crunchy. Should i cut those off or just leave it
What is best for zone 9? looking for small shade trees small yard.
I live in zone 5 and our is planted in direct sun. Not a good situation as the leaves burn every year. We have now planted other ornamental trees with taller height to help protect our crimson Queen Japanese Crimson lace from direct sun light.
How do you propagate th Japanese maple tree in your video above??
Which variety is a slow growth red maple?
how do we germinate seeds, stratify ?

Just wondering does the PH matter

It is probably just some transplant shock. Let it dry out between waterings and stop looking at it😂

You said you take off the crimson growth. Why? I am leaving mine on in hope to get a taller and eventually wider plant. Am I wrong in my thinking?
What are the zones he's talking about?
You live in a zone that is based on your winter temperatures. You can google what horticultural zone you live in by zip code
How do they do on the coast? I'm in norther california and really love these trees and want to plant one in my front yard.
Just planted one last week, and it's been in the 90's since then. I don't know if it's getting too much water, or needs water, .The leaf are shriveling up, yet are dying on the tips. Need help if you could. Thanks Helen Phillops

I'm in zone 8 and I would love one at the entrance of my house, but the area gets direct sun from about 10-4. Is that too hot for the crimson queen?
It probably wouldn't kill it, but it would be crispy by mid summer every year.
I am in zone 7b and I have one at the front entrance with the same hours of sun. The leaves did not get crispy but the leaves turn green in the hot summer sun. Then in the fall, they turn a beautiful crimson. They are also bright crimson in spring.
What's the importance of keeping the graft area high and dry ?
The bottom tree can start growing or the graft can stay to wet and fail.
Ok thanks !!
Hi Jim ....question, I want to get a crimson queen, will it survive in full sun it would be planted on the north side of property? zone 7 rdu
My very old large one gets sunburned because the tree that sheltered it is getting very old and has lost branches. So no, not full sun in Asheville NC. It is 15’ wide and about 12’ tall now.
How big does my cuttings need to be from a Japanese Maple to place in the ground next month?
+Katrina Georgia Girl I wouldnt plant them in the ground until next spring, but you could pot them into bigger pots
How do I find out my zone?
Just Google "horticultural zone" with your zipcode. That should answer it
Thank you. Im in zone 8a. How close can it be to the house?
I cant grow a store bought Japanese maple to save my life but i can buy one, trim it and root the cuttings like nobodys business and theyll take. I never understood why but nursery grown Japanese maples just will not survive with me
I learned nothing new.
Thanks for watching. Have a great day!
