Really nice Shishigashira Jonny,congratulations for finding it and at that price it was a win,win deal.
What a coincedence. I bought the same species yesterday. It's 1/3 the size of yours. But for 20 euro's 🙂
The lady at the garden center told me that only a few had arrived. And this one was the last. So I was lucky.
Sweet deal!
what city did you buy your Shishi?
Thank you for very informative channel. I have free compost available by the city I live in. However, I don't think it drains fast enough to be the optimal soil for potting a Japanese maple tree. What would you recommend for making it a more suitable, faster draining soil? Add perlite in different proportions, until I get the pace of draining similar to what is seen on this video?
Add Perlite and soil conditioner (available at garden centers in bags). That is what I have been adding and I like the results so far. Mix enough until you are happy with the drainage.
Thank you for sharing your videos! Do you only water the root ball and not the leaves? I just got 3 Japanese maples and I noticed on other videos that they only water the soil/root ball and not the leaves.
Correct. Don't water the leaves.
@@JonnyMaple Thanks a lot!
