Separate names with a comma.
Not sure if this helps but we would always start the rootstocks out of hibernation just slightly before grafting, this was done on a warm bench....
How about an unusual recommendation that I have.... 'Fior d'arancio' Not sure if that's the correct spelling but I'll send photo of how it looks...
The fact that pruning immediately after leaf fall works as well as your suggested time is hardly imaginary information! I was merely conveying my...
I have found that the only time that I don't get massive sap bleed from pruning ***. Maples is within two to three weeks of leaf fall. Specially...
@monicasanchez The best of wishes to you for Christmas and next year! I'm sure there will be lots of beauty and things to intrigue us in the...
I'm not an expert by any means but I've been in horticulture for forty years. To me it looks almost certainly like insect damage. There's no...
Can anyone remember a post asking identification of a sycamore with huge clumps of bright red samaras? I think it was sycamore but may have been...
@AlainK Thanks for the suggestion and I also thought of Crataegus spp. but this tree has absolutely no thorns. Also the fruit has 4-6 separate...
Beautiful place to walk. (Stormont Park Belfast). I've been trying to ID another interesting specimen in the same grounds if you'd like to have a...

Came across three A. p. Atropurpureums earlier this summer...but now in their autumn colour, two have turned a beautiful shade of peach while the...
I wanted to post a few photos of plants I have combined with Maples for colour harmony and contrast. I would be interested in othe people's...
I use little copper labels and an easy to get hand engraver. Never wears off.
Here's a suggestion I have used myself. Plant a young Acer of your choice nearby to an older existing one. The older will give dappled shade to...
Beautiful samaras from A. p. "Autumn Glory" ready for stratification. I have noticed a scarcity of seeds on jmaples this year in Ireland but glad...
A beautiful mature group at Mountstewart in N Ireland.
@Acerholic One of the easiest to air layer with prolific root growth. Never had success with some jm cvs. like 'Ichi gyogi' despite many attempts.
Another success. Acer cappadocicum 'Aureum' air layers very happily and a great way to get a choice plant.
@zfrittz Hi, just had a random idea that would be interesting to try. Maple syrup has recently been shown to be beneficial when used with...
