Separate names with a comma.
Both of these plants still have the remains of the fibrous plug they started life in and I know what you mean about the soil. I've experimented...
Full root wash! I've never done that. I'll put it on the to do list. I stuck some 5ft specimens in the ground three years ago. The ones that I...
Thanks for both answers. I agree that the foliage looks healthy. However, the roots worry me. When I pot I aim to get the first root at soil...
Better close up of the Mikawa ystsubusa
Hi, I've been growing acers for years in pots and when they get too big I stick them in the ground. I discovered a nursery in Derbyshire, UK with...
Thank you all for your replies, which have answered my questions comprehensively. The Barthelemy catalog is a real find. Thanks again!
Here are some photos from May of various A. palmatum cultivars. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have quite a large collection of shop-bought cultivars. I have two related questions that will help me get started propagating. 1. My...
Thanks for the reminder. Mine is coming into leaf and it is time to get the fungicide applied. It needs several treatments early in the season...
Thanks. Great reply. I've never seen a white fly on an acer, although there was plenty of blackfly on the mock orange. I think it is iron...

Hi, This year I have noticed blotchy leaves on two Katsura trees in containers. One is 5ft and the other is just a baby less than a foot tall....
Thanks, that is great information. I lived 6 years in Boston and when I arrived I was struck by the range of tools and machines and the way a...
In fact, I have to confess that I lost my favorite tree this spring, a 6 foot Sumi nagashi, through lack of watering. A lot of plants, such as...
Thanks Acerholic, It has been in the pot a while and all my specimens are probably in need of root pruning this winter. I plant in a mixture of...
I agree with that. I always err on the high side when planting. Sometimes I plant in a little mound and once the tree is established I expose...
Hi, I would be grateful for any advice on what might be wrong with my garnet. It has been magnificent in previous years. But this year it...
I think it will be fine. The graft can range from invisible to worse than what you have. It depends on the age at which it is done and the...
