I have one in zone 5 Central Illinois and it sent off a tall leader in 17, which died back over the winter. I cut it back and it looks fine, just...
I guess I'll reply to self. I kept researching and stumbled on a note on Eastwood's Nurseries CD of Japanese maples about Beni Fushigi. It was...
Well, I decided to take a chance and put Ryuzu back into the ground. I had a "nice raised" area and I thought it would get just enough sun and not...
I know it is hard to see in this photo, but Beni Fushigi has developed long whips that don't show the described characteristic leaves. I would...
I fought spider mites all summer on mine. By consistantly spraying a hard spray of water on the entire plant, weekly, all summer long. I am happy...
What a great picture. Shows all the diversity. I had Ruby Ridge, loved it, but it didn't come back after the bad winter we had in 2013. I should...
I find it really interesting to hear where people are trying to grow them. Growing in Central Illinois there are challenges due to extreme temps...
I'll probably put it in the ground next spring. It hasn't been in the pot its entire life, just the last two years.
I've grown this for six years and each fall am amazed at the fall color, the mottled leaf. Is anyone else growing this and seeing the same fall...
Wow, I would say that is a lot of growth in two years. It looks good. How challenging is it growing Japanese maples in Boise? I have read in other...
I put it in a container only because is looked like it didn't like where it was planted and was losing leaves with some branches dying back. I am...
I was wondering if anyone is growing A. palmatum 'Ryuzu' successfully? I have had it for several years and just can't seem to get it to thrive. I...
Does everyone agree with this? I have always wondered. It's interesting in this post Sharp's Pygmy is mentioned. I have been growing this since...
This is one of my favorites. I was looking for a dark red, almost black and the color is fantastic. Also very vigorous. Love it.
Purple Ghost is one heck of a plant, in my opinion. I have two and my first I had to chop off the top. In a few years you would never know it. I...
Just as a PS to the post earlier. I have noticed many of mine that have wilted, dead leaves, but behind them the stem looks healthy with new buds...
Somewhere on one of the forums there was a comment about putting a maple in a pot. Something about making the maple feel like it's on on an...
I'll be curious to hear what others say about this because I have had that problem with a few maples here, too. Also, spotty leaf sprout, not just...
I decided to spend the money on one and have never regretted it. It is like a surgeon's tool and even though I do have some container maples, I...
I just love growing maples from seeds. It is really easy. They do need to be collected in the fall, like October (as the previous post mentioned)....
