It's tough to pick the trees you like from a webpage, but hopefully by watching them on video you can get a greater sense of a tree you have your sights set on, or even discover one. Some of the trees in our garden we have available in smaller sizes in the nursery. And we may also be able to source one for you that we don't carry. You can find our tree selection at simplyjapanesemaples.ca/ Please like and subscribe our videos, which helps our business get discovered, giving us the opportunity to continue to bring you more Japanese maple content and of course, offer great Japanese maples for sale.
Beautiful collection! I thoroughly enjoyed this video
Awesome tour! Great collection!
One of the best maple videos out there ,you explain each cultivar , nice one dude , and thank you🍁
Heck of a compliment. Thanks.
Thank you for displaying your Japanese maple and sharing this video.
My pleasure. Just love these trees and happy to share the visual with others who appreciate as well.
It’s great how you name everything off. So many people post silent tours or only name some. Thank you!
The tours without names bother me too.
Beautiful collection. The hit for me is always Mikawa Yatsubusa. Just love the natural bonsai look. The 'Elizabeth' also caught my eye. Congrats.
Thank you. I am a sucker for any of the varieties that have that layered leaf appearance.
Nice collection, they make beautiful bonsai too.
Beautiful.
Wow ! Beautiful collections
Absolutely beautiful varieties!!!! Can you do another walk through in fall?
Alas, I cannot. At least in that garden. That was the garden at my previous home.
Beautiful collection. I’m a mapleholic too. I didn’t see any Shishigashira and Japanese Princess. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
You're right, you didn't see any Shishigashira or Japanese Princess, both of which I have, neither of which I showed. Future video. Two awesome trees though.
My orange dream got scorched by wind a week after the new leaves opened. It’s looking rough since but I plucked all the leaves and we’ll see how the second set looks in a few weeks
That's a bummer. Did you know that at the base of the leaf petiole (the leaf stem) there is a bud waiting in case the leaf petiole and leaf fall off? Pretty cool stuff. So, ya, your tree looks like heck but it will rebound. Too bad you didn't get to enjoy it.
@@SimplyJapaneseMaples I did know that. That’s why I plucked the dead leaves. Thanks for the reply. I enjoy your videos. I will be tuned in and sub’d for the future.
Well stick a fork in me, I'm done! That was amazing!
Lol. Thanks. Just trying to showcase my young business and the landscaping around my nursery. Glad you emphatically enjoyed.
Video rất hay cảnh rất đẹp tuyệt vời cảm ơn bạn chia sẻ luôn luôn đồng hành cùng bạn
so many types wow! nice place too. new sub and thumbs up for you
I want to come to your house in the spring an collect the babies, can you just imagine the colorful saplings that show up at his house?
Great collection! Thanks for sharing. One hint for better video quality: If you can then upload in 1440p. YT then processes videos with the much better vp09 codec.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the tech tip, too, that realm is not my strong point. I'm just shooting with an iPhone 7. I just checked the settings and I can at least bump up to 1080p at 60fps (it was at 30fps).

Really nice collection!!! Does Sensu take full sun well?
Absolutely!
Very nice collection! How do you get your fireglow to be transparent red the whole summer? My two always seems to be turning dark red and green in some places.
Well, Fireglow, given full sun, should be expected to maintain a bright red colour. I have never grown it in anything shadier but it's known to maintain a red colour. This time of year you see red seedling trees fading in their colour unlike a Bloodgood or Fireglow.
It's an amazing collection, I am from India. How can I buy those beautiful creatures? I would highly appreciate it if you can help me out to get those.
Do you have any recommendations for any pink or red maples that can stay bright in full shade and not turn green?
Hello. Personally I am unaware of any that can hold their colour in full shade. There's some kind of connection between sun and the red colour. I can you tell there are some trees that stay red in some filtered light such as Red Cloud or Inaba shidare. But full shade possibly not.
@@SimplyJapaneseMaples thank you, I appreciate your reply!
I came across a Pixie specimen size by accident and got it for a good deal. Do you have any special tips for raising it.
Oh wow, that's awesome! I love Pixie! No special tips. Japanese maples love good drainage, so pay attention to using the proper container mixes (I did a recent video on this), fertilize only once a year in the spring, and make sure Pixie gets ample sun to keep the red colour. Mr Maple's website is also a great resource for info on the individual trees, as well as their KZhead channel. I also like Mendocino Maples. Enjoy your super awesome Japanese maple, 'Pixie'! Feel free to contact me anytime with questions at my website, simplyjapanesemaples.ca
What would cause a Japanese Maple leaves to look smaller than normal? Also, not as red as it normally is previous years. Thanks!
Gino, I assume you are making a comparison of the same tree from one point of time to another. A change in sunlight, available food and water are three big reasons why this can happen.
What kind of fertilizer do you use
Fertilize in the spring. Prefer organic 4-4-4 or similar. I use Gaia Green or Welcome Harvest Farm but you may have something different available. The key thing is the numbers. Japanese maples are sensitive to over fertilization so the lower numbers are good, and for ecological reasons I choose not to use fertilizer that isn't organic.
Do you have a rule of thumb for planting distance for japanese maples? I'm trying to fit as many as I can in ground but space is limited/. For example I have a planted Osakauki and I want to plant Beni Maiko about 7.5ft away from that.
The best thing I would suggest is to have a healthy respect for the "mature sizes". And not the size in 10 years. The ten year is for garden planning in the short term but it kind of leaves a blind spot for the long term which people miss. And in the case of Osakazuki, it turns into a fairly big tree over time. Possibly 25' tall and wide. So, assuming it's going to get to be 25' wide, I'd count backwards and imagine the centre of the tree being in the middle of a 25' wide circle. So, you have about 12' or so from the centre out. Only then would I try to figure out how close I can plant another tree. I mean, you can always try to prune to reduce the growth but this can be full on especially with a vigorous tree such as Osakazuki, or Seiryu or a number of the larger uprights. In the short term, the distance between trees looks enormous but in the long term, trees planted too close together really can look bad, too. And now you have trees that are too big to move! Food for thought.
@@SimplyJapaneseMaples Very good advice, maybe it will be best as a container plant in that 7.5ft range. I can always move it around then and plant it at another house one day.
Going back to your original question, at a minimum I think your 7.5 ft distance you were considering planting Beni maiko away from Osakazuki would probably be right on the edge of the Osakazuki within ten years (not sure how big it is now). I can't remember the heights on Beni maiko. Also, you can certainly dig up trees, by hand, for a number of years after planting before it gets too hard. But of course no one wants to be disturbed if it can be helped.
@@SimplyJapaneseMaples From what I've found 8'x5' in 10 years give or take for Beni Maiko. The Osakazuki is about 5-6ft tall and multi trunked.
@@SimplyJapaneseMaples You are definitely correct, I appreciate the really detailed answers. I'll hold off on planting the Beni Maiko and keep it in a container. You gave me food for thought and I actually dug up a Kuro Hime that was about 3ft from the base of a Shishigashira and transplanted to a much for spacious area, still tight though. I think we can get a little maple crazy and plant as many as we can without really understanding the sizes in the end game.
What zone and state are you located in for reference?
Hello. In Canada. Zone 6b/7a which doesn't translate directly to the US. That would be like zone 6a I believe for you.
@@SimplyJapaneseMaples thank you for letting me know. Great videos and beautiful trees.
Working on getting these colors here in the south east 😅
I said 'Orange Dream' glows red. Lol. It does not. It glows orange.
