Thanks all, here are a couple of photos of the maple.

Just acquired a Japanese Maple from a nursery. It is labeled Seirya, but I do not think that is correct. I believe it should be Seirygu or something like that. I am not sure how and when to go about working on this tree. Here in Pensacola, FL our climate is unlike most places. Here on the...

Anyone have any luck with a loropetulam?

Good point on humidity, but I am in Pensacola and it is only 50 miles from Mobile. Our climate is not the same as Orlando or points south. As far as getting to LA, we have a son and granddaughter in LA so between trips out and their trips here I can manage to get some. I am familiar with...

Do any of our friends on the left coast know of a source of Akadama in Los Angeles? I will be there the first of next month and have some time on my hands. Something near LAX would be perfect, buy not required. Finding it here in northwest florida is near impossible.

Any suggestions on the advantage or disadvantage of using fir bark over pine bark for an organic addition to soil?

Mostly shorten tall trees and make use of the tops. None of them are rare (I don't think) a couple of coral bark maples that I have been relocating with me as I move. They are about 6 feet tall and have some nice looking branches that I think would be nice trees if I can do it right. Late...

I am thinking of try ing to air layer a couple of trees this year. I have a couple of Japanese Maples, some in the ground and some in nursery pots, and a couple of cryptomeria in large nursery pots. When would be a good time to layer them here in north Florida (Pensacola). Are they both good...

John, I think I know who you mean, Rodney Clemens recommended him also.

John, Where do you get the pumice? I am in Pensacola FL and no one here stocks it.

Had been watering every day in them summer, on an automatic sprinkler system for new landscaping. Cut back to every other day this fall, and now going to once a week. Do I need to take the trees off the system and hand water?

I have a dozen or so maples that I have just relocated to Pensacola Florida. The soil is not draining and I am concerned for their health. Is it dangerous to repot them now in January in north Florida? Is it a good time to prune and wire? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have not used colanders before, but see them mentioned often. Any advantages to them over training pots?

Any suggestions? I have looked from Atlanta to Pensacola and had no luck.

Tried both Agway and Southern States and all I could find was stall dry which is not the same. I tried feed stores in this area and one even went on line to see if you could order it for me and no luck. It will be a shame to lose it as a source. Hard to find pumice anywhere.
