    Winter Watering

    Hi, The fall has started to get to the point where it's quite chilly if not freezing. Basically I now need my puffer coat and idk when I should water my trees. I'm scared that if I do it during these times the soil and roots will freeze and if I don't do it to often they'll die from not having...

    Ground Layering?

    So I should just let the tree lay dormant. Do I need to make any cuts or grooves for the wire? Also what type of wire is best for this process?

    Ground Layering?

    Is Tourniquet the same thing? I just wanted to know when I could start the process? I've searched online and some say end of fall when tree goes dormant or start of spring.

    Domancy?

    LOL! :) Any suggestions I have a sun room and a garage where it remains really cold during the winter and even now. Or would leaving them outside be better?

    Domancy?

    I have 2 JM's at the moment and I read that at temperatures below 50 is when the tree will begin to go dormant. Well today the temp went to ~20-30. Both my trees still have foliage. I believe the news said first frost outside. It's still the middle of fall. I know they're suppose to be outside...

    Mame, Shonin, Dwarf?

    Oh so a dwarf is a cultivar grafted plant and not a purebred type plant?

    Mame, Shonin, Dwarf?

    I just wanted to know the difference between them. I feel they're all used interchangeably but that doesn't seem to be the case all the time? Like I see dwarf is referenced to leaf size? Does shonin or mame mean the same thing or just a smaller tree in general? Is it also a reference to a...

    Buying New Japanese Maple Tree

    Thanks so much for the advice and yes, I thought the first one was the best looking. I'll go today and see if I can look at the roots better, hopefully they'll look good if not I'm willing to work with it. If I do end up picking up the first tree how should I go about taking care of it? Do I...

    Buying New Japanese Maple Tree

    Hi, I recently went to Home Depot to buy some supplies and noticed they have a 50% off trees and saw they had some Japanese Maples Atropurpureum. So they'd be about $35. I saw 3 interesting ones that I liked. The first I lived the thickness of the trunk and the way the branches were low and...

    Just Started

    Lol I almost bought that comment :D I almost couldn't see the graft but didn't want to lose that part of the tree because that's what made me want to get it in the first place. I definitely know I want to cut but I just wasn't sure exactly where to do it w/o losing the top part. Also you said...
