japanese maples

I'm looking to Buy a Beni Chidori JM, does anyone know where I can find one? I've looked everywhere online and can't find anyone that sells them in the US. I live in Utah so if anyone knows someone who sells them here that would also help.

Hey all, I have a bunch of maples that are getting some nice leaves on them! Very exciting! I currently have them in my greenhouse which is off to the side of my back deck, it gets some dappled sun in one corner and shade on the other sides (of the greenhouse, the deck is a similar situation...

Starting a Japanese maple seedling collection to eventually grow into bonsai. I'd like to purchase brand new seedlings (<1 yr.) preferably: Deshojo/ShinDeshojo kiyohime Arakawa Katsura Shishigashira Seigen Yama-Momiji Im open to other varieties if they make good bonsai, but I try to steer...

Hello All, Cut off my first successful air layer attempt yesterday. I started the air layer on my Tobiosho Japanese Maple around March and cut off the branch yesterday. Putting the plant in a pot with sphagnum moss and will place it in a shady area for the root to grow strong. Then I will...

@William N. Valavanis shows his garden and many of the incredible trees he's been growing for decades. Worth watching it more than once. Thank you Bill, amazing work!

According to Peter Adam's book on maples, if correctly done, the feared bleeding in early Spring or late Summer will be minimum on Palmatums and Buergerianums. There is a watering variable when repotting and/or hard pruning the tree that avoids or at least lessens the issue. Excerpt from the...

Hi Yall, With various different products on the market, I wanted to see what yall were using to rid your bonsai of aphids? Did it work? I understand that most people use preventative measures before a problem occurs, but sadly I overlooked this and now a few of my trees have a small root aphid...

This will be my first time caring for plants during summer here in Los Angeles. We are already getting heat waves in spring hitting 90s. I have my plants in a full sun area under a shade canopy I made that has a white 50% uv cover, and a 80% on the back to blockout afternoon sun. I will be...

Hi Everyone, I really love maples but don't often see a lot of groups or shows displaying them. I visit a nursery here in Los Angeles and see dozens of junipers\pines. Where is the love for deciduous trees?

Even being winter here, some of my maples are not dropping their leaves. Kotohime and Trident are even showing some new growth. Should I help nature and just defoliate them?

My maples have lengthened and lignified, so I took the day to defoliate three. I’ve not done it for years, but the growth was so vigorous in their new home, decided this was the year. FIVE GALLONS OF LEAVES! Considering it was only 3 trees, sure seemed like a heck of a lot of leaves. I did...

After reading many posts here endorsing Adams book on Japanese Maples, I will buy the paperback version book for sure. But... There are some purchase options in Amazon concerning the 2006 edition, being sold for U$ 100 plus, while newer editions are being sold for U$ 30. Is the 2006 edition so...
