Awesome tree as usual Mach. Looking forward to your future updates.
Those new leaves are tiny! Is this your only ginnala? I've been thinking about getting some since I've had such problems overwintering tridents here.
There they are again, the signature M5 roots!!! another one I want to see naked!
Mach, that's the big draw for me. I'm trying to get trees that I don't have to baby as much in the winter. Lots of junipers and pines. Still trying to figure out overwintering J Maples. Amur seems bulletproof.
Great trees Mach,
The most common complaint I hear about amurs is that they tend to dieback and shed branches. Can you confirm or deny this?
Disappointing to find out they are relatively short lived trees! oh well...at least it will look nice for a whileThey are quite easy in all respects. They are not as fine looking as a good Japanese maple but they are nice. I think bigger sizes work better for amur due to their rather coarse ramification. I left this tree outside all winter long experiencing extended periods of below zero temps and didn't even loose a single twig.
Yes I have heard same although I have not yet experienced this though. They are also relatively short lived trees.
I can think of a few fast growers with thinner skin that this would be a good idea for. Thanks!Thanks Juds! The green "stuff" is actually wire wrapped in floral tape. I use it on branches that I either have to apply a lot of torque to or create bends that exert pressure on the bark. It buys you more time before it bites in. It is more time consuming but I think worth the effort if you have the time.
