I’m going to guess the more common variety of a Crimson Queen Japanese Maple. That is probably wrong but at least I’ve eliminated that for everyone elses guesses.
I have planted many trees “in my youth” and always was amazed at how well they take and florish. I love flowering trees and now that I have a new home anticipate planting some very soon.
Thanks Mike
(It is definately NOT a variety of Japanese Maple, because the last video blog on “How to Ball & Burlap Dig a Tree” shows the same tree being dug up and Mike said it was to “make room for a Japanese Maple” to be planted in the newly vacated spot!
Good Job! I think it has already been guessed correctly. I planted a Lilac last spring on a slight hill cut. Come the middle of July my plant almost dies. I began to dig it up, the hole was muck. I asked about a field tile and sure enough I was told the excavator had cut a field tile right above my new Lilac. I replanted it very high and it responded with new growth however this spring it hasn’t budded so I am going to try with another plant and I will elevate it even 6″ to get out of the wet soil. To move the location I would have to move 4 other Lilacs so I am going to get really high this time – I was up 4″ after the plan had a very big set back. Anyway thanks. Bruce
HI MIKE ! JIM HERE ANOTHER GOOD THING TO KNOW IS IF YOU MOVE A TREE THAT’S 2yrs. OLD TIE A PIECE OR RIBBON AROUND THE TRUNK, MAKING SURE THAT THE KNOT FACES THE SAME DIRECTION IT DID BEFORE THE MOVE. YOU WILL TRICK IT TO THINK THAT IT WAS NEVER MOVED !! IF YOU DONT SURVIVAL IS RISKY…
Mike I want to thank you for all you do. I have no idea to the type or variety of tree but, it looks nice without foliage. So, I would guess a broom-ed top Red Bud .
Thanks for the great tips i learn each time you do this.
Lots of guesses here, but I will stick with Japanese Weeping Maple, Red laceleaf variety. Without leaves or a closeup of the tree in leaf, it would be hard to guess. However, I know how fond of the Japanese Maples you are, so it must be some kind of that!
The tree being planted appears to be a Japanese Maple, I have seen these whick are usually of the laceleaf type and grow lower to the ground than a regular Japanese Maple, so it might be a dwarf variety.
Hey Mike & Dustin, thanks again for a good instructional video and your devotion to the gardening community to educate us. I have a third acre back behind my house, beside a creek I want to plant some fruit trees. This video helped. Jeff
Hey Mike:
I just finished my Master Gardening course with WSU. The more recent info on tree planting is to remove that burlap. They have found that it does not decompose quickly and it does inhibit root growth. I have discovered as you mentioned many hidden ties I would never have discovered without fully removing all the burlap. The trees I have done this with are all thriving.
Thank u for explaining clay soil. I hate it but we live in an area where that’s all there is. Very frustrating. Btw I would like to know how u composte with food waste without it smelling badly.
Thank you Mike!!

That would be an Acer palmatum var. dissectum. Congrats to the first person that named it. I’m too late
Possibly Malus ‘Red Jade’?
This is either a grafted dappled willow Or dwarfed Ornimental flowering fancy pink cherry blossom tree.
Mike,
