I’m sure I’ve mentioned this to you before–what I call “third party videos” don’t work on my computer. What I mean is, for example, videos hosted at youtube but incorporated in your page.
Mike: I’ve been watching your videos with interest. I’ve learned a lot.
I don’t think I ever saw one on Japanese Maples like this one. Great information.
Can you root a new tree from a cutting on the Japanese Maple. If so, how do
you do it.
Good info any hints on pruning a crepe myrtle to appear as a tall open umbrella mine is 2-3 yrs old and I would like it to be about 8-10 ft or more and have an umbrella type canopy of bloom and branches
Thanks Mike,
Another really helpful video like all the rest. I always look forward to the next one. Where do you buy your farmers overall’s?? I can’t find them anywhere. They are so comfortable to work in.
Thanks Mike.
Hi Mike,
We have a hedge which doesn’t get much sun on its bottom. The top looks good but it doesn’t grow any leaves on the bottom. Is there anything we can do?
Mike, great information,… I am wondering how do you trim back an old, overgrown japanese maple? Poor thing had died our on areas, but has new growth, .. unfortunately, it is so out of shape, I am not sure what to do…. help????
fuji – check out Mike’s thread “Trimming & Pruning Tips” from last July. Mike gave me a few tips about pruning as I had just planted one of those. His info helped, plus there is more information out there on the web. After 1 year my little tree is full of flowers and sending out shoots! Have fun
I have been receiving gardening books in the mail for a while now and about two years ago, I purchased a Japanese Red Maple. I bought this seeding because the mature species is so beautiful. My problem is it seems to be growing very slow and the leaves tend to brown around the edges. Not to mention there is not much folliage on the plant. Do you have any suggestions?

I purchased a Japanese a year ago and it is 5Ft tall. Can I use the trimmings from it to root and start new plants? Keep up the great Work.

Is there a certain time of year I should prune my weeping Japanese Maple? Is fall or spring a better time. I just got mine this year after getting landscaping ideas from you. I love it! I got some great planing ideas from your videos. Keep them coming!!!!
Natural is certainly NOT unsightly in a Japanese Maple… Quite the contrary! Did you ever hear of Aesthetic Pruning? It brings out the true beauty of JMs. You are making lollipops, not beautiful Japanese Maples. I’ve learned not to trust people that always say “trust me”
Nice video. Is it OK to prune when the plant is leafing out?
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this to you before–what I call “third party videos” don’t work on my computer. What I mean is, for example, videos hosted at youtube but incorporated in your page.
For anyone else who has the same problem, here is

Always enjoy your videos. I appreciate the fact that you approached both weeping and upright JM’s.
I’m afraid I have one of those “unsightly” maples, but I love it anyway! I really liked your video, you made it look easy… very inspiring!

Bridgette, I’m the wrong person to suggest plants for Texas, but somebody will probably chime in here with some suggestions for you.

When is the best time to prune?
Joyce, I prune just about everything year round. If it needs trimming, it gets trimmed. No matter what time of year it is.
