Hi Japanese Maple Lovers
Here is one of the Lace Leaf Maples from the Garden
The Tree Leaves were all green about a month ago and are now almost totally red..
A few End Of Season leaves have already fallen....
The Tree will be fully bare in a number of weeks...
Best wishes

What's under and/or around your Japanese Maple? Pictures please!
Comments (23)Why anyone felt it was necessary to resurrect and add on to an inactive 12 year old thread is a bit strange........but let me just add this comment. Japanese maples produce shallow and extremely sensitive root systems that resent any sort of disturbance. In fact, it is extremely easy to introduce often fatal disease issues by damaging these roots. So whatever one chooses to underplant their JMs with, it should be something that can be left undisturbed and with non-invasive roots. No annuals that require yearly replacement or perennials that will need frequent division. Smaller, non-suckering shrubs are fine but should be planted simultaneous to the maple. Or any low growing, shallow rooted groundcover....See MoreJapanese Maple Questions (Pictures)
Comments (5)I agree with the other david " Matsumurae of some kind... It is young probably two years and not grafted technically a seedling as far as I can tell I would classify it a generic green JM of the Matsumurae group ...These seedlings can dramatically change their ultimate look for 4 or more years so what it looks like now ( except lesf shape ) MAY NOT necessarily be what it looks like a couple of years down the road trimming is up to you but i'd wait til fall...David...See MoreZone 5a and 4b Hardy Japanese Maple Cultivars
Comments (15)I'm in zone 5 Ottawa,Canada. Zone 4 for you in the US. They used to say you couldn't grow J.maples around here. But for 20 years I always could, and have never lost any, except 2 variegated ones. I have about 25 varieties, a sort of J. maple forest in my back yard & I am running out of room. Good thing they are dwarf trees, unlike our native maples that grow to 50 ft. I wholesale them from (grown in)BC, zone 7-8. They do not loose hardiness by grafting and propagating in a milder climate. The hardiness is built into the plant. I will say that they can sometimes be slow to establish, and this is the important part. Any tree should be planted early and well cared for in the first season, so it is well established going into it's first winter. I don't believe in bare root trees doing well, too slow to establish, or over wintering in a pot. They should always be planted in the ground and well mulched. I do think they prefer a more acidic soil. Ours is neutral approx. 6-7ph, so I spread sulphur everywhere every couple of years to acidify a little.(I don't like pink hydrangeas, prefer blue) I saw a study once, out of U of Michigan I think, where when they tested plants, and they found that plants growing in acidic soil seemed a little hardier than the same plants growing in more alkaline soils. In the past I have used geo-textile fleece as a winter cover for the first few winters, but snow makes a great insulator as well. I get a bit of tip dieback sometimes, but it doesn't matter since they grow back very well, as if they were pruned. There is a sort of wilt going around in J. maples lately, others have noticed as well. It doesn't hurt the tree, it just attacks some of the newest growing tips as they are finished flushing out in summer....sort of self pruning. We regularly get to minus 22 celcius (-10 far.)here most winters, with minimal problems. Even with last winter, the worst in 20 yrs., there were no losses. The only damage I ever notice is the heavy snow pack in spring, will sometimes crack the weeping types as it weighs them down and melts. Variegated types do seem less hardy, possibly due to the fact that variegation is a mutation and therefore weaker. Red and green types are perfectly hardy. They all seem hardier as they get older. thanks, Rich...See Morebeautiful new leaves on small japanese maple (pictures)
Comments (10)Have looked around the neighborhood, and the sango kaku maples that are leafing out right now, and at local nurseries have coral red stems right up to the skinny little stems that hold the leaves, whereas yours have green. You have a red barked maple. As mentioned above, there are so many variations. When I Google search Coral Bark Maple, Sango Kaku comes up for a couple pages. I don't know if the name is trademarked. Yours isn't that one. You can easily train a leader on a japanese maple, as we did on our Crimson Queen which is 12' tall and 15' wide, which was planted from a 5 gal can 28 years ago...single trunk. -Babka...See Moreprivatejapanesemaplesanctuary
