Need a good dwarf red Japanese maple- any suggestions?
Comments (5)Hard to come up with a non-weeping form that will stay narrow enough for you :-) I'd suggest 'Red Pygmy' or 'Beni Otake'. You could also try something like 'Fireglow', 'Oregon Sunset or 'Sara D' but all will eventually grow taller and wider than you wish and I'd not recommend pruning to maintain a set size....See MoreDwarf Japanese Maple Near Roses...
Comments (4)Thanks everyone! (Except SPAM guy) These thoughtful responses and observations are encouraging and very helpful. I'm going to splurge on a dwarf Japanese maple that has already grown to 4' tall (a 24-incher would be A LOT cheaper)so I needed to do my homework. The tree will be about 6' from my roses. I'm aiming for an upright growing dwarf maple, and I will watch for the horizontal spread that comes with age....See MoreNeed help in identifying dwarf or semi-dwarf Japanese maple
Comments (4)Looks like it is "Waterfall" Viridis. The full name is Acer palmatum Waterfall Viridis. "Dissectum" in the name (if it is there) means the lacy, finely dissected leaves. Congratulations, you discovered the magic of Japanese Maples! Very easy to get hooked on, collect them. Visit the Maple Forum , you can find beautiful pictures in the Gallery section....See MoreJapanese Maple suggestions, container and dwarf/semidwarf
Comments (2)It is probably not too large to transplant if you are really strong and have a couple of people to help. The best time is when the tree is dormant, around February. You can go ahead and dig outside the the drip line of the tree and cut down to break up the soil and let it stay this way until you are ready to move. Obviously, you want to get as much of the rootball as possible. (Also, have the "new" location for the tree ready before you dig up the bloodgood) Yes, it can take fun sun. I am in NC and have no problems with JM Bloodgood being in full sun. Perhaps Shaina Japanese Maple would be a good choice for the 3-4 foot tree in full sun> Hope this helps....See More- 5 years ago
