#WEEPING JAPANESE MAPLE FULL#

I allow those buds to develop into branches as youвЂ™ll see in the video on this page. So unlike the weeping trees, I do not remove buds from along the stem. With Japanese Red Maple seedlings I find that they look better, and most people prefer to buy them when they are grown as multi stemmed plants. Come next spring that little tree will flush out and be covered with leaves and by mid summer small branches up and down the stem. Since they are so slow growing leaving them unpruned for the first growing season doesnвЂ™t really hurt them at all.ДЄs you can see from this photo taken at the very end of the growing season, this plant has started to lose itвЂ™s leaves and is pretty small and spindly. I just pot them up and let them take care of themselves. What I used to do as soon as I took them out of the box was to cut the top of them to force them to fill out a little.Д«ut I no longer do that. I usually pay around $1.50 each for them. Normally I donвЂ™t grow these myself from seed, I prefer to buy them from other growers. This is a Japanese Red Maple seedling, probably two years old.

Eventually you will have a nice full plant like you see in these photos. Do this all the way around the plant, then just keep doing it two or three times a year. Just cut them back to the imaginary line. Any branches that are growing outside of that imaginary line need to be removed. Once you have that image in your mind, draw an imaginary line over the tree, and under the tree. Once your tree is to the height that you desire, stand back and picture in your mind how you want that tree to look. ThatвЂ™s why I always carry pruning shears in the front pocket of my bibs. I prune 12 months a year as I take the notion. Keep in mind, anything that needs to be removed from any plant, the sooner the better. Along the way if the small plant has rouge branches that are growing out away for the tree they should be pruned off. Once we get that skinny kid to the height that we desire we start shaping the plant. Keep in mind that we started out with a skinny plant tied to a stake. Goshiki Shidare is another of the lace leaf varieties of weeping Japanese maples.
