Thanks, yes this place is a sanctuary, and I'm grateful for living here and having the opportunity to create something that I find beautiful

@@mbeeme355 you’ve been chosen for this place ! 😌

@@fisiomanuales thats exactly what I feel too, and if I can share this appreciation and experience of beauty with others it makes even more sense.

@@mbeeme355 I’m with yours thoughts!!! Thank you for being here

takktakk🙂

Hei, Jeg bor på nordmøre, så ikke så langt unna Trondheim. Men jeg har selv bodd mange år i Trondheim og kjenner litt til klimaet der. I utgangspunktet tror jeg ikke at temperaturen vil være et problem, men det er avgjørende at lønnene dine har god skjerming mot vind, spesielt ved løvsprett. Jeg jobber nå med å etablere sjikt av vintergrønne planter for å bygge og å styrke vernet mot været, sjekk den siste videoen min : "Introducing the conifer garden" Jeg har sett at rododendron og JP liker ganske like forhold, så om du får rododendron til å trives der du er, vil jeg tro du vil kunne lykkes med JP. Ellers må man bare lære seg de lokale og spesifikke forhold i den enkelte hagen og hvordan været påvirker hver krok og krik, og derifra lære å bygge det mikroklimaet man trenger for å lykkes. Hyggelig at vi er flere nordmenn som holder på med dette.🙂

@@mbeeme355 Har en svær rododenron nede i samme hagen, så satser på at det kan gå bra. Etpar av dem står i bed og har drivhus som vegg mot nord. Tror de står litt i ei slags "gryte", der høyere trær rundt blir mer tatt av vinden enn de i hagen. Har du en instagram eller noe det går ann å følge med, eller kun på youtube?

I get my trees from a nursery in my region, but I am quite sure they get them from some were in Europe, maybe even Germany. I wish you good luck with your Orange lace 🙂

Yes, the colors of Dancing peacock is the beginning of the autumn colors. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

@@mbeeme355 ok then, I will fallow your evolution!

Thanks

Thanks, I'm happy that they are doing so good

@@mbeeme355 I’m really really happy for what you have this year because the last were “just in case” to have Acer.

Yes, in my limited experience I find them quite similar. I honestly would not be able to distinguish the one from the other since every tree has their own individual characteristic. I hope you will enjoy your new tre, whether its a Inaba Shidare or a Garnet 🙂

Thank you for watching 🙂 In zone 6 it should be quite easy to make maples thrive as long as you can protect them against wind. I do not have any maple in mostly sun, but both Starfish and Red pygmy I have in the afternoon sun and they have kept their red color great during the summer. Shishigashira is a very interesting dark green maple that can take much sun. Jerre Schwartz is a compact red cultivar that is very beautiful. It is said to tolerate full sun, but it then may loose its red during the summer. There are so many more delightful maples to choose from, and I wish you luck with your choice.

@@mbeeme355 Thank you for your detailed reply! The only compact ones I have available locally are Shaina, Inabe Shidare, Moonrise, Orangeola, and the other usual suspects (Tamukeyama, etc.). I was amazed with the colors on Moonrise right now. I suppose it's hard to go wrong with any...

@@apleparulo3958 Moonrise is absolutely wonderful and one of my all time favorites, but it is said to not enjoy full sun...My experience with Shaina is not so good, I have had two, and both of them died during springtime. Jerre Schwartz is related and in my experience more hardy. The Orangeola I have has been very strong and grows very well. I'm trying my second Inaba Shidare now, the first one died in spring due to a placement that was too windy. In general I think placement is of major importance, so the better you know your garden the better chance you have for success.🙂

@@mbeeme355 Thank you for your insights! I am a new subscriber and look forward to more content. Your location looks amazing, btw.

@@apleparulo3958 Thanks and good luck with your acer🙂

Hello and thanks for watching, I'm in zone 7 between a and b. You could check out the Frost collection of maples specially grown for colder climate. Examples are North Wind, Arctic Jade and Ice Dragon: I think First Flame is one of them too. I wish you the best of luck with the further development of your maple collection. 🙂

@@mbeeme355 I have bought a North Wind, still in a container :) Might be trying to plant a North Wind and maybe a Bloodgood or Emperor 1.

@@xray1337 The only way to find out is to try, I think that these 3 trees are a good start. How is it with wind where you live?

@@mbeeme355 It can be windy here, kind of open yard but I have a few places were the wind is not that bad. But as you said I just have to try myself and see if it's possible :)

@@xray1337 You could plant some conifers to shelter them, and also put up som extra shelter when they are leafing out to protect them. All the maples I have lost I have lost is in this critical time of spring. They have survived the winter just fine, but lack of protection against wind and not enough access to water due to frost in the ground while leafing out has been what has killed them.

Still summer colors, there are even more colors to look forward to later in the season, hopefully.🙂

@@mbeeme355 wow great for your eyes!Now at this time my acer are turning green for the hottest summer, is normal process anyways.

Thanks

No, not at all

@@mbeeme355 My green up from the end of June (in zone 6) although it is on the full sun ☀️ (( I wish you good luck with your new tree!!!

@@user-md7qb9vb1v My new Garnet is now one year old and is doing great, good color and good growth. I hope that your Garnet is coming back with fantastic fall colors 🤩

Thanks for watching, I live in the south west part of Norway, and the temperature during the winter comes down to about minus 15 degrees celsius. It seems like that is not the biggest challenge for the maples. Normally they all survive the winter as long as I protect them against being damaged by the weight of the snow. I have lost many maples during early spring while they are leaving out. If there is still frost in the ground during that time, they don't get enough water to be supported, and also if there is strong wind they cannot protect them selves at the same time. So during this very sensitive period, they need extra protection against the wind, and maybe also extra watering. Luckily enough of them have survived for me to not completely lose my spirit. Some of them have thrived for years and that keeps me going. 🙂

@@mbeeme355 Hei og tusen takk. Jeg var usikker om det var i Norge du bodde så derfor jeg skrev på engelsk men nå er det lettere for meg å kommunisere med deg :D Jeg har blitt forelsket i viftelønn akkurat som du har vært i mange år. Jeg har også mistet mange i potter og har prøvde å plante 2 stikke ned på bakken i år. En bloodgood og en garnet og er veldig spent på om de kan overlevere denne vinteren. Jeg bor på Lillehammer og det er veldig kaldt her som kan være -20 til -25. Må du beskytte dem med isolasjon matter i vinter? Det går ikke an vanne dem mens det fortsatt er frost i bakken? Jeg trenger virkelig dine råd :D og tusen takk for svar på forhånd <3

@@mbeeme355 Tusen takk for svar. Jeg var litt usikker om det var Norge du bodde så derfor skrev jeg på engelsk :D Men nå er det lettere for meg å kommunisere :D Jeg har også blitt forelsket i japansk viftelønn. Jeg har også mistet mange lønne i potter da jeg bodde i leilighet. I år så flyttet jeg til hus og ha en liten hagen også har jeg plantet 2 stk i bakken allerede og er veldig spente om de overlever denne vinteren som kommer. Jeg bor på Lillehammer og i vinter kan det være minus 20 eller mer. Beskyttet du dem med isolasjonsmatter om vinter? Hvordan vanner du dem når det er forsatt frost i bakken? Jeg trenger virkelig dine råd og håper at vi kan ha flere dialog om dette for vi har samme hobby og interesserte. På forhånd tusen takk for svar!

@@QuanPham-vj6mySå hyggelig å høre fra noen som også prøver seg på Japanlønn i Norge, jeg vil gjerne ha en dialog og å dele erfaringer. Sist vinter prøvde jeg for første gang å la lønner overvintre å krukker, ca 10 stk, kun 3 stk overlevde.....De hadde det fint gjennom vinteren, vokste og utviklet seg, men de tålte ikke overgangen fra vinter til vår. Jeg tror problemet er at de starter oppvåkningen for tidlig, slik at det er tele i jorda fremdeles når de spretter, og da får de ikke tilgang på nok vann. Kommer ikke til å prøve med på krukker igjen. Tror trærne tilpasser seg klimaet bedre når de er i jorda. Det kan nok bli kaldere i Lillehammer på vinteren enn på Tingvoll hvor jeg bor, men utfordringen vil nok uansett være vår og løvsprett. Tilgang på vann og beskyttelse mot vind er nok nøkkelfaktorer for å lykkes. de kan godt vannes selv om det er tele. det er bare å helle vann på dem som ved helt vanlig vanning. Jeg har vannet rododendron i februar da det var en nedbørsfattig sesong, noe som sannsynligvis reddet dem. Det er spesielt viktig om det har vært lite snø gjennom vinteren og lite nedbør på våren. Det er utviklet en serie med lønner som er spesielt utviklet for kaldere klima, jeg prøvde "Ice dragon" sist år, men i krukke og det var en av dem som ikke klarte seg gjennom vinteren. I år har jeg plantet "Arctic jade" og "North wind", og er spent på hvordan de klarer seg. Jeg har ikke beskyttet mine lønner på annen måte enn med bambuspinner for å at de ikke skal kollapse under snøen mens de er små, så jeg har ingen erfaring med annen isolasjon,. Men tror ikke noen fordel å fremskynde løvsprett uten en god plan for vanning og skjerming mot kuldegrader og vind. Her kan det være frostnetter frem til pinse og enda lenger.......og nyutsprungne blad tåler ikke det. Ser også at det lokale klimaet i den spesifikke hagen er av stor betydning, og jeg jobber nå aktivt med å plante nåletrær og vintergrønne busker som skjerming. Man kan endre mikroklimaet i hagen mye ved hjelp av forskjellige strategier. Men man nok påregne at det tid å bli kjent med den spesifikke eiendommen, og at feiling er en del av det å lære. Håper dette ga deg svar på noe av det lurer på. Ønsker det lykke til, og jeg hører gjerne fra deg igjen. Hilsen Merete🙂

@@mbeeme355 Tusen takk Merete. Jeg har sett alle dine videos og ser at du har plantet ganske mange japanske lønn allerede og noen har vært der i mange år. De er så fine 😍 Jeg drev og se masse på youtube om japansk lønn og ble bare mer forelsket i dem. Hva heter den serien og hvor kan jeg se den? Kjøpte du alle de lønnene her i Norge? Eventuelt hvilken hage senter som har de forskjellige typene? Jeg har nå en del lønn i krukker som jeg skal ta det inn på garasjen på vinter og er veldig spent om de overlever til neste år. Det var det de som jobber på hagesenter anbefalte til meg. Tusen takk for at du deler erfaringene med meg. Hvis jeg noen ganger drar mot den retningen så ønsker jeg å besøke hagen din.

Thank you so much, it's very inspiring when I suddenly realize what needs to be done, and I seem to be able to do it. Days like that makes it all worth while.

@@mbeeme355Super congratulations!!!

Thank you 🙂

There are deer here, but they have not caused any serious problems. They are just passing trough, take a small nibble of a maple or two and then they move on.

Your garden has so much potential could make a lovely Japanese garden and what a beautiful backdrop view you have so jealous.

@@Steviejapanesegarden I'm happy that you see the potential for a Japanese garden. That is exactly my vision for this place, right now I'm working on a garden path, video will follow soon. Yes the surroundings here are quite stunning, it compensates for long winters and short summer seasons.

@@mbeeme355 excellent look forward to seeing it in the future.

@@diyoregonnowtexas9202 yeah! Gardening it’s very expanded, it should consider what else can fit according to the space we want to dedicate. Fruit trees are pretty awesome specially in spring with the flowers, the maples are well seen with their colors

I would be very happy if my garden reaches a point some time that it would interest Japanese people that are accustomed to the real deal. Well, it will not be this year, but I will be working toward that goal. So maybe in the future I will be able to proud myself with a garden worth being called a Japanese garden. Once again thank you for your support🙂

@@mbeeme355 you have already this project called “Japanese Garden” !!! Out of Japan we try our best here where we live besides your presentation is quite attractive in your channel, awesome big collection.

thank you, yes, diamond tears do great in accentuating colors, they bring in the light even when the sun is hidden.

@@mbeeme355 Poetical!

no, sorry about that

Yes, I'm indeed blessed

work in progress as always, glad you like it, supportive as usual, thanks

@@mbeeme355 I really like your way of working because you are faced with continuous challenges where you live.

Between 3 and 4, in Norway.

Thank you, suddenly I see how much there is to learn especially about pruning. It's an art, and I want to learn.

@@mbeeme355 I like your decision, I do the same every time I have the chance or I think is the right time to pruning. Nice job and congrats for the courage!

Thank you so much, very kind of you.🙂

The climate here is much of the time cold and wet, so there is in general not an issue with sun scorch with any of the maples. But that aside this tree is located in the south-east direction and gets sun from morning to early afternoon. Not evening sun.

It nearly dried out because it started to leaf out when there still was frost in the ground. It was rescued by being generously watered. Sun in early spring combined with little rain/snow can be critical, especially for young plants with not so developed roots.

@@mbeeme355 I appreciate your help.

I'm glad you liked it. For me this tree is a reminder of how struggle to survive often creates great beauty, and how important it is to never give up. All of the other maples are doing very good, and have had nice development the last year. I'll come back to them later. 🙂

@@mbeeme355 great news so far! For the maples you have lost, this is a true hero. Happy to watch the evolution later, see you.

Yes, he is a great gardener

Thank you, this is such a rewarding process, and I am happy it can be enjoyed by more people than me.🙂

@@mbeeme355 you have a gorgeous plan every year and I appreciate a lot your hard work and efforts to stay on the limits.

@@fisiomanuales The conditions set the premises, and learning is always satisfying.

Nice that you like my maples. 🙂As long as I can find place in the ground for new ones I will prefer that. But maybe some day I will try keeping some in pots outdoor in the winter again.

Hello to you to, I am happy to finally have some good maple news to share.😀 By the way, when I was planting the maples yesterday, I was removing all the soil above the roots, as I have learned that I should, because many of them are plantet to deep.. I discovered that Aurem had a quite thick strong branch of the root growing tightly around the trunk just above where the root starts. If I haven't taken the soil away, I wouldn't have notices. I had to use force to loosen it from the the trunk, and also be firm in order to avoid it from snapping back to its strangular hold on the trunk. I think this could have killed the tree if undiscovered . For me this is an important reminder to also check what's beneath the surface. Now I think that Aurem have every possibility to thrive. Oh yes, I really would like more trees from the Shirasawanum family, they are all gorgeous. i would always find space for any of them. ❤

I have made one: "Acer Osakazuki from green to bright red"

@@mbeeme355 Thanks! I'll try to look for it.

Happy to share 🙂 To day I picked up a Ukigumo and a Aureum that I have ordered. They are both in excellent condition. I only use my iPhone 13 when I do the videos, for everything but soundtracks from CZcams.

@@mbeeme355 very cool selection of maples you’ve got today! I will be happy to watch them soon, thanks for telling me. 😄 I’m using a 12ProMax for my videos so you are little bit cooler than me.

Thank you 🙂

Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging comment. The intention with my videos is sharing the intense feeling of appreciation that just existing can create, and that both joy and pain transcends in the face of beauty. Love is always the answer ❤

Thank you so much 🙂

I have not really lost any of them because of snow, but last winter some of the smallest ones were quite damaged. So because of that I have supported them with bamboo sticks. The snow also serves as insulation against the cold and protect the trees against dehydration during the winter.

The bamboo stick protection is based on observing how the snow broke the branches during last winter, and I guess this winter will show if it will work.....

@@mbeeme355 cool! Is very interesting protecting they in this way. Here where I live doesn’t snow so is impossible to apply this technique but I’m happy that I’ve found your winter project.

I agree, it's a stunning tree in fall, most years. The foliage of many of my trees including Osakazuki just dried up this year without really changing color. Several of them haven't even lost their leaves. Kind of interesting, but not so impressive.

Well, to day, just one day after the recording of the video, it looks like the leaves in several of them just dries up without changing color first, like with Moonrise.Even Osakazuki seems to dry up before turning completely red. But I hope for more color, Orange dream may still come up with some 🙂

@@mbeeme355 hi there. I understand your complains about the maples in this season with the leaves, it happened to me in some of them but in the treetops. It’s about the weather and climate change who is affecting the behaviour of the trees. Meanwhile we have more maples in our space, some of them will give the right fall show, I hope… Out of this common problem you have a gorgeous garden with all the things you’ve done there.

Hello again, yes, I think that the reason for what is going is that there has not been any frost until last week, and that the color change needs frost to get started. So my theory is that the seasonal decay of the leaves came before the color change had an opportunity to start for most of the trees. By the way, I'm really happy that you appreciate my garden.@@fisiomanuales

@@mbeeme355 yes that’s right your theory. Here in Madrid we’ve had 2 weeks with lower temperature then have risen so bad for some maples and other were no affected yet. Where you are I’ve seen that you have serious problems with the clime and you’ve worked a lot to keep the maples alive, you did the best! Obviously I like your garden with his views and you tried all you could to have a super Japanese Garden. We keep the contact, thank you for share your work there.
