- When we first came to see the land at Flock, we were both surprised and thrilled to see an assortment of mature trees, particularly all the Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) cultivars.
Though not a tree we would have initially gravitated towards planting in the landscape-after learning more about the Japanese maple, we became enrapt by their four-season beauty, versatility and cultural history. So much so that we started to get more to plant within the landscape. In this video, we'll take you for a tour through our Japanese maples and share tips on selection, growing and care.

I remember when you first got the property you were not excited at all about the acers. It's lovely to see your opinion change to the point where you're planting more! So cool to continue to learn as we go.
You have brought so much love and respect to your property. Even in the way you talk about it. Such a classy, beautiful way to honor that man and his family💚🍁
Love ur site,,, n the tour thru that museum of farm equipment. Wonderful.... I grew up in Hudson Valley of NYS..... Highland, one side of the park"walkway over the Hudson" " many of us who lived there had worked ten yrs to have park completed .. worth the trip...
Those varied A. palmatums are just so beautiful. I have a sneaking feeling that, at some point, there will be a beautiful Japanese style Zen or Tea Pavilion Garden taking shape within the wonderful landscape of Flock. I hope so!
I am so happy to see you embracing Acers and specifically Acer palmatum. This is a lovely episode.
Thank you Ms. Summer. I’m not telling you what to do , but I would cage those tress pretty darn high. We’ve had rabbits on our property for years, I don’t know how many trees, shrubs and whatever else they like to eat that they have girdled or destroyed. Anything that I would like to have come back the next spring I have to cage. Just a thought 🌸💚🙃
I fell in love with Japanese maples when we moved into our parents old home. My dad who has passed on was was a master gardener. He had planted many different Japanese maples around the property. It is absolutely stunning to see these fully mature trees throughout the seasons. It is breathtaking beautiful. I think I have a Japanese maple and conifer addition now. They’re so unique and brings such a unique quality to the landscape and color. Oh the colors. I love your videos on the land. It’s really inspiring me to maybe start planting some of these natives you share in other videos and special cultivar’s on our land with 2 10 acre ponds. It’s 160 acres so that would be back breaking work but the beauty would be magical. I really love how your paying tribute to those before you while learning to lean into something new. It is absolutely stunning what y’all have done. Great video!! Take care.
I love the way you have planted the front bed and how you explained your plant choices!
I've just moved back to Rochester NY from ND, and I'd recommend at least visiting Oriental Garden Supply in Pittsford NY to see a nursery with quite a few Japanese Maples. There might be others, but that is the first I've found.
I appreciate you so much watching you has given me so much knowledge in the awareness of plants
oh good job explaining because when i first saw this i thought "i thought you only wanted native" ... so it helped that you explained that you inherited these trees and kudos to you that you have been open to understanding and appreciating different types of gardeners and their choices.
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Can’t wait to see the new ones grow! They are all so beautiful. Have you considered weeping willows by the pond? I love how they look near water.
Very timely... I just planted a Japanese Red Maple this spring in memory of a dear friend who passed away last year because we are in Canada (maples) and she had gorgeous red hair. I live on a west coast gulf island in BC, Canada and they do very well here.
Enjoyed the video and found the information very useful.
Japanese Maples are my favorite! such a beautiful video and great information.
that lazy leaf color.....wow....amazing....maples are fantastic
Thank you for this video! I'm buying a Japanese maple next year and this was so helpful 💛
japanese maples are gorgeous and quite diverse....ty for the nice tour :)
What a beautiful place you live. I love the colors on that Acer Palmatum ´Lacy leaf.´ Never seen that variant before.
I’m a maple fan and is really gorgeous what you’ve shown here and the cool explanation. Just lovely eye show!
You are doing such a wonderful beautiful job
The maple tree near the lake makes the view so heavenly
Been trying to grow Japanese Maple from seed that I received as a gift...Not successful but they are my favorite trees, along with oaks and cypress
They need to a period of cold stratification to germinate, so put it outside where it will get some light frost over the winter. Also keep in mind that the longer the seed was sat not doing anything, the longer it takes to grow, if it all, sometimes seeds will die
Very inspiring, thank you ❤
Love this!
That low rounded Japanese maple is stunning!!!
I just love Japanese Maples due to their beauty & gracefulness. Despite their cultivar or size, they can be pruned & shaped to be much smaller. That’s the whole technique to bonsai. They are so very versatile.
Absolutely fabulous Japanese Maples you have. I have a red one in a pot now, but want more. The deer pressure on them in my garden is high, so I’ll have to be creative to protect them 😆🌳🍁
Maples are likely my favorite tree. I'm originally from the NE US but live in Japan now, along with my Japanese maples I have a couple Acer saccharum also, just a reminder of home.
That Cherry Jubilee is perfect for the color of your home!
I have many maples, and appreciate your video
I remember the first time I encountered you Summer, back in 2013 in your beautiful apartment chocked full of plants (do you have any photos or footage of what your place looked like way back then?). I was inspired to do the exact same thing to my dads’ newly renovated house in North Carlton, Melbourne. Of course - that never really happened indoors, but when the opportunity arose to pour my heart and soul into the front and backyards’ in 2021 and this year, I couldn’t resist. Now in my first rental property I am again confronted with the mammoth task of rehabilitating a HUGE neglected garden. At the moment, I am in the thick of it (anybody know shortcuts for breaking down piles of logs and rocks?). I love watching your videos, and feel as I become more knowledgeable and informed, your content matches in nuance each time.
Thanks for uploading!! Do you watch any of Peter Chan’s videos? He’s a large Maple Bonsai FANATIC in the UK. I think of him as the Bonsai Messiah/Prophet.
So.great to learn alittle more. Since moving to a 5b home, from a 9, I have wanted to buy a Japanese maple, but know so little about them. The expense is also a factor. We have a good nursery here, so I will probably work with them when selecting one.
Gorgeous trees. 🍁🍂🍃
I think that the former owner fell in love with these quietly elegant, Maples and the romantic, exotic fantasy surrounding them. After that, he 'only had eyes' for them and was heading in a new direction, creating his peaceful surroundings, as if to transport himself to a far-away place, without leaving home. Pretty clever. Can you see these trees out of any windows of the buildings? My neighbors have their 4-5 different kinds, planted under some huge old trees, which provide shade over their yard, most of the day. They water and nurture them, as if they were family pets and this yard has its own more humid, atmosphere, as if it had lots of moss. There are rocks and beautiful plants all around them. Their trees have grown minimally in 12 years, towards the sky, but they seem to have gotten tastefully wider. Still, these owners remain unseen, so I don't get to ask my questions. They must garden at night.
With fruit, I can understand a graft, but with other trees I don't understand. My parents tried to explain our grafted tree, when I was a child, but it seemed so shockingly unnatural. Is there a better reason? Thanks. Loved this video, of course. Aw, Japanese Maples. How intuitive was the nursery owner and who better can continue, towards fulfilling his vision, the vision which others, can apparently see, than the Flock? 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐓Reflection in the water... Wow. Water nurtures and seeks it's own way too.
The green lace leaf maple is more than likely an Acer palmatum dissectum waterfall. One of the favs, they do burn in afternoon sun a little easier than others but the spring color is insane.
Love Japanese Maples 💕
Nice video, even you are not an expert , great info. Thank you
I was completely engrossed this entire video. Your property is unbelievably beautiful. What is the last song? Lol.
How many hours do you yourself spend weeding & trimming, deadheading or watering each day? How do the other Flock members contribute who are not 'plant' people but are doing other things to build your general infrastructure? I am partnering with someone on 2 properties this month....I have the 300+ potted plants which I have been growing from my own cuttings, tubers etc for at least 4 years....so many hours of care! Not to mention my own lawns & gardens on site and off.
Love your utube showing how you love your land in so many ways! We’ve done the same since in our early thirties now late 60s.
Its so hard to differentiate different types. Ive got Crimson Queen and it looks exactly like this. I live in Brisbane, Queensland and we have subtropical weather and im just stretching the plant a bit. Haha but its loving its life under a shade tree.
Thanks!
Thank you for the sweet tip Nachi. Much appreciated.
Bloody beautiful 😍
Summer! you are very sunburnt, your skin is taking on the colour of the maples :D be sun safe
Where I am in Ireland, 'Bloodgood' is the only variety that seems to do very well for most people. It's not my favorite in appearance, but it's wind resistant, and I suspect that it's more tolerant of higher Ph than other varieties, even the species.
I have watched almost every episode - what a great place you are making! I think it was on another channel that I heard a fellow speak who was very much into native plants. He thought that varieties with variegated or red foliage were in the end not good for the various birds and insects that feed on them. I'm not sure if it was because they don't produce as much, or any clorophyll. I guess the plant still gets to photosynthesize, or produce energy from the sun, even without clorophyll. Can you please comment on this, and maybe make clarify the thinking a little for me?
Well done on the momiji video! I hope you will consider incorporating male and female ginkgo trees; not only are they extraordinarily beautiful, but they go way back in the fossil record and are naturally pest resistant.
Thank you! This is a great episode. I have an enormous Japanese Maple that has quite a bit of moss and lichen and bark is falling off and I’m just sick about it. Idk if it’s sick or what but need to find someone to look at it, it’s suck a big part of my landscape.
On the deer problems...when I was managing a Japanese maple nursery. I only ever saw deer on trees found stressed but with young leaves. Typically I found the deer came after a maple that maybe have had heat and lack of water related damage upon a fresh new leaf out the deer would devour those new leaves.
We really want to have one in our garden but the prairies are just too cold for them.
However, I planted a Japanese Maple last year here in zone 3b and cover it up with mulch and snow in winter. The whole top died but the root ball somehow survived.
We’re not sure how much of the new growth will survive next year but I’ll keep it there to see how it goes.
I love that Lazy Leaf.
Us too. We were initially on the fence of getting it, but so happy we made that investment.
Is the actual name "Lazy"? I've tried searching online to no avail. Coldwater pond does not have Lazy Leaf on their retail list.

Summer, please do a video of the Japanese maples in their Fall colors.
I am so inlove of maple esp this japanese one but we can't grow like this in my country so I settle with poinsettia and any red-tone leafy plants
Your shoulder muscles are popping 😁
💪
So.. not only you like indoor plants. Now you like japanese maples. Incredible.
Katsura and Acer palmatum💚 ferns and miscanthus💚
👍👍
I’ve been looking for great gardening overalls and I love yours - would you mind sharing where you got them?
Also, my husband and I just love your videos. In fact, we are taking inspiration from your tour of the Cornell winter garden and are going to use a bunch of those plants in an area we’re redoing. That garden is just glorious!
The quality of your content and cinematography is excellent and we’ve learned a ton from you all! Thanks for making such educational and interesting videos.
Pruning - yes please. My next door neighbor has one. It's beautiful but 10 years after it covered my small front yard and patio. I don't get sunlight which mean I can't plant anything coz they won't survive. It sucks. Here in Canada, it'a a struggle to get trees trimmed. You have to go through a lot of city paperwork. Made me hate that tree now or my neighbor
Yeah bloodgood most say 5-8 meter, but J.D. Vertrees (best book of japanese maple culvitars) rates 10 meter, wich is much more accurate at 20-30 year mark.
Funny i was super curious wich tree was on other side of water, since it's wild area, and japanese maple wouldn't grow/seed there but the colour was suspicious xd it is one after all :D I love the contrast it give in forest.
I was gifted a green Japanese maple. Appears to be a tall n not mounding...... Zone 8a intense sun..... Having difficulty figuring where to plant.......
I am collecting Japanese maples so far I’ve collected 11 cultivars.
❤🍁
A lot of red maples will turn green in late spring/summer. Actually, most maples will have an early spring color and then slowly change colors in the summer to a darker green . Even reds that keep their color will go from a bright red to a dark maroon color in summer.
I see a crossover with Mr. MAPLE SHOW

That red split leaf maple probably could be moved away from the building in fall ... that would be a great plant in a large planter... sorta like a bonsai ... it's really up on that railing.
Girl , you live in heaven
🥰
We cant have too many Japanese maples!
We toured Japans gardens all over primarily Kyoto , definitely recommend this trip!
Is there a risk of the grafted maples being killed by extreme cold?
Deer damae, more resons to reintroduce wolves into the environment east of the MIssissippi river. Or you can hire someone to spray your plants withhot pepper spray.
in zone 9A, we only give our japanese maple only morning sun 3-4 hours only. We are too hot!
You need animals cleaning the garden 🪴 maybe birds
Your labeled 'Jeddeloh Orange' could be a 'Baldsmith'
Thank you!
