It's really interesting how cultivars spread over the world over time! Im in the UK and it was pretty impossible to get a Red Sentinel in the UK until last year, now they are everywhere. I think you guys are actually driving the international market for Acers. Most of my trees are in pots too!
Hi Tim and Aaron! I live in zone 9b Texas Gulf Coast area, and I really want a weeping dwarf laceleaf "stays red 🤞" that can live in a pot. This will be my 1st JM. I also really like the Orangeola and need to know it's preferences please. TYIA
The issue for you is going be be that in a pot they will need a lot of shade. Shade can green up a red for sure but is required in such a hot area. My best choices for you would be ‘Tamukeyama’ one of the most heat tolerant. Also ‘Red Filigree’ which holds its color well in heavy shade.
@@MrMapleShow oh great because ive been adding to my cart but cant check out because i am not sure with what i am buying. my house is north facing so mu trees will be in a south. I am planning to buy mikawa yatsubusa, baton rouge, and summer gold. are these three good enough to withstand the heat of 9b?
Thx for the tip, Aaron. I live just down the road from you in Fremont, California. It can get pretty hot here.
Very cool!
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
