Great advise .
I really like your Japanese maple. It is healthy and growing vigorously. 👍👍 I wonder if it can be shipped to the United States? 😅😅
Absolutely. Most maples are hairless, so this one is very rare.
Why not cypress mulch?
I don't know about cypress. I mention cedar mulch here. Cedar is well known to have certain natural compounds (tannins) which negatively affect the growth of other plants.
@@SimplyJapaneseMaples oh… i may have heard it wrong. I’ve forever done landscaping for a living, and i don’t think I’ve ever used it or had anyone request it specifically. Cypress is the most popular and most common where i live. Hard to find non-dyed mulch (in bulk). Not sure if commonality or popularity varies by region. I like pine bark mulch but it just doesn’t stretch as far as cypress or cover completely
@@Midnight_Gardener Ya, I'm not familiar with Cypress. Of course the materials available vary from region to region as you stated. Fir bark, hemlock, pine, etc..
@@SimplyJapaneseMaples is fir and hemlock mulch common in your area?! Or you just making examples? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen either in mulch form. Small chance I’ve come across fir… definitely never seen hemlock. Can’t really grow them here at all. I don’t think either really get down to zone 8b
@@Midnight_Gardener It's everywhere in the PNW.
