- Can you dig up and transplant a Japanese maple? We're going to find out. I'm going to be transplanting a red lace leaf Japanese maple that is in the way of our new home build. It's been planted in it's current location for close to 15 years and has a huge root system. This is going to take bigger equipment and a lot of pruning but in the end, we'll be able to keep our red lace leaf Japanese maple for planting in a better location. Plus, it's got sentimental value for my wife so we've got to get this done!

Glad you’re close to building! That’s exciting 👏
The tree will be fine, and good luck with the new house! That's great Mike. I hope you get everything you want in your new place.
Thanks! We certainly are looking forward to this.
I'm so excited for you and your family starting your new house build! I know it has been a dream for many years.
Yes, we've been talking about this for almost 17 years now. Really looking forward to this!
@@MikeKincaid79 You give me hope I will get to build my dream house one day too!
Congratulations I’m getting your permit test brilliant can’t wait for the build now. Excited for you all. Would love to see it when those trees come down.
It's all filmed. It'll be a few days or a week before that one is up. Still cleaning up the mess, lol.
How exciting! wishing your family a quick construction and move in to get settled. I bet the girls are gonna love the extra living space.
Thanks you, and yes, they are very excited to get into the new home. If all goes well, it could be August or September!
Beautiful.
Hi Mike. Thank you! I always enjoy watching your videos for many years now. Sending some Aloha from Oahu, Hawaii! 🤙
Thanks so much Erwin! I appreciate the Aloha. Love your island, especially snorkeling at Shark's Cove!
Good Job Mike !!!!!!!!! .....
Thanks, Mario!
Sometimes i secure leaning trees with chain to make sure they stay where i want them!
Are you referring to the 80 ft tall fir trees? And if so, how would you go about doing that?
@@MikeKincaid79 my trees are only 20'. But chain is stronger than wood. I bonsai cedar trees to force them to grow in the directions i want.
Sometimes i don't want to cut a branch because it gives shade but it is in the way. So i use chain to move it. I cut a little way into a branch to get it to flex. Then i wait for it to heal.
that's one way to get into bonsai mike. thanks to peter chan.
Haha, I was thinking the same thing.
Yup, it works, I got a coral bark maple transplanted to our yard just as it was leafing out in spring. Didn't but it back, and it grew 2 feet in one year.
Awesome!
Don’t look now, but you’re practicing your bonsai techniques. Hehe. Nice “yamadori”!
I’m envious of your collection method! A shovel and a shoulder is my route. Man, using that tractor looks like fun.
Thanks for sharing, brother. One step closer to the new home!!
It is a lot of fun to operate. I did the shovel method for years here and finally decided to take the plunge with the excavator. Of course, it's a little overkill for transplanting a small maple but hey, you gotta have fun doing it!
@@MikeKincaid79 Amen
Gently! was the my first thought in moving maple
Ha, you're definitely right. Wish I had more time but had to get it moved. It was fun anyway.
So, Mike, when are you planning to show Shelley her gorgeous Japanese Maple tree all tucked into its secret location? Inquiring minds would love to know! Don't worry, she'll understand eventually... so you won't have to spend eternity in the unheated doghouse, lol! 🤣😂🤣
I really enjoyed watching you prune the pine tree branches using the excavator... I wish I had one of those to prune and remove the hundreds of volunteer soft-wood maple trees and mulberry trees (planted by the birds) in my backyard. I'm excited for your sweet family and the new house build! I hope you are all having a wonderful week! ~Margie🤗
Thanks so much for that, Margie! You feel like family to me and it means a lot to read your comments. As far as Shellie and the maple, for some reason I never considered she'd watch the video, lol. She came home from work tonight and said she watched it. Didn't look too happy, haha. I started spouting off convincing and reassuring words as fast as I could. She's going to let me live a little longer but I'm on a short leash for now.
@@MikeKincaid79 Lol, Mike, we both know you're already forgiven... Shellie just needed you to acknowledge (aka, admit) what happened to her beautiful tree. Women are like that, don't you know?🤗
This is awesome. I will be doing the same to one thats been setting for 20 to 25 years. Will be very interested to know how this one is doing for you. Happy Building in the meantime.
I’ll do an update soon. It’s doing well. Here’s a follow up I did for this video that explains the best steps to take for successful transplanting: czcams.com/video/u2mGyBb96-I/video.html
thanks
Welcome
That’s awesome! Congrats on building your new home! I d love to know more about Japanese maple trees?can you propagate them? Good luck with the trees😊
Yes, you can germinate the seeds, propagate them, graft them, etc. I have several videos about them: czcams.com/video/n8FQNx5DjJw/video.html | czcams.com/video/jM40O7l4vSA/video.html
Here's a series of videos about seedlings: czcams.com/video/UCycSgaeJxg/video.html That's part 1 of a 9 part series. Good luck!
@@MikeKincaid79 ThankYou so much 😊
Mike what did you sprinkler on the mulch before you watered it in (fertilizer)? Great video. Needing to move two of my 5+ year old weeping Japanese maples too because they are too close to the house and get snow damaged in the winter.
Fertilizer and Casaron. And if it helps you out, this tree is now leafing out well and looks great!
Hi Mike
Good luck on your new build, it's exciting and the Japanese maple. Sad to see trees being cut down. Will you replace them somewhere else?
Carol
I know, that was the hardest thing to do, but they needed to come down. I don't worry about replacing them because I've planted probably 1000 trees and shrubs on this property over the years. I have plans to plant another 240-300 fir trees on the side of my property to create a nice border this summer.
@@MikeKincaid79 that's great news.
Just yesterday I was wondering if I could move mine which is now in almost full sun due to the oaks dying. It has already begun to break dormancy so I guess I'll have to wait until next January. Please let us know how the little guy fares.
I will definitely update on this tree. By the way, Jap maples turn their most brilliant colors in full sun. You may want to leave it now. Just mulch well and water well for a couple years and it should look even better now that it has more sun.
They are a pretty tree. The older they get, the more they resemble a bonsai. Erosion? What's that? Oh, Grand Canyon! :) Ah, fun one, today. Yesterday I got 3 ton of rubble stone. Most is too small for a wall, so feel free to throw a few boulders on top the truck next time y'all come to AZ, nieto. But, today, clean up. some stuff too big to go in the chipper went in the back of the truck for a friend. I kid you not, I had to finish up 'cause the kid helping saw Mouser the rattler and refused to do any more there. Poor Mouser, it is sooo hard for her to make friends. Gotta get a nice bowl of warm yogurt for the poor baby. hasta, kid.
Haha, I keep telling my wife and kids to stop feeding the barn cats cause they're getting lazy!
@@MikeKincaid79 OK, when it warms up, up there, did you want me to pack up a nice Mouser (diamondbacks are sooo purty!) and send it? then, no more mouse problem, or lazy barcats, either. (Mouser refers to cats as fuzzy-tail rats.) Better yet! Next time you come down home, we'll go out in the brush with a burlap sack and stick and you can choose your own. Yeah, we have a lot of rattlers. You can tell because there are so many fat king snakes. hasta, nieto!
Looks Brutal but it works. Thanks Mike.
I'm looking forward to showing the growth after summer this year. Good to see ya, Paul.
@@MikeKincaid79 for some reason i am not getting YT notifications Luckily I am still subscribed.
Well I'm going to watch this. You said it was going to be day or two lol you must be Scotty from Star Trek.
I beamed it right up there, didn't I?
@@MikeKincaid79 lol 😂
No that was more like a brain surgeon 😷
Awww...bummer about the tree. Better now than on your house in a storm, I guess.
Yeah, ain't that right. Now that it's down, it actually looks really good and doesn't effect the overall look of the place in a negative way. More videos on the trees coming down and clean up.
"It was a necessary evil" 😂🤣🙏
LOL, yes
I did some cutting from Japanese maple and placed them in a plastic bottle cut in half. They have moisture in the the bottle. But the leaves are brown and falling off. It’s been in the bottles for about 3 weeks now. Should I take off the caps and let air in now ? Thx
Intermittent mist is a better option than using bottles when it comes to Japanese maples.
I would be interested in what root growth occurs in the next two years . . I'm constantly digging up my trees and I was disappointed that very little root growths vgriws from the thick roots . . I always strive to get a tight root ball with small . Tiny roots that look like hanging moss . Apparently it takes the lightest of dirt like rotted wood and straw or even artificial dirt like the rubber sand that comes with artifical turf to create fiberious mass of roots close to the trunkm I enjoyed thus video
Glad you're here Robert! We'll see what happens over time. I do put down a lot of mulch and that may contribute to all the fine hair like roots.
Mike, what did you shake all over the mulch? What was that powder
Well had I known the Fir was there I would have told you the same thing "Shellie is right". As to the Japmap, all you did was Bonsai it, welcome to my world lol. Now as it starts to regrow, wire it and train it to be the show piece.
It already looks better with those few trees down. Gives a much more open feel and will look nice with the home there. I was thinking the same thing about the maple and should have mentioned it in the video.
@@MikeKincaid79
Plus the Girls will be driving sooner than you think and will need a place to park... My Idea is still a good one Hint Hint lol. Also 3rd mancave is only about 100 a month more on the final Mortgage. Just saying
Maples are like weeds, you can't hardly kill them. Why they are the number one tree in bonsai.
I think it's because they take so well to bonsai and shaping.
@@MikeKincaid79 That, but you can chop most of the roots off and it will still recover. Foliage too, it'll just backup like crazy.
Hello, what is the ph (acidity) of the soil is best for petunias?
6 to 7
Is that the Japanese Maple from the grafting videos? Well, it's either going to die, or it's going to explode with growth lol. Either way we will need a update this summer. It should be fine though because you cut so much off the top. Hahaha Better get to digging! Let me know if you need a blanket, or better yet a heated mat for the doghouse 🤣😂 thanks for your time!
It's going to explode with growth, lol. No, this is a different maple. The grafted one is still on the side of the hoop house and waiting for me to pick a spot to plant it. I need to find a spot because it's about 6 feet tall now.
@@MikeKincaid79 yah hopefully you get time to plant it, it’s starting to be the busy season around here.
👏👏👏💜💜
Like using a sledgehammer on a finish nail.
haha, sure is
Do you spray paint the cut limbs so it won't rot.
No
Mike! Does it grow back?
Yes, it sure did. I did an update at the end of the summer: czcams.com/video/OU7NqIcLehw/video.htmlsi=qA8qvEIitF9X4QQx
NOOOOOO!😂 I’m treating my seeds and seedlings with silk gloves!
As you should, lol. I hated digging this up but it had to get moved fast for the home construction that starts on Monday!
I am curious if Japanese maple can grow on tropical countries. I live in the Philippines and some people are selling that tree here.
Not sure and I don't have personal experience with this. I do know that they do best in colder climates with a dormant period.
So sad to hear that you are not keeping that lovely tree.
We ARE keeping that lovely tree. I just moved it.
@@MikeKincaid79 I meant the huge one that you said mentioned at the beginning would be where you want the house foundation. Couldn't you move it? I know it's massive but it seems like such a waste of a lovely healthy tree...
@@mariaximena9221
It's the kind of tree children would have memories of picnicking under.
I cringed watching you hack at the tree. You have the experience so I will trust your knowledge and I look forward to seeing how it does.
It's going to do very well. I'll have an update.
Your wife needs a sawmill so she can process that fir tree into usable product ;).
No kidding. It’s going to become a lot of firewood but a sawmill would be nice.
Well, I hope you are right, that you haven't killed it. If I were you, I would hide it.
Oh it's hidden, hahaha
Liked the title. Lost interest when I found that step 1 is to own an escavator. sigh. I could buy and plant one that size for less $ than renting heavy machinery.
Well, it was fun anyway.
@@MikeKincaid79 Oh I'm glad lol.
I wish I had a mini ex - I also think you need to move the house not the tree- you don’t have anything that looks so nice
Trees can be planted and property can be landscaped.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh! Oh Shelley. What a shocker! I can’t imagine your face when you saw this!👀😳🫣 I really hope that it grows back better than ever!
She still hasn't seen it, haha. I've got it hidden in a safe spot and we don't talk about it, lol.
