  Hey, thanks for the upload. I’m in zone nine and just this year, I have added six varieties of Japanese maples to my bonsai collection. For decades, I was afraid of Japanese maples. Glad to report I give them morning Direct sunlight and diffused after around 1 PM. Even twice &nbsp;successful <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrD4eRJcUn8&amp;t=370">6:10</a> &nbsp;doing air layering. &nbsp;And that still amazes me. 😮😊

  For my 2¢, if anyone is more interested in getting a larger tree fast as opposed to what exactly that JM looks like, then honestly I&apos;d recommend going with a base Acer palmatum and not one of the varietals (i.e. the JM your varietal is grafted onto). As many have learned from seeing below-the-graft shoots taking off, your basic palmatum is usually much more vigorous than any of its varietals, and once well established can add on 2-3 feet of growth per year easily. A good option if you&apos;re wanting to build up and develop your landscape in the shortest time possible.

  My niece sent me a baby Japanese Maple from Oregon to Tampa fl. I just transferred &nbsp;it to better pot with the best soil available. &nbsp;I hope to see it grow to a big tree in 15 years.

  Well done once again. I was once as passionate as you regarding plants. I got lost a bit but trying to locate that passion again. You are helping me.

  Absolutely love your videos, Jim! Very informative and have learned so many new plants! I do have a few points in your video. I live in Central Indiana (border on zone 5b and 6a) Japanese Maples do not tolerate full sun well here. In fact the thrive in near full shade or morning sun and afternoon shade. The leaves scorch in afternoon sun, and the color can completely bleach from the leaves by the end of Summer. While I do totally agree with you they do best with some direct sun, I always avoid full sun even in zone 5. Zone 5 summers are just as hot and humid as the Deep South.

  Thank you for this! I bought a maple last year and planted in the fall. &nbsp;It was simpled labeled &apos;Acer Palmatum&apos; and I&apos;ve been trying to figure out which cultivar. &nbsp;By watching this video I am fairly certain now that it is some variety of Coral Bark, which I am thrilled about! I can&apos;t wait for it to wake up this spring and mature!
