What japanese maple holds its best color in the summer without burning or fading?
Q. Japanese maples have a tendencie to fade in the summer and I want a red maple that will hold its color. Any suggestions?

A. Make sure you purchase a grafted tree - NOT a seedling. I like 'Bloodgood' as it has a very dark red foliage that retains its color even in summer heat. I will add that some trees are more red than others, even grafted trees. Try to purchase one in the summer that has been exposed to direct sunlight. You will get a chance to see how red the tree is. You can purchase it and plant it in the fall when the conditions are right for planting.

How do I protect a Japanese Maple from drying out during the hot summer?
Q. I have an awesome Japanese Maple that seems to be really getting hit harder this year by the sun then it has in the past. I have upped the amount of water it gets each day as well as spraying it down after the sun drops in the evening. No matter what I do the leaves at the outside and the top just keep drying out and falling off. This tree is way to expensive and beautiful to lose but I don't have anywhere else to put it due to its size (It is really large for a Japanese Maple). Thanks for your thoughts.

What do I do to help my young maple tree keep its leaves longer?
Q. I have a 6 foot tall young maple tree, and eventhough most other maples in the area are turning colors, mine is still vivid green and lush. I want it to stay green longer...what do I do to help it? Water it or dont? Fertilize it or dont? Also, different maples have different colors either yellow, orange and red. Is there any way I can alter the color of mine? Like by adding certain elements to the soil? should I fertilize during the fall?

A. No you can't change the color, but you might see a change in the colors intensity from year to year. Some years you'll be lucky with keeping the leaves green and others not, it's all down to the sugars in the tree being affected by the frost. If you have an early frost you'll get early color, if you get strong winds, you'll lose the display alltogether.

How do I take care of my young maple tree?
Q. Last spring, I have brought a 5 foot maple tree from forest, and planted it near my driveway. The first summer, the tree did fine, closer to the fall, instead of having bright yellow or red leaves, they just faded and fell off. I have fertilized the tree all last year, winter and spring. This year, the leaves are much bigger and much more plentiful. The tree has grown about 4 inches. So here are my questions. 1. How can I make the tree grow faster taller? (There are still tiny, undeveloped leaves on the ends of the branches) 2. How can I make my maple have vibrant colors in leaves during the fall? 3. In general, any treatments that would make my maple have a better life? sugar maple

A. If you dug the tree from the forest and then planted it, you probably had more top than the root system you dug up could support. I've had best luck by root pruning around the tree in the forest in the fall, and then come spring, digging it up and moving it to the new location - a wives tale that I also follow is to tie a ribbon to the tree before moving indicating north and then plant it facing the same way. Once in place with a good amount of water regularly, cut back the limbs following good pruning practices.

What are the principles behind maple sap evaporators and pans?
Q. I've been wondering how these maple sap evaporators and pans work together. I've read that most small sugarhouses uses two pans: flue pan and a syrup pan over an arch. Sap enters the back of the blue pan and as it boils it moves forward towards the syrup pan. What's the principle behind this? How does the more syrupy liquid flow down the syrup pan without mechanical assistance? I don't think it's angled down to make it flow downwards, but I'm not sure.

A. get bigger pots.. put good quality potting soil in them. Transplant the seedlings and keep them moist...not wet, though.. Feed with water soluble fertilizer once every two months (at recommended rate). In a 3 gallon nursery pot, your maple (hopefully) will grow to 3-4 feet by fall. Then, in the fall, plant them in your yard. In 20 years, you'll live in a forest. Good luck.

Why do my 2 large maple trees behave differently in the fall?
Q. I live in Ohio and I have 2 large maple trees in my yard. It's November, and we've had a couple of hard frosts and some very windy days. One of my maple trees has turned its fall colors and lost most of its leaves. The other tree, just a few yards away, is still heavy with green leaves. What would make my two trees behave differently?
Asked by reg - Wed Nov 7 13:36:13 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Fall coloration and abscission is a result of shorting daylight, weather and a tree's genetics. If your two trees are the same variety of maple, then the question needs to be asked if they where propagated via vegetative means (cuttings, etc.) or sexually (seeds). Seed propagated trees will have, just like people, different genetic material from one tree to the next. This is one possibility for the variation. If they where genetically identical (vegetative propagation), then I would look to environmental differences (slope, elevation, water patterns over roots, shade patterns, etc.) such as the previous post has suggested.

A. Trees have the best chance of surviving a move if you wait till they are dormant. Till they have lost all their leaves and are bare. Then transplant it, don't fertilize it, use some root stimulator if you want to, but fertilizer will wake it up and you want the growth to rest right after transplanting. You can wait till very early spring, before he puts out any leaves, to move him.

Asked by Billa Bong - Mon May 19 12:56:10 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The flow rate is greatest in the day due to transpiration and cellular respiration. In transpiration water is drawn up through a tree by evaporation from the leaves. This in turn pulls water up the xylem via capillary action. This water movement creates most of the pressure to drive sap flow. This is why sap flow is greatest at the warmest part of the day when most water is evaporating from the tree. Another factor is the fact that in spring the night temperatures can drop below freezing. This fluctuation in day to night temperatures helps drives the flow. After the night cools the sap contracts and draws water from the soil. Cellular respiration also plays a role in generating internal pressure by releasing CO2 to the sap flow. The… [cont.]

A. The flow rate is greatest in the day due to transpiration and cellular respiration. In transpiration water is drawn up through a tree by evaporation from the leaves. This in turn pulls water up the xylem via capillary action. This water movement creates most of the pressure to drive sap flow. This is why sap flow is greatest at the warmest part of the day when most water is evaporating from the tree. Another factor is the fact that in spring the night temperatures can drop below freezing. This fluctuation in day to night temperatures helps drives the flow. After the night cools the sap contracts and draws water from the soil. Cellular respiration also plays a role in generating internal pressure by releasing CO2 to the sap flow. The… [cont.]

why does my maple tree have red spores on its leaves?
Q. My silver maple tree seems to be healthy, but some of the leaves have what appear to be red spores, I'm not sure what they are. They appear to be on just one side of the tree.

A. "Nothing! Enjoy the mosaic that the eriophyid mites have created on your silver maple. They cause no harm, and there is no effective spray for them."

What is the difference between a crimson queen japanese maple and a hybrid?
Q. Hi, I live in NY. The local nursery said the hybrid crimson queen japanese maple is cheaper than the regular one and hold its color longer. If this is the case why would anyone buy the more expensive original one?

A. There is nothing wrong with an original plant variety. Many growers are developing hybrids now to make use of what is called "hybrid vigor". The practice of hybridizing mixes in new genes that may improve certain things the original had issues with (examples: the original may have been susceptible to a certain disease, but due to hybridizing, the new plant is disease resistant (not proof) to that particular disease. It works just like natural selection and evolution in the animal world. Mixing in the new genes makes a stronger plant.

What color tile flooring should I use with natual maple colored cabinets?
Q. I have natural maple colored cabinets and an emerald pearl granite countertop. (dark green almost black with quartz flakes througout the granite). I'm having a hard time deciding on the right color of tile flooring to put into my kitchen. I would like to have a warm and inviting look and feel that will enhance both the granite countertop and cabinets. I would probably look at a coordinating backsplash as well. I get alot of natural light in the kitchen. Thanks!

A. Your granite counter top have created the contrast with your cabinets having a dark hardwood floor will make your kitchen dark and you will need more lighting to compensate. Maple in somewhat darker than your cabinet will give justice to your kitchen. Backsplash will look better if you will use contrast with the counter top it looks better than keeping the same shade.
