Re: Q's For Doug....
HI,
WOw something I know about...
Hey I love them dwarf maples. The one thing I ve noticed is many are grown in the nursery chopped out of the ground leaving most of the roots behind and then placed in a pot with clay soil for moisture Wrapped in bulap.. lost a couple before I finally relaized somethin was wrong with the tree's and when I dug it up was I mad. I spent around 50.00 buck for that maple..
I ve seen them at wall mart in a tiny pot barely1 y/o and that is ther perfect size they are around 10.00that size. They can be grown from seeds never tried
I ve never ordered any trees on line. It could be risky and many are nursery grown ripped out of the ground and may die in a year. Or they send you a twig that's 6 inches long with no leaves. One the size of mine would be between 600.00 to 1,000 buck at a good nursery so growing them can be profitable. if you have a few years to waste.. Mine is proably around 5 years old. Those rich people will pay anything for their weekend garden they throw up over nite. they don't want to wait they want the effect now..
Mine dosen't like full sun so I make sure to place them some what in the shade of another group of tree's they can get sunburn when its really hot. I like those 1/2 wisky barrels for growing them, they can grow in a built up bed. You need drain holes and I use pieces of clay pots in the bottom of the barrel to assist drainage. I do the same with all my potted plants.
try to trim them in an umbrella like shape watch for suckers coming out at the base. Any they don'e like strong fertilizer or many insectasides... Geezee they are pretty though.

I love those maples and weeping cherry trees.
As Doug said.... save the money and buy from a reputable greenhouse/nursery. Ask the nursery about a "warranty" on the tree too.Comment
