I am not crazy about these trees. In the PNW, there seems to be one in the corner of every suburban front yard - right next to the dwarf weeping cherry. Probably from Home Depot or Lowes... :(
i don't know why people love these trees...I HATE them!
I have a huge one in our front yard and want to get rid of it before it starts filling out.
We live in the Boring/Eagle Creek area of Oregon and want to find buyers for my 6 Japanese Red leaf maple tree's....several of them are pretty large.
How can I go about selling them?
I have a friend who has back-hoe equipment and he will dig it out carefully...put down huge metal plates his back-hoe will sit on as our driveway and walkway is decorative brick and can't be messed with.
This video is useless.
This does not provide any useful material as how to properly prune, not just a lace but any of the Japanese maples. Painfully obvious that she does not know how to prune; you never ever cut stems with the cutting edge of the secatuers facing away from the stem, THAT LEAVES A STUMP!
Thank you, someone who understands its growth pattern and simple to the point..
Good video! thanks...
