Is it Peter I thought it wS David these grasses are worse than I thought

i fell out of my tree too lol. thanks for another great video peter!

I cannot tell you how much this video helped me. My Japanese Maple died out and I thought I killed it! You’ve made me feel so much better and I have already starting to see new growth!

Thank you for sharing this. I'm so glad this doesn't only happen to me! Also, good to know that defoliating will help.

Hi there!! Here in Greece, this time of year, we have temperatures like 35-42 Celsius and it's very difficult to keep up with our trees! Thank you for all the knowledge that you share all this time!!!

I loved your off-hand comment, about 4 minutes in, to the effect that: "if you leave the watering to your children, this is what will likely happen." Quite funny, but sadly, true!

Can relate and acknowledge from own experience. 😂In younger ages they drown and in older ages they simply forget to water.

Peter, just watched you on Gardeners World. It was great to see you on such a widely viewed show. Loved the trees you showed. I’ve been watching and learning from your videos for quite some time. Thanks for all you have done to educate us. Cheers!

Thx for sharing Peter 👍

My little maple did the same thing in my heatwave last month! I did this and now there are tons of buds all over it and the leafs are unfurling ❤

Thank you Peter for this episode and thank you for being so generous with your wisdom ... not only Bonsai related. 🐒🌳

I just brought back a bunch of small trees all around a foot tall from a campground in northern Michigan. Thought I had lost about 10 of them. I trim them back just like this and voila maybe lost two😊. The campground is extending its camping area into a new portion of the woods they let me save a bunch of little trees before they started bulldozing😊

Interesting indeed. I've lost a few maples like that. If only I had known I could have given them the chance to revive... d'oh!

6:20 that's amazing. I've never seen a tree without leaves and thought "that tree looks naked" instead of "that tree looks dead." Even in the winter, which I know is wrong. These trees look naked.

A very timely video. I just frazzled my trident maple forest group.. It’s really hard to keep up even my small collection when it’s hot and dry in my near desert climate in the American Rocky Mountain west. I took Peters advice and leaf trimmed it and now I will cross my fingers and keep watering.

Thank you. Love your simplicity. Very helpfull.

Thank you Peter, very timely lesson in how to deal with maples in hot weather, all my maples are in a shaded structure so I have no damaged leaves, up to this point I have only had to water in the morning but if and when it becomes much hotter I will water twice along with other deciduous trees. Just a point to mention some pots can get very hot depends on the pot makeup so your idea to place in trays of water will help to keep the pots cooler even if the water is not covering the pot, it still helps, but make sure the water in the trays are not getting warm in very hot periods especially in very hot countries climates.

Very timely video since we are under a heatwave here in New England (US).

"Even monkeys fall out of trees..." That's great...!

I look forward to the update video!

I have one particular, small Deshojo maple that occasionally causes me concern when it gets leaf scorch and then requires a full defoliation to revive it and encourage the second flush of leaves.

These Acers are originally sub canopy trees, the leaves are far more delicate because of this, which is why they are being grown under shade, but also, sub canopies tend to have greater humidity and less wind, both things reduce transpiration, and so reduce water stress. So some other ways to help is to reduce wind speeds, and increase humidity.

@peterchan3100

Our maples in the field are in full sun. Full sun creates better autumn colour.

Hi Peter sorry to hear that some of your trees dried out. I was wondering have you ever used any form of anti-transpirant to mist on the leaves of your Malpes after they have hardened off. The one I use is called Wilt Pruf and it coats the leaves so they do not need watered / dry out as much.

@peterchan3100

No I haven't

It hit 46 celcius (115 F) in the seattle area a couple summers ago. Our water bill was incredibly high as we had to water our trees 4-5 times a day.

Sooooo sorry.hope they come back!

Maybe you need a whiteboard for yourself and staff to ensure watering? Thankyou for the knowledge as always. Very useful. I've had issues with my maples last summer and now I'm prepared for the next.

A good tip to know 👍

very helpful video, i wish i knew this 2 years ago as i had an old maple die on me :(

When I was really new to maples my Bloodgood got attacked by aphids and while I was trying to figure out that the soil dried out. It dropped every leaf and I panicked. A week later I dumped about 40/60 litres of water on the roots and watered every day after. It made a great comeback and now it’s getting big and strong.

Thanks Peter, Now I know what to do when the monkey falls out of the tree you cut the leaves. 🤔 Thanks for the insight. Take care and have a blessed week.🙏🙏🙏

Usually if you ask your children to water they can’t be relied on’ 😂😂😂

Love the video Peter it’s good to know what I should do if it all goes wrong. Peter I bought a tree from you last august for my birthday and came and met you. It’s Andy from bonsai crazy. I was hoping I would be able to get a one to one lesson from you for my birthday this year. Using the tree I purchased from you, as being a beginner I really need it 😂😂 Being a KZreadr myself it may be an opportunity for a video for yourself. How much would a personal lesson cost, or is it on the website?? Thanks Peter // Andy 👊👊

Hi Peter, thanks for the good instructions. Ever since i moved my ficus microcarpa outside in early May, im having trouble with burned leaves. I know its normal that they get burned while the tree is getting used to the sun, however the new growth from the past week also starts to get burned. I also moved a ficus benjamina outside at the same time, which got burned in the beginnng but after removing the burned leaves the new grwoth seems to have adopted to the sun and its looking very good know. This makes me wonder if microcarpa prefers a bit more shade while benjamina is a sunlover once properly adjusted. This is in Germany and and it hasnt been all that sunny in the past weeks.

Peter, once again thank you for the valuable information. I have a question. Forcing a severely sun burnt deshojo for example to produce all new foliage, does this tax the tree? I mean does the tree use valuable resources to produce the foliage? I live in the desert and my maples are struggling thanks for the help always. -Joe

This happened to one of my trees recently and I was absolutely heartbroken! The leaves are all gone now (and have been for a while) but I've not seen any signs of new growth, is there anything i can do to encourage it or should I keep waiting?

Thank you. This recently happened to a couple maple seedlings that I transplanted from this past spring. I hope this method also works for me. Should I leave the pot outside where it was or let it “recover” inside from the heat?

If you wrap the plastic tightly round the moss ball - it should not dry out at all. We never have to water the moss ball once the air layering is made. We just wait for the new roots to emerge

Again, thanks for all of the information you share, I thoroughly enjoy your videos.

Is complete defoliation necessary or can you just take off the dead leaves and wait it out until next spring?

Hi Peter, just purchased my first acer, it's not a bonsai yet since it needs a lot of training so I am looking to get wire, and then try to control it a bit by cutting some of the branches as it is so vigorous that each node has 3-6 offshoots. Since it's a young sapling still, it looks like maybe a 3-4 year old, I am unsure as to whether I should watch out for something in case I mess up, or should I go with the flow, wire it to the desired future shape and give a good ol' haircut every now and then? The climate is the same as at your nursery.

@@peterchan3100 Thank you for the response, was also wondering what size wire would be suitable for such a young tree. Amazon has 1mm,1.5mm and 2mm wire packs, but I wanted to work a bit with the trunk too since it's still somewhere malleable, and I do not know if 2mm is enough? Or maybe Amazon is not the best place to buy wire 😅. I must get plane tickets to UK and visit herons for a workshop at some point, but for now I guess I'll keep watching all of the videos!

Would this same idea be applied to a branch being air layered? I have an arakawa Japanese maple whose leaves got a little fried in the summer. Should I defoliate the branch?

Be a bit careful as defoliation at this stage might not encourage roots to develop on the air layering. Best not to.
