About 10 years ago someone gave us a small ; really small japanese maple tree. Well fast forward to now its about 8 ft tall. It is growing everywhere and in every shape. What I would love to do is to take a branch of it and replant it somewhere in the yard. Any ideas of if this would work. Otherwise I am going to have to stake it to have it grow straight up.
It is a beautiful tree ; even if it is growing out of shape.
you cannot take off a branch plant it and make it grow. Japanese Maples are propagated by either seed or grafting.
Go into Google and type in Propagating Japanese Maple Trees and you will find several sites that are helpful in their propagation.
With some thoughtful pruning, the fact that it is growing everywhere would work to your advantage. Part of the beauty of Japanes Maples is their branching patterns in the winter. Many/most of them are not supposed to grow straight up. Here's a beauty:
That is an awesome Japanese Maple I put it on my Nashville web page for Japanese Maples. I have other Japanese Maples on this site if you want to look at them.
How do I post links correctly? I tried to fix that link 4 times. Can anyone please respond to let me know.
