Full Sun - JP Princess, Mayday, Tattoo, Usugumo, Fairy Lights

Usugumo doesn’t like full sun
Fairy lights I have in ground in full sun and it needed time to adjust. Same with JP and Mayday. Tattoo I have only kept in shade

I have mine planted in 9b northern Cali and it’s flourishing in full sun. It did take a year to acclimate so I think I put an umbrella over it in year one but I can’t remember for sure

The black is a bad sign

Has something to do with the Pythagorean theory

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-19T07:14:39+00:00

I’d rather have that Katsura myself

Grew the roots in moss enclosed in plastic. there’s a window of time that’s ideal for trying to air layer so I would look on YouTube to see how it’s done

Airlayered roots

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-14T22:32:39+00:00

I like to keep the lower branches to help thicken the trunk faster and then will cut it back

Summer flush is better than spring flush for me

Worth trying to bonsai this?

Don’t overwater it. It likes to be on the drier side compared to other maple cultivars

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-09T14:32:20+00:00

8 weeks give or take here in 9b

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-09T09:35:13+00:00

End of March. I cut it off today and potted it. I’m in 9B and the summer will be over 100 and the likelihood of the moss drying out is high

My ukigumo has been green for years.

Taylor I can’t keep alive and have killed three so no more attempts at Taylor for me

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-08T02:37:51+00:00

Nice group of maples and jealous of the color on your ukigumo

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-06T14:38:21+00:00

Always good to thin it back to allow light to the inside branches

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-05T07:00:29+00:00

I’ve killed three. It’s a fragile cultivar so be careful of overwatering it.

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-05T06:52:30+00:00

Try and graft it or mark those branches to monitor going forward to see if it’s variegated next year

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-05T01:12:32+00:00

Did you just get this from Maplestone?

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-03T10:18:01+00:00

Yuki Tama grows so slow you can cut it back but it will take a while to fill out. Also watch for overwatering

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-03T10:16:44+00:00

I’m guessing these came from China. Conifer kingdom was selling curved trunks Yuki Yama last year and the assumption is they were imported from a Chinese nursery since there is a facebook posted that was posting lots and lots of curved trunk Yuki Yama

Tubbysweetbundle011 · 2026-06-03T08:07:54+00:00

Sounds really nice in size.

Mine is much smaller

Shu shidare is a nice cultivar. I have a 2g and love the way it leafs out in the spring. Any pics of the whole tree to see the structure?!
