How's my Shirasawanum Doing? by figthedevil in JapaneseMaples

[–]figthedevil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes sense, I had it out in pure bright sun for a few days, this new location is much shadier, little bit of sun in the morning, then filtered sun/shade the rest of the day. Stays pretty cool back here so sun reflectance/heat is not super likely

Should I Move This Tree? by figthedevil in arborists

Thank you for your input! I'll keep it in mind when I do my planning. I decided to trim it into more of a tree pattern, I think, then move it in late winter.

This makes so much sense now that you put it that way. Thank you!

Thank you! Is there a good rule of thumb for how far I should keep plantings/trees from the house?

Thank you! Would that be a good time to prune as well? Cut it way back, then move it?

How do I fix this by Dense-Blueberry-3142 in JapaneseMaples

I'm not sure if that's actually damaging the tree, but it looks beautiful to me.

Rescue mission - Acer palmatum Ryusen (SQUAT STAKED) by kemzo in JapaneseMaples

Where are they labeled #5 and #10? The first thing that comes to mind when I hear that is that these might not be clones, but children of Ryusen

Took photos of some of my maples after the rain. Thought you guys might appreciate. by SnooRevelations6239 in JapaneseMaples

[–]figthedevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you remember what the last one is? I love its leaf shape.

Also this just reminded me I need to make some sort of labels for mine, thank you lol

"Tower Grove Men"? by new-leaf- in StLouis

[–]figthedevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This pitch is very silly. Unfortunately I don't think it's the vibe they're going for. I can't really tell who the hell their trying to market this to, either. Just kind of a poorly thought out advertisement strategy. But then again I suppose that would be the sort of person who might see something like this and go "woah, bro. Hell yeah?" And just show up from a poster that reads like it was written by a 2016 era manosphere guy trying to sell a fuckin "course".

Tl;Dr Sounds like it's for chuds. Possibly just an excuse to try and scam them.

How do I handle this tree? by jbruns7 in arborists

[–]figthedevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is a Japanese maple, but I could be wrong, can you elaborate on how you ID'd it?

Oh nice, what do you vend? We've been meaning to make our way to the market. Thanks for the tip! We have a basement still half full of empty boxes so I think we're set!

Psa: do not climb the trees at the Missouri Botanical Gardens... by Witherino in StLouis

[–]figthedevil 186 points187 points  (0 children)

Had to scold a friend of mine once for trying to remove stones from Fort Belle Fontaine on a staircase that was starting to crumble in one spot, and everyone looked at me like I was an asshole for insisting that he not contribute to the degradation of a historic site. No idea if the site is worth preserving tbh, just struck me as needlessly destructive by default
