Growing a japanese maple bonsai tree and need advice!
Comments (1)I'd get a water meter (probably around $10 at your hardware store) and make sure you're not overwatering. I have a Japanese maple in my front yard and its seedlings don't transplant well. Some plants don't like being moved....See MoreMaple tree disease
Comments (0)I have a young maple (autumn blaze) which appears to be suffering from some disease which causes the leafs to turn black, from the edges into the center, eventually drying right out and dropping. Is this tar spot? It looks a little more extreme than some examples I've seen online. Is my tree in trouble?...See MoreCalifornia Native plants and trees
Comments (21)Chloe, that's because you have the common sense to see the comment for what it was. An abbreviation. Bloomingbug,,Seriously? I was abbreviating the name of a tree, not poking fun at a group of people. Geez, people really need to stop being so sensitive and look at the context in which it was used. There was nothing offensive about writing Jap Maple. Is this better,, Jap. Map. ??? Did your neighbors actually look at my comment and get mad? Or did they have the common sense to realize it was an innocent abbreviation to an otherwise wordy comment?? C'mon, lighten the hell up and save the PC policing for where it's warranted....See MoreAutumn blaze pear tree or rhaphiolepis majestic beauty?
Comments (4)This question should really be posted on the Trees or California Gardening fora.........not here! Callery pears can be invasive and really should not be planted anywhere. They tend to be structurally unsound and prone to wind and weather damage and are not at all fruitless (they will hybridize with other pears and will accept pollination from other pear species), although the fruit is small, hard and inedible. Also, many describe the scent of the flowers as fishy or of sweaty socks - they do not smell good!! And fall color in a warm climate is unreliable. ALL trees will produce litter of some type. Even evergreens. No litter = a plastic or dead tree :-) The Indian hawthorn is prone to some disease issues and sheds its berries but they tend to be dry and hard. Another possibility is Arbutus unedo or A. 'Marina'. Have you visited the Calpoly SelecTree website? You can enter your requirements and it will spit out suitable choices for a SoCal garden.............See MoreDan _Staley (5b Sunset 2B AHS 7)
