When two members of the Maple Society of North America get together, you're bound to learn something new.


No Space Left to Plant? No Problem...


This video of member Dan Everts demonstrating Japanese Maple root pruning is a thorough overview of how, when, and why to root-prune your potted maples. Says Dan, "hopefully this will allow our members to better care for their maples in containers... and might even allow them to add some more maples to their collection without the guilt of "no place in the yard to put them."


Dan, we love how you think. :-)
