    Fall Color 2019

    in RMBS Forum

    Hey everyone! I thought this would be a great place for us to share photo's of our deciduous trees as they change color this year.


    Here's my Amur Maple (Acer ginala) to kick things off. I've been working this tree since spring of 2015.

    I ordered my bare root seedlings from Cold Stream Farms in MI. The ones I ordered didn't make it, but bare root material is super cheap so no loss. For hornbeams in particular I think bare root is a bad idea in our climate. I will let you know if I find another source.

    If you have a source for seedlings that is worthwhile, I would also be interested.

    That is an incredible hornbeam! I have planted bare root American hornbeams with no success. Have you learned anything specific about repotting or root work with this species?

    Hi Paul,

    I'm sorry I must have missed your comment!

    Nothing really specific. I've re-potted this tree twice, but never bare root. I've always done it just as the buds are swelling and beginning to turn green.


    I wonder, was your seedling source reputable? I've ordered Korean maple seedlings from a couple of places. One was awesome and the other sent a bunch of half dead trees that turned out to be some other type of maple entirely.


    I'd definitely love to try American hornbeam too. (Ps.. I've noticed a guy selling several collected American hornbeams on the facebook auction sites this spring.)
