[Music] Howdy y’all and welcome to the Maple Mafia channel. Today we’re going to talk about the trees that are going off our eBay. They’re selling on our eBay going off today. That’s going to be May 18th of 2025. It starts they start going off at 6:00 p.m. all the way until 910 p.m. So that’s 10 after 900 p.m. Eastern Standard Time this evening, which is 20 different trees. Y’all, it’s been fun. It’s been a great way for us to be able to just offer some unique, interesting varieties, things we might be one-offs around the nursery, some rare things we may not listed yet through our Mr. Maple uh website. This is your chance to jump in and find some cool plants. And you can find those by going to mraple.com/ebay, which takes you to our seller store uh for the Maple Mafia. You can see all 20 items that are currently listed on our on uh our eBay channel. Y’all, let’s jump into some of these cool plants. The first one that’s going off this evening, uh that’s going to be Michael Steinhart. Now, Michael Steinhart is an Acer Bjgerian. This is a yellow uh trident maple that is beautiful. It’s super heat tolerant. It’s got great orange to red fall color. It’s vigorous. So, this selection by Don Shadow, named after one of his friends at the time, and it it’s really one of the best bright yellow trident that’s out there. Um, you know, there you may have seen some that are very similar out there. It’s called ATA yellow. That means all things Acer. That was a dawn shadow. This is that was a sister seedling to this. They’re very similar, almost identical. And Michael Steinhart, super vigorous, super beautiful, and easy to grow. I mean, give it some sunlight and you get that picked up yellow color out there in the landscape. This tree could handle full sun in Middle Tennessee. Super impressive on its heat tolerance and that fall color has just been awesome for me as well. Next up, we’ve got Milstone spring orange, which is a spring interest tree by Milstone Nursery uh down in Alabama. It’s super heat tolerant. It gives you some nice orange colors. It’s one of the first times we’ve uh made this tree available, I think maybe one or two other times here on our eBay store, but I don’t think it’s ever been listed on Mr. Maple, y’all. New introduction. There’s your chance to grab it. Next up, we’ve got Emerald Sunset. Now, Emerald Sunset is extremely heat tolerant. It’s got a thick purple border to it. It’s a selection by our friends at Nishki Nursery in Australia. And it’s super heat tolerant. It’s very durable and it may be one of the very It’s one of the very best in that sumagaki type for holding that purple border long throughout the season. You get some really nice yellow green eye to it with that thick purple border. It’s very dynamic out there in the garden. We’re talking 6 8 foot in 10 years. Good red fall color. Uh a beast out there in the garden. Super beautiful. That purple border is just awesome. Y’all, next up we’ve got Mila. Mila selection by Dick Vandermat. It’s one of the most colorful trees. It gets some really nice oranges, some sort of reds in there as well. Some lime greens in there. It’s mixed in. We’ve got a full cult of our highlight on our Mr. Maple Show on YouTube. If you’re not subscribed over there, you should definitely check that out. We put out daily content all about Japanese maples and one of the things we do are cultivar breakdowns, cultivar spotlights and we’ve done one on ma and you get to see the colors this thing can actually it’s almost unescribable the colors it has. I mean it’s just metallicy red maroon with orange lime green. I mean it’s got a lot of great colors in there that are just very beautiful and it continues to put on amazing colors all throughout the seasons. It’s vigorous. is upright. We’re talking 8 to 10 foot in 10 years. Fairly heat tolerant. In midsummer, it’s one of the more colorful uh trees in our nursery when you’re walking through the green houses. Um super popular. Every time we list it, sells out quickly. Now’s your chance to grab a onegon ma here on our eBay. Next up, we’ve got another introduction by Dick Vandermat. Um we got Acer Suboldian Inglestat. Now, Inglestat is a Acer saboldian, but the leaves are very matsamurried like so they it’s a red matri that is an Acer saboldian pretty unique and different for what you think of as Acer saboldian. You know, there’s some cool acer saboldianms out there. There’s ones that have some variegation. We started to find more diversity in soldi because they’re hybridizing and that’s clearly what this is. It’s a hybrid with a red Matsuma Murray and it’s a Sabbold. So, pretty cool. One of the few times this one’s been listed. Next up, we’ve got Cynthia’s Crown Jewel. Now, this is a dense, compact uh green Japanese maple that is really beautiful, super slow growing. I think something akin to something like a sharps pygmy. Um, we’re talking four to five feet in height by four to five foot in width in 10 years. Some good red fall color. known for its heat tolerance. Make sure you give it plenty of good drainage. But send this crown jewel is a rock star out there in the garden. Great for containers, great for bonesai. Make sure uh like in the ground, you also give in a container good drainage. But the next thing that’s up, the strawberry spring fireball double graft. That is super cool. That was actually an accident that we found here at the nursery. And we said, you know, this is what the Japanese call a danugi where it has two different trees grafted on the same tree. And how it accidentally occurred is, you know, we’d grafted at our buckolds farm some fireballs. Now, the fireball had actually uh the grafted failed, we thought, and they grafted a strawberry spring to it. Well, turns out the fireball didn’t fail at all. started growing after the fact and we just left it there because we thought it was really cool. And so it’s the one of the first times we’ve seen a danugi with a fireball and a strawberry spring, which I thought was kind of unique and different because you get that strawberry spring reticulated Japanese maple that grows upright and then you’ve got this ball that’s going to occupy that lower part of the tree. And it’s a very unique way that I’ve seen a danugi work. Often densis the green will often overtake the red often when people are putting the one that’s more vigorous. But when you have a dwarf and you have an upright tree they occupy different spaces and so the trees themselves are allowed to grow individually which is pretty cool awesome. Uh y’all check this out thing out if you hadn’t seen it yet. Go check out the photos. Uh pretty cool. One of the first times ever. I mean, this is a new introduction of Strawberry Spring, a slightly newer introduction on Fireball, and then you add the two together. You got a red dwarf down below, and then you’ve got a reticulated Japanese maple above. Something next level and pretty cool. Uh, makes me think I need to do a few more of these. Uh, and offer them here on the eBay channel because it’s pretty cool. So, if you like this as an idea, comment down below because I I it I’m I’m debating on whether I need to be doing, you know, a couple hundred of these a year or not. Um, but make sure that you let me know down below. I’d really appreciate it. And guys, people were jumping on this. I saw people posting about it in the Mr. Maple Friends group on Facebook. Uh, that’s a great community of people we’ve got there. That’s where a lot of the Maple Mafia share photos of their garden. But people were already posting about this and saying, “Have you seen this? This is a double graft of Strawberry Spring and Fireball. Something pretty cool. Now, next up, we’ve got Father Selena Ca uh Father Selenus Casey. This is a witch’s broo of blessing that was found by Bob McCafferty, and it’s got this really nice kind of brick red kind of color, and it gets some green hues to it that come into it throughout the summer. Uh it is a 56 foot in height. uh you know, stays fairly compact, dense, newer witches broom. I think we may have only listed before once or twice on Mr. Maple. And here’s a chance to get this unique witches broom here on the Maple Mafia eBay channel. Again, if you’re trying to find this, you can go to mmaple.com eBay, and that’ll take you to the sellers page for the Maple Mafia eBay store. Uh y’all, we we’re trying to bring you some cool plants and trees that you want. found a onegon Indian summer around the nursery. So, I thought I’d throw this on here. Indian summer is a japonicum selection that goes yellows, oranges, and reds, but not necessarily on the same leaf across the same tree. And so, you get a tree that’s green to yellow to orange to red in different spots, which is very unique. I haven’t I don’t know what causes this type of fall color, but Indian summer is special in that regards. It’s changes fall color unlike any Japanese maple I’ve ever seen. And it’s a very popular tree because of that. Uh you all have got a chance to get a onegon here on the eBay store on mr maple.com for uh eBay which takes you to the maple mafia store on eBay. Guys, next up we’ve got Jragon. Now Jragon was introduction is very one of the very first introductions uh by our family. It was when our nursery was actually called Nicholls Nursery and a collector in town had brought my dad cutings of jade dragon. It was a tree that uh Robert Jackman had found and it just had this really tight dense form. It was found off of a shishi gashira and so unique and different the fact that this thing just has that tight dense compact habit. Super slow growing. Um, you know, we’ve been grafting this tree now. The original jade dragon is at my parents gardens and it’s every bit of 25 years old, maybe 30 years old. It’s about 4t tall and is about 5 foot wide at the top of it. I mean, it stays dense, compact forest, and it’s just a cool tree. Super super dense habit. Uh, next up, we’ve got hot chicken. Now, this is an Acer olive rain at Mr. maple and hot chicken is a cesalopolium and it’s a seedling of an olive random that we collected at World Maple Park in Japan. Um, and then we started grafting it because it’s got just this unique shade of like salmon pink on it in the early spring and it’s got a cesopolium leaf structure, an angel feather leaf structure, something to the kin of Benny Hagar Romo. This thing is vigorous. It’s beautiful. It’s heat tolerant. Um, and there’s a really good size threegon that was one of our stock plants here at Mr. maple. Uh it’s, you know, probably very similar size to the original uh Acer Oliveum hot chicken. So, chance to get a really nice size Acer Oliverum hot chicken uh here on eBay. Next up, we’ve got Acer palatum hubs dwarf. Now, hubs dwarf is a really nice dense slow growing selection in that macawi family. It has a leaf uh structure that is a little more curled, but that tight dense habit that everybody loves. And I do recommend giving Hub’s dwarf morning sun afternoon shade for best growth rate. But I mean, this is going to be a slow grower. It was found by the Hup family, Barbara Hup, and she uh got it into the nursery trade. Uh and you know, at the time they were growing a lot of Christmas trees and some different things. And it’s cool that uh one of uh their family now is Jason Hup who specializes in ornamental trees. So super cool there. Hub’s dwarf though is just this really awesome small Japanese maple for the garden. Great for containers, great for bonesai. That slightly larger leaf with that twisting gives it a unique texture for that macawa family style. I think it’d be really cool to start digging down through the genetics though a hubs dwarf though because I think there’s a lot more that could expand what we think about that Makawa Yatabusa family. Next up we’ve got an XL1Gon of orange fan Acer Japonicum selection by Talon Buck Holtz in the early spring. It blushes with orange. And I use that term blush because uh Ed Shin NJ Acer developed blushing beauty and he determined he started calling it blushing the way it just has that beautiful his has a red color in the early spring. This is similar to it but it has more orange and so this has that orange blushing to it in the early spring. Orange fan named and introduced by Talon Buckzoltz of Buck Holtz and Buck Holtz Nursery. Uh such an such a cool japonicum. I love those big leaf jaronicums and especially the ones that give you something a little bit extra because you know most of the aconicums you get mostly just green leaves. With this one at least you get some really nice orange blushes and with all japonicums you get amazing fall color and this one is no exception. You get some really nice shades of oranges and reds in the fall on orange fan. Next up we’ve got another one that’s kind of unique uh this week. uh one that is different than what you’ve seen. And what we’re listing this week is a red filigree lace that’s actually high grafted onto a pine bark seedling. Uh this is actually another uh it’s a red filigree lace is known for having that sort of really thin leaf and that red lace leaf that just holds its color so well. It’s one of the slower growing red lace leaves. Well, one thing that we often do with uh Japanese maples like this is we graft them up higher. Uh as a high graft, you can actually graft that up, start it up at a higher point. It’s going to be super slow growing, but it’s going to fill out nicely and make a beautiful tree on a high graft. Well, doing that on a pine bark is really unique because you have that 20 in almost on it of rootstock that is now pine bark. So you’ve got that as it ages that becomes thicker and thicker like nishki gawa arkawa and you get a unique pine bark on the rootstock itself. So that high graft itself becomes ornamental and on top of that you get the red filigree lace. So that’s a win-win and that’s a really cool uh unique addition here to our eBay uh store this week. I think that one’s going to I think whoever walks away with that’s going to get a winner. That’s really cool and a custom tree that you’re going to find that nobody else has. Next up, we’ve got Macawa Cayenne going off. Now, Macawa Cayenne translates as gold Macawa. This is a bronze type Macawa by the same guy who brought us Mystic Macawa. It is uh slow growing and we’re talking 3 to four feet in height, 3 to four foot in width in 10 years. Uh the Macawa family collection, people love them right now. And one of them, one of the reasons they love them is because we love them here at Mr. maple and we’re working hard to make many of these trees available in many different ways. And the next one, red panda, is kind of proof of that. Um, we’ve dropped it many times and we’re continue to try to offer as much as we can here through our eBay store. Red panda is the best red macawa. We’ve went through 20 30,000 uh seedlings of uh red macawi at the busas and this one holds its color the best when compared against all the other seedlings we’ve grown. Uh, it’s a tree that we patented here at Mr. Maple and it can be only bought through mraple.com and here on our eBay store. Y’all, red panda tightly laying habit, everything people love about Macawi Atabusa. But you also get that great red color in the spring and it holds it longer than any of the other types. Um, one thing I will note is, you know, environmental factors can play into the colors on any of the Macawiasa styles. So, you may have perfect red color one season and then the next season you may not get the exact same color. Uh, and you’ll notice this with your Japanese princesses. You’ll notice this with many of your other colored Macawa types as well. Next up, we’ve gotama. Now,ama is a dwarf compact witch’s broom, kind of in that brick red color, but it has a aminum like leaf. And that means it’s got a fatter leaf to it on that witch’s broom. So it’s not going to have your typical leaf that you think of like with a Shaina. It’s a little bit more rounded and bubbly in its appearance. Super slow growing 3 feet by 3 feet in 10 years. Totally underrated. It’s a classic selection from Japan and to me it’s still one that is very awesome. Again, with these dwarf Japanese maples, drainage is key. Um, I think people who grow these in containers may often overwater them and water them as much as say, you know, another tree you’d have in a container. It’s going to need less water because it’s growing at a slower rate. So, always keep that in mind with many of your dwarfs. Next up, we’ve got Acer Shirrom magic moon. Now, this is XL1 gallon magic moon is a selection bus here at Mr. Maple. That’s an Acer Shirrom. It’s a full moon maple, but it has a unique maltting like variegation. It’s yellow on the inside of that green leaf. Uh something magical about this full moon maple. Matt and I fell in love with it. It is very unique because the leaf can contort and twist and you get that yellow in the leaf. Uh the only thing I’ve seen similar to it is something like purple curl. Um but this is on a red uh this is on a green Shiraasum. I mean next level and super cool. Next up, we’ve got Acopalum kryptonite. And kryptonite is a sport that was found on the side of Makawi atusa that has variegation as it matures uh and as it matures throughout the season almost like a manionato but on a Macabusa. So you get that lime green on green with that elongated leaf. Super really cool. Um, to me it’s one of my favorite of the variegated Macawi atabusa types and it’s one that we got to put that name on of kryptonite here at Mr. Maple. It was found by one of our good friends, Keith Johansson. And to me, it is super cool and very awesome. Next up, we’ve got Mystic Macawa. It’s the last thing going off at 9:10 uh p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Mystic Macawa. It’s one of the first orange variations on Macawabusa. Slow growing 3 to four feet in height by 3 to four foot in width in 10 years. It’s something that’s uh one of those trees that just gives you extra color on that makawusa variation. And it’s an orange. It’s something that’s really showy. It just gives you that just bright appeal in the garden. similar to that of my shirt. And in the early springtime when this thing’s on its orange color, it is just dynamic, especially in that Macawi garden. And we have a lot of people who are trying that Macawi Atabusa family garden now because we’ve got all these different Macyas uh and family uh seedlings from and these things that we’ve been able to offer through our eBay store here on Mr. Maple and Mr. Maple.com.
