A Sneak Peak at the Grafting Facility at Buchholz Nursery | Japanese Maple Madness

Tim Nichols takes viewers behind the scenes at Buchholz Nursery in Gaston, Oregon, showcasing the extensive summer grafting efforts for Japanese maples. Over 50,000 grafts have been produced, emphasizing the intricate process that involves growing rootstocks for two years, grafting, and cultivating trees for another two years before they're market-ready. Tim highlights unique selections, including 'Phantom Flame,' 'Olive Random Hot Blonde,' and 'Black Lace,' alongside Talon Buchholz's iconic introductions like the Ghost series. The process includes precise grafting techniques, careful planning for future availability, and innovations like grafting semi-evergreen Acer laevigatum onto deciduous Acer palmatum rootstocks. Tim praises the Buchholz team’s efficiency and craftsmanship, which supports both Buchholz Nursery and MrMaple.com. He encourages enthusiasts to explore the full grafting video for a deeper dive into this fascinating art and science.
