I’ve failed to keep seedlings alive that I’ve dug up for about three years in a row. Found your channel and this year they aren’t dead and are growing. Want to give you a big thanks!!!

[@JonnyMaple]

Awesome! I am so happy to hear that you are having success.

[@Juan_Mattos]

I remember some time back you were testing with a small batch of seedlings sold amongst your followers; are you still offering them to the public?
I’m truly happy to see how far you have come with your setup, last time I came across your videos, you were in the process of renovating the space, congratulations!!!!

I sow 6 different japanese maple seeds bought online from 3 different markets/sellers just to be somewhat sure that I got some viable seeds and they were planted exact same way. Only the Acer Palmatum summer gold popped up over a month ago but seeing that you also have some that havnt come up I have some hope that maybe they will come up haha. they were planted in october.

Do you have a video link about planting up maple cuttings please and thank you.. also what can I do to the cuttings in the winter after I repot them ..I don’t have a green house and the cuttings will be Glinda and tender ..do I just leave them out in the open

[@JonnyMaple]

This year I plan on leaving my cuttings in my Zone 8 garden outside all fall/winter and not pot them up out of the propagation tray until the following spring. Disturbing the tender roots in the fall has led to quite a few not making it.

[@briard8874]

Dude… how many seedlings are you potting up this year? Looks like hundreds!

[@JonnyMaple]

From one tray I potted up somewhere around 600 trees! I am going to have many thousands...

[@briard8874]

Wild-that sounds like enough to become a supplier for some nurseries. Should be a satisfying couple of years!

Jonny where can I buy maple seeds ? Thanks

[@JonnyMaple]

I recommend picking them yourself this fall from any local trees in your area that you have permission to pick from. The seeds you buy will be years old and will have much lower germination rates.

[@jiboou]

@@JonnyMaple thanks for the information. And do you sell small trees? Do you have an online shop? Thanks

[@dougmate2378]

Where can you buy seeds? I'd like to grow them from seed as a project.

[@JonnyMaple]

I would recommend picking some fresh seed this fall. Find a tree in your area and get permission to pick the seed in October or November. The seed you buy will be old, and dry and have a much lower germination rate.

[@dougmate2378]

@JonnyMaple thank you for the insight sir. I appreciate it. 🤙🍻

[@bennyhana3556]

Maybe add some sand to the soil.
