Why grow from seeds when you have Mr Maple 🍁 doing all the hard work for us!!!!
Thank goodness we don’t have to rely on all our trees coming from seed! It would take soooo much time to grow the 40 Japanese maples I’ve bought from MrMaple since this June 😉❤️
I've already started collecting seeds. But I'm still gonna watch.
Would be interested on your thoughts about which kinds grow better/worse on their own roots?
Love this video guys, thanks. Be great to see more like this on how they develop, dappling selection, etc. Highlight pitfalls along the way. 👍
Been waiting for this one.
Thank you
Will give this a try! But do I have the patience? You guys are terrific 😊
Wow.... That's awesome ❗... We appreciate you guys and all of your hard work and most importantly the knowledge that you've developed over the years to encourage and pass on to your customers... TY😀
I love how detailed this episode was and of course so fun of good energy🔥. I’m thankful to get this knowledge to learn how to make hopefully some special cultivars some day and share with others. #japanesemaples❤️🍁🔥!
Can’t wait!! 🍁🍁🍁
So glad you guys did this video. I will always buy my JMs from you guys (41 and counting), but I am definitely looking forward to seeing what funky/beautiful seedlings I can find myself, just for fun.
Love it. Gonna see about seeds tomorrow. I saw big Bryan out there collecting maple seeds! I actually took a screen shout of you under the Mikawa Yatsubusa. It will be a great example of what decades of growth can be compared to lables at the nursery
Awesome! Thank you guys. Will you post some grafting videos?
This was very helpful thanks! I DO wish you had shown those of us who live in Zone 8 how to stratify in a refrigerator.
Can't wait got my red maple seeds last night soaking them now and then will be plating when I get home!
Thank you for the informative video. I think I’ll continue buying maples from Mrmaple
Thanks for the video. I tried growing several Japanese Maple trees from seed this spring after keeping them in the fridge for several months with soil. I have several of them growing in pots. One problem that I had was that I put one of them outdoors and it was messed up by some animal or bird. I have a few other plants that are growing in a mudroom next to a window, but I'm afraid to put them outdoors until they get much larger.
Love this video. Can you do a follow up when the seedlings need to be transplanted as this will be great. I usually have good success getting the seedlings to germinate but have trouble getting them through my hot dry summer. Will transfer them this year as it is late spring in my area.
Thanks for this awesome informative video on how to collect and grow from seed. I love how you teach us to be successful with everything so we gain knowledge and more confidence to take on things like this ourselves. Thank y’all for the wealth of knowledge that y’all share with the Maple community, I believe I can say it really means alot to all of us. 💯💯💯

I use a tall jar with water and spill them into it - the viable seeds sink. Sometimes a whole lot floats so they are useless. First principle: use viable seeds.
Our 30+ year old Japanese Maple produced so much seed this year, I'm in zone 6a. I just filled one of those gallon bags with fresh seed, if it wasn't for the on and off droughts this year I probably would have gotten 2 filled or more, since there are thousands left that are dry.
I don't plant my seeds, but I usually find a few seedlings under my trees. I dig them up and put them in a pot.
Im trying this right now you have any tips? Iv been keeping mine in the window where they just get a little morning sun. Do you keep yours outside or in the house?
@@nathandane1572 They come up in the spring so I just plant them in a small container outside and keep them in indirect sunlight until they get established.
@@nathandane1572 I've done the same (Buffalo, NY zone 6B) and I currently have 50 seedlings in a large tray of peet, perlite, and garden soil mixed. They've been in the tray for about 3 weeks and the majority have their first set of true leaves. Some say not to take them from the ground until they have their first set of true leaves (to allow better roots to develop) but I haven't had any problem. I keep a wire mesh over the top to keep birds and squirrels out, and I keep them in a shaded area outside that doesn't get harsh wind. (I'm near lake Erie). I watered them in really well, and now just water them when I see the soil on top has dried out. Some people leave them in the same tray all summer, and some will tell you to pot them in 4 inch pots when their second sets of leaves start showing. I do pot them up in their own pots, but it's a lot less convenient when you want to move them. I allow them to be in the sun in morning and late afternoon for maybe an hour or so a day.
@@lynnlamont3485 Wow, Lynn, how come it takes me 500 words to say what you said in 25? I need to learn to be brief!
Thanks for the info! Very helpfull #japanesemaples
Pretty cool guys! I had no idea about the 2 year stratification deal for some. I probably have over a thousand seedlings and trees up to 9 years old. My intent has been Bonsai but I think some would make very nice garden trees. Older trees are from a mother Filagree Maple. Other polinators might be Norway Maple and Acer Macrophyllum (I'm a Pacific Northwest guy). There is tremendous variability in vigor. About 10% or less have Filagree tendencies. I'll have to look at more of your videos and learn more things.
You guys are pretty cool
Thank you!
What is the music at 9:00 ?? It sounds amazing 👏🏽
Do you guys have experience with Acer Pseudowilsonii from seed? Do i need to stratify them? 😅
Sorry I don’t have any experience with that species
I would like to germinate Norway Maple (Acer platanoides) seeds next year because I ❤️ Norway Maple trees, they look very pretty. I will do this experiment that is stratification and without stratification. I will check which method is the best for germinating Norway Maple seeds. These seeds do not require scarification because the seeds are not hard, it is very soft. This year, I will collect Norway Maple seeds in fall season and then when I go home, I will store them in the fridge before germination. I would like to keep the seeds cool and dry once I store them in the fridge before germination.
For all Maple tree seed species colors, ripe Maple tree seed colors are mostly Brown. Nothing else.
Thanks guys. Where are you located? I'm new to your channel
We are in East Flat Rock, NC
How much of the Captan Fungacide did you add to the bag of seeds before you started to shake them. I believe this was the step you did right before you placed the seeds in the soil trays. Thanks for the top notch information and the contagious enthusiasm. Makes me want to get at it.
About 2 tables spoons. Thanks for watching!
What are your ideas of planting acer palmatem root stock in july? for zone 8 am I to late and can I keep them stratified in the fridge tell next spring please let me know your thoughts I'm in portland oregon
That works if they have been cold stratified
I've been getting more into cloning and grafting, and always wondered why Japanese maples were done that way? I totally get keeping that exact genetic from the mother plant but why don't people start f2 seeds more?? Who cares if it's not exactly what you expect. They're all beautiful in there own right. Any way y'all do a great job explaining all this stuff in great detail. Helps tree nerds like myself learn as much as we can. Thanks 🙏
Thanks! Yeah F2 is where it’s at!
I have run across a lot of Japanese maple trees here in zone 8a that never put on seed. What would be the reason for this? I'm in southeastern NC. I used to see you guys every year at the Mother Earth News show near Ashville.
Weather in spring is the largest factor
I didnt know mikawas can get that big. Any idea how old this tree is?
Closer to 35 years
Hello Guys, congratulation on the video. Let me ask you a question. Did the below zero temperature counts to break the seeds dormenci ?
Chill tim is a big factor but it doesn’t have to be below zero
@@MrMapleShow Thanks for answer me. I'm new on the japanese maple (JM) world.
As a genetic plant breeder student I understand the concept of variability, but I didn't expected that JM had so much genetic variability. I'm from Brazil and I managed to get some JM seeds from Austria, seeds from 4 different kind. Sango Kaku, BloodGood, Osakazuki and FernLeaf Maple. I was surprised when the seeds from the Sango Kaku variety start to germinate inside the refrigerator.
The seeds from other varieties don't germinate in the refrigerator, so I move them to a colder place (35°F-41°F), let them there for 3 months and 10 days.
One seed from the Osakazuki variety started to germinate in that condition, after that I toke all the seeds out of the cold, I hope they start to germinate.
The seeds look healthy, but I afraid that 3 months are not enough.
I love to grow japanese maple from seeds. I'm using the same method. I don't know how to select them after. Seedlings are so different, why selecting this one and not the other? Could be great to show the process of selection
Unless you plan to sell them, you can pretty much base your choices on what looks interesting to you. A really pretty leaf shape, or maybe a color you don't already have. Changes may still occur, but by about the 4th set of true leaves, I have a good idea of which look the most interesting (and of course healthy) to me. Not trying to answer for the pro's, just sharing an idea.
Guys I've asked this before in a different way but why would my 2 butterfly acer palmatum be 100% frost and freeze proof in the spring? All the others damage or die but these 2 have never once frost bit in the 10 plus years ive had them and I'm not exaggerating!! I'd say they would have made it thru the Easter of 07 apocalypse. I'd love to hear from you cuz I'm completely confused at these 2 unicorns?????
If I find any cool Acer macrophylla seedlings I'll let you know
You have a segment in this video, called "when to collect seeds", but I couldn't understand when you can actually collect seeds. When did you collect these seeds in the video? Thx.
Fall typically now through thanksgiving
Most say when the samara wing dries brown, the seed is mature.
What type of soil is required for cold stratifying Maple tree seeds in the refrigerator? What type of soil is required for seed stratification in the refrigerator? What type of soil? What type? Please tell me which type of soil is required for Maple tree seed stratification in the refrigerator. Please tell me.
Wow great info. Do you know if you guys, or any one sells a green Acer Palmatum subsp. Palmatum tree or seeds? #japanesemaples
I don’t currently

Can I naturally stratify my japanese maple seeds here in zone 7b Spartanburg SC?
We do here in East Flat Rock but we do get colder. You would be right in the edge I think
Hi Tim, Hi Matt... Here in zone 6B, we collect seeds on Halloween, October 31st. It's an easy date to remember. I've been successful with growing from seed, and growing from seedlings found under my mature JM's. From spring until Oct/Nov, they grow beautifully... sturdy stems, healthy, supple leaves, and typically 4 sets of true leaves. No applause, please, this doesn't end well, haha! I've been growing JM's from seeds and seedlings for 4 years straight now, and I have never, EVER, had a single JM survive through winter. I've probably lost more than 200 healthy little trees, yet I'm still at it! I have 50 seedlings growing right now, new this spring, and my plan is to ask my local garden center to rent me 2 sq ft to over winter them. $200 bucks if my seedlings are alive in spring! If that doesn't work out, I may need to make a road trip from Buffalo, NY to North Carolina to drop them on the porch of the Nichols brothers! I'll be back in spring to pick them up, haha! Any helpful hints for overwintering would be so appreciated! I feel like I've tried everything! Thanks for all you do! I just purchased two trees from you in the last couple of weeks, and they are spectacular! I couldn't be happier! Thank you again!
Hey thanks. Winter can be tricky on new seedling for sure especially in your area without a greenhouse. Maples need some protection in zone 5 but sheds and basements can be tricky for young tender plants. I would make sure to protect if left outside.
What's the trick for stratification of Acer Griseum? I know they're difficult and I've tried without success. Thanks
It’s not really an issue with stratification it’s an issue with fertility. Only a very small Percentage are viable
A commercial grower friend would just add another heavy layer of seed each year to the same bed, hoping some more would sprout the second or third year. Other species trees would usually have the whole seed bed dug at once.

Hi is it the same for trident mapel
I sprout Tridents the same way. Experimented a couple years ago with dry seeds soaked overnight. About half sunk. 20 floating seeds sprouted one. 20 sinking seeds sprouted about 16. Soaking in warm water was not better than cold water. Dry seeds left outside in winter sprouted about 10, since about half would have been 'floaters".

What colors are ripe Maple tree seeds? What colors are ripe seeds? What colors are they?
Red, pink and orange
Hi have you any Amagi Shigure seeds for sale ?
Sorry no seeds for sale
Hello, I would like to know if there are Japanese maple seeds for sale.
No we don’t offer seeds
When is it the best time to collect (harvest) Maple tree seeds? When is it the best time to collect it? When is it the best time?
Fall typical late October-November
I would like to tell you something. Please try to germinate different types of Maple tree seeds 🍁 that is Sugar Maple, Silver Maple, Red Maple, Norway Maple, Sycamore Maple, and Amur Maple seeds. You should post these videos of how to germinate different types of Maple tree seeds. Please post new videos of how to germinate different types of Maple tree seeds. I would be very happy about that.
Good to know!
Most maples should be similar. Paperbark maple, Acer griseum can take several years to stratify and germinate. Lifting out seedlings and keeping the tray watered another year has worked well for other things too, like linden (Tilia).
Do Japanese Maple (Acer Palmatum) seeds require Scarification in order to germinate? Do they require Scarification? Or no? Do they need to be scarified (nicked) before germination? Do they need to be scarified? Or no?
Typically works best to. We are lucky that they naturally get cold enough here
They don’t have to be but I’ve heard it helps
Do you guys sell seeds?
We do not
Where can I store Maple tree seeds before germinating them? Where can I store it at? What temperature is best for storing seeds for making them become more viable and live longer? Which temperature is best for storing seeds before germination? All of my maple seeds have rotted and died from very hot temperatures in the room. Since I have stored seeds in hot temperatures, they did not germinate at all. Please reveal the answer of where to store Maple tree seeds before germination. Please reveal it.
Cool dry temps work best. Many people use a fridge above freezing but chilled
@@MrMapleShow Thank you so much for this answer! 😃
I paid 67.00 for one at Lowes a month ago, doing good cost so much.
If it was a seedling that seems high. That’s typically what names ones are grafted to
you 2 are bros??? 🤣
we are brothers
Dragging it out…..
Being very thorough and giving away free information…
How do you pick the grafting trunk and what tree is the trunk.
Acer palmatum ssb palmatum
