In this video I discuss why the Japanese Maple trees that you buy are generally grafted trees and not just grown from seed.

Growing a few hundred seeds this year after watching your vids. I’m sprouting em in trays of vermiculite and picking em out as soon as they sprout. I’ve already got more than a hundred in little pots in my greenhouse with their first sets of true leaves. Can’t wait to see how they develop. Love your channel!

Inspiring video Jonny. I’ve got about a dozen maples I’ve collected as seedlings from under trees in my neighborhood over the last few years. Intending to scale up to a much larger collection this year and your videos have been helpful planning for that.

Awesome! I am glad my videos have been helpful.

Nice Video! You plan on doing a video about crafting Japanese maples? Would love to see how you do it.

@JonnyMaple 3 ай бұрын

I plan to this year. I have been practicing over the last several years working on my technique, and I think I am ready to demonstrate it now. I wanted to make sure I had good results before teaching it.

When grafting, what root stock are you using? Please advise. Btw I love the videos you put out. Thanks for sharing.

@JonnyMaple 2 ай бұрын

Seed grown Acer palmatum root stock. In the past these have been seedlings from what I assume to be a Bloodgood variety, but this year, I am specifically growing out Green Acer palmatum seeds from a larger tree that should grow quicker and thus allow me to have available root stock faster.

I misspelled the 'Alpenweiss" Japanese Maple variety in the video (Alpenweiss is correct not Alpinweiss).

I bought a crimson queen that was grafted, it is doing amazing but seems from the grafted spot another maple variety is growing. Can i leave it or should i cut it

thanks for sharing. when you showed the variation in your seedlings, were those 3.5 inch pots? would you mind sharing where you found those? they look taller than the ones I have and would be great to have

They are called "Band Pots" and they are made by Anderson. I am switching over to mainly using them for Japanese Maple trees until they get older.

Thank you so much for your clear and fascinating talks. As a beginner to the hobby of collecting and growing Japanese maples, this is all very helpful. I do have a question, why can you not call seedlings by the parent name, such as Bloodgood? Thank you.

@JonnyMaple 3 ай бұрын

You're welcome. You can't call seedlings a variety name, because they are not genetically identical and thus have different characteristics from the parent cultivar.

Awesome video. Question: Can I leave my one-year-old maple, grown from seed, outside for the winter? I garden in zone 7.

@JonnyMaple 3 ай бұрын

In a zone 7, in a pot, I would give it some winter protection. In the ground they are hardy down to zone 5, but in pots zone 7 is right on the edge as the roots are exposed to more cold.

Hi Jonny, what is the size of the square pot at time stamp 4:0, and where did you purchase it? Thanks

@JonnyMaple 2 ай бұрын

These are 6" tall Anderson Band Pots. These are available on Amazon here: amzn.to/44RczUB

Can i bury the potted seedling in the winter in zone 5 and dig it up in spring a few yrs in a row until it can be planted?

@JonnyMaple 2 ай бұрын

In a zone 5, you will very likely have some losses during the winter for unprotected young trees if you have a particularly cold winter - even in the ground.

@TheLavenderFarmer 3 ай бұрын

Do you think that the plants from seeds are more resistant than the ones that are grafted? I bought 3 grafted and all of them died, but the ones from seed are still alive! Thank you....good job!

@JonnyMaple 3 ай бұрын

Yes, I believe that to be generally true.
