I rescue maple seedlings from the gravel shoreline of the Mississippi river near my home. They sprout every year only to be washed away during storms, so I grabbed several dozen. I have 41 potted up and healthy right now.

I saw the other video Peter made on collecting and sowing Acer seeds. I was out on my bike near Bournemouth last autumn and cycled under a stunning Acer. Sure enough it was covered in little "helicopters" as we used to call them as a child. They were brown and fully ripe and I put a handful in my pocket. I plopped them onto some compost and put them in a sheltered place away from squirrels for the winter and early this spring I had 8 little seedlings with the most beautiful leaves. I was over the moon. They are happily growing away in little pots now. Future bonsai for free! Thank you Peter.

Wow okay so here's a crazy story, I started making bonsai a while ago and I found Peter to be the best creator on KZbin, he's great! Anyways, a few weeks back I was wondering about wisteria trees and making bonsai with them, boom that day Peter makes a video about it. I was in a garden store a few days ago and was talking to the worker about maples and looking at the maples outback for seedlings etc, now here we are! But wait, its gets weirder ... A couple weeks ago my dad found a bonsai book at a opshop and got it for me knowing I already had a few and sure enough the author of that book, you guessed it, it was Peter! Haha I guess the storys not that crazy but if you've read this far i hope you enjoyed :) Keep up the beautiful work Peter! Stay safe out there guys!

Many years ago, I dreamed that I and my mother walked around a big park picking up weeds. We estimated that the job would be done quite quickly but as we walked around we noticed more and more weeds. We worked all day and when the sun had gone down and me and mom had argued over the weeds we finally sat down on a bench to give up. We paused our argument. We looked down at the ground, exhausted. I saw my feet and noticed l was barefoot. Then I saw that roots were stuck in my foot. I grabbed them but they were stuck to my feet. I said “mom, look!” We both laughed relieved as we let the fact sink in, weeds grew out of my feet and I had inadvertently been spreading weeds all over the park.

Thank you for showing how to take them and start in pots... it helps so much to see you walk us through these stages, and enjoying all nature has to offer. If you ever had the time, would love a video on your dry garden. We treasured our trips to the various ones we saw while living in Japan. We will be starting one at our home in Tennessee within the next year, and would appreciate any thoughts and technique you have found useful in your garden.

Hi Peter, I purchased a few different varieties of maple seeds from you last year fresh from Autumn harvest - Nomura, Ao Shidare, small leaf and Campbellii. All had good germination rates, especially the small leaf (I must have about 200 in one seed tray!) and Ao Shidare. All the Nomura seedlings have seemed to grow well and push their first set of leaves and since about June no more growth has happened. They have all started to drop their first pair of 'true' leaves, one or two have even re-sprouted this first set as if they have defoliated themselves. The Campbellii have also started now dropping leaves although they pushed a second pair of leaves. I cannot work out why it is happening to the Nomura (every single one!) All the seeds have been planted and cared for in the same way in the same location. The Ao Shidare are flying along and have produced a myriad of amazing colours! I will be most likely buying some more seeds in a few months... did your Koto No Ito flower-seed this year? Thank you if you have time to reply. Chris

Hello Peter, i have germinated 100's of maple seedlings this year. They are all still in small seed trays, but are ver over crowded. I was going to start putting them into 9cm pots this weekend. Is this a good time of year to this? I'm very worried about killing them. I was going to use just basic seedling soil mixed 50/50 with ericaceous soil and a bit of grit, does that mix sound okay? Any other advice you might have would be helpful, would you feed them etc? Thanks, Joe.

We are now in mid August and you can still transplant these seedlings. Ordinary compost is fine for this - no need for grit for seedlings. Give a gentle liquid feed and they will race away

Finally I can buy maple seeds from OL market. But in planting guide it is suggested to put the seeds in humid coco peat n put them into refrigerator to reach temperature 1-5 degree celcius for 40days to germinate the seeds. They mention it as cold stratification. Is it normal practice Sir? I live in the tropics with warm climate arround the years
@petepelkey9326
@petepelkey9326 4 жыл бұрын
It is a normal practice to put them into cold stratification usually after putting them in hot water and letting them sit for 24 hrs. In cold climates they can be put under a bench for the wimter

Yes. Trees that grow in climates with cold winters normally need cold stratification. They may germinate but I don’t think maples can survive in the tropics. You should try to bonsai trees that grow in your climate.

I have found a tremendous amount of excellent information on Bonsai for your videos. Thank you for providing a wonderful opportunity for me to discover a life long rewarding endeavor. I did pot up 2 Maple seedlings, a new seedling and a 2 year seedling I pulled from the sparse wooded area behind my house. However, upon potting and watering, this evening I notice the leaves are beginning to turn upward on the edges. Is this condition terminal or maybe a transition period? Thank you for all the great information.

Hi Peter. I’ve made my first bonsai and it’s in a training pot. But I was wondering if it’s ok to put moss on the top of the dirt or is the moss only used when using bonsai soil?

It's funny how many tree seedlings can be found in a garden. I pot them up and I have no clue that they are until they have grown bigger. I don't have so much luck planting seeds and getting them to germinate. However I can put grass seed on the lawn to no effect and find it growing beautifully in my bonsai pots. I think it must be birds to blame. Anyway thanks for another interesting video.

I'm surprised how short the two-year-old seedlings still are. Is that a function of growing in cracks, or is that normal? How long before it looks more like a tree than a weed?

They aren't two years old. It's their second year, having gone through the previous winter, or at least that's what I assume he means in the video. Growing plants, we often think of things in terms of growing seasons.

If some of the roots get broken when pulling the saplings out of the ground, will that kill the sapling? Also if the leaves wilt and die will the sapling still grow? Thanks!

Well, you won't need to repot them for a while! They will grow faster in the bigger pot for sure. Most people use smaller pots because of space restrictions, but if you have the room, go for it.
