_________________________________GENUS - Acer
Species - palmatum, japonicum & sieboldianum.
Japanese Maples (as well as many of the other smaller flowering trees) can make attractive plantings when grown in large terra cotta pots by the door, on the deck or along the path. They like some protection from extreme midday sun particularly when young.
We start all of our trees in small pots or small outdoor nursery beds and grow them on for a year before transplanting. Japanese Maples will grow well in zone 5 which is our own zone as long as they are not in an exposed position. Warmer zones 6, 7 and 8 are also appropriate. They can also be grown in colder zones (3 and 4) in largish pots and allowed to go dormant prior to storing in unheated winter shed or garage over winter.
The seeds of cultivars (cv.) will not reproduce exact replicas, however the variable progeny is often superior plant material. We typically find seedlings exhibiting some of the characteristics found in the parent while others can & will revert to the species (sp.) form. The amount of variation among the progeny of cultivars is unpredictable but usually interesting, beautiful and occasionally unique.
Except where noted all Regular size packages of our Japanese Maples contain 15-20 or more of our selected seeds.
