| Strange question, but I've had this A. palmatum dissectum 'Waterfall' for years (8?), and it's made seeds for years, but this spring I've found at least 8 little seedlings. The only thing I can see being different is that we had almost continual snow cover this winter for the first time.
The differences in each are interesting, even with only 2 true leaves. What are the pros and cons to letting them grow on? |

| Japanese maple germination can be very slow and irratic. It can take 1-5 years for the seeds to germinate. I think it's fun to collect the seedlings and see what you get. The true leaves will show up next year. There is no harm in letting them grow a year. If you like them you can transplant them to another location in you garden or a pot next year. I have a lot of beautiful seedlings. |
