| Hi, how long does it take for a maple to grow from seed to a small tree? I noticed Thompson and Morgan has hybrid maple seeds and thought it would be cool the grow some.
The instruction says to grow for 1-3 years and there plant in the final place. I wonder how big it/they will be in 3 years. PS: I thought I posted a new post already, but it didn't appear. Sorry if two appears later.... |

| It will take at least three years for it to get to 1-3 ft tall. Mostly depending on what variety it is. |

| Named forms are propagated by grafted cuttings. A seedling grown JM will not (or more properly, should not) carry any specific cultivar name nor are the vast majority hybrids of any form. They will simply be a seedling JM without any cultivar designation. Still, a fun and rewarding process to grow one from seed and always a surprise to see how it might develop. |

| I have ones I started in 2007 that will have full one-gallon root-systems come next spring. Talk about rewarding! These are as gorgeous as any grafted maple. My seeds came from an old collection of mainly cultivated/grafted trees. Dax |
