Love your posts! It’s so nice to see somebody who cares to shoot a video about what they are trying to explain! If you have experienced both these situations before…ps I really enjoy Tall and very healthy…any ideas? Thought I would run this by you and see This darn tree is still growing straight and is at least over 12 in Growing under light and indoor warmth where they have been most of the Started a surge of growth I also have never seen before. Upon carefulĮxamination of the ones that died I noticed that their roots neverĭeveloped. OnlyĪround 10 survived and grew into sturdy one year plants. Have done and carefully planted them in individual pots. I hadĪn unusual success with finding at least 30 or 40 sprouted seeds in the veryĮarly spring. This past summer has been a very funny year for me and I am not sureĮxactly what happened and thought you might help me with some advice. After two or three years of growth I enjoy just giving I usually am successful with around 15 or so Have gotten my seeds from the same mature tree every year and go thru your I am not in large production like you are. I have followed your directions for growing Japanese Rew Maple Small Japanese Red Maples should be grown in an area that gets at least 50% shade for the first year or so. Once the first leaves appear make sure you bury only the seed and not the leaves. The little white tail that appears first is the root, so buy seed root and all. As the seeds sprout you can pick them out of the bag and plant the tiny seedlings in a flat of seed starting mix. Check the bag every few days for sprouting seeds. You want the seeds cold, but not frozen.Īfter 90 days in the fridge take the bag of seeds out and just put them on the counter or other suitable area at room temperature. Not your freezer, and not way to the back of your refrigerator. After mixing together well just put the mixture in a freeze bag and put the bag in your refrigerator. Mix the seeds with some sand and peat moss or Perlite and peat moss. Mark your calendar so you don’t forget about them. If you prefer to do the mid winter sowing method just store the prepared seeds in a paper bag in a cool dry place until about mid to late February. You need for the soil to warm so the seeds will germinate. Keep the flat watered, but allow the soil to dry between watering so the soil has a chance to warm up. Come spring you can remove the screen and allow the flat to get more sun. The seeds actually need this cold treatment before they will germinate. Just leave the flat outside in the cold all winter. The holes should be at least 1/4″ in diameter and about 1″ on center. You can use just about anything for a flat, but if you use a cake pan, dish pan etc., you must drill a lot of holes in the bottom so no water stands in the flat.
