This auction is for a collection of 25x seeds from an established Acer Palmatum 'Bloodgood' (the large red one in the photos).

There are more than 250 different cultivars of the Japanese Maple tree which come in all kinds of different sizes, different shapes, and have a variety of different growing characteristics.  The Japanese Maple is one of the most versatile plants you can add to your garden. 

Generally, few of these cultivars will come true to the parent plant when grown from seed.  Nevertheless, they will still be beautiful Japanese Maples and, from a set of 15 seeds, you could grow some really varied-looking trees.  These can then be planted in their own right, or used as rootstock for grafting from a cultivar. 

Growers may have different preferences when growing their Acer Palmatum seeds, with different methods of stratification (if any!).  Therefore these seeds are left untreated and are just kept dry and cool until shipping.  I'd love to hear your growing methods and see photos of your results.
