This listing is for 1000 x Japanese Maple tree seeds (acer palmatum)


As the name suggests these trees are native to Japan, smaller populations also exist in North Korea, South Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia. They are an adaptable species capable of growing in a wide range of soils and exposures. 

They are generally easy to cultivate and succeed in most soils, preferring a good moist well-drained soil on the acid side and partial shade. They also grow well in heavy clay soils but not in saturated soggy ones. 

The natural species grows faster and larger than the selected garden cultivars. They need more room than you would expect and can grow up to 20m (60ft). They respond well to pruning and can readily cope with having their height controlled in this way.

Requires some shelter in the cooler areas and benefit greatly from protection from cold drying winds. Plants are hardy to about -25°c but spring growth is tender and can be vulnerable to damage by late frosts.

Germination, sowing and after care instructions go out with every order.

Thanks for looking!!!
