I am interested to have some Japanese Maple seeds, since they are impossible to be found around the area where I live.

Thank you.

Where do you live?

Well this has gone two months without reply from original poster.

Alow me to toss a single seedsman who sells tree seeds. That has had Acer in the past. F.W. Schumacher might be a lead for you.

personally I find dried Japan maple seed not particularly viable, Soak seed if you find it, and then store it cool (in fridge) till spring, and only then plant out.

I believe most J. maples are grafts so the seeds may or may not resemble the parent. I occasionally get self-planted seedlings below my J. maples and find that if I carefully dig them up and move into gallon pots, I can then label them as seedling of ABC, and see if they are worth keeping. Some develop quite similar to the parent plant, others are just plain-jane green.

I had a volunteer Japanese Maple that sprouted in my yard, offspring of the neighbors red-purple variety. I gave it to my sister, it has spectacular color, better than the parent. I don't get many seedlings, but I am kind of hoping for more like that one.

When growing Japanese lace leaf , if that is the kind you are trying to grow, it is better to get seeds, from a parent plant that is laced leaf & located, where there are nearby lace leaved maple varieties that are more likely to produce laceleaf seedlings. Yes, it is better to sow ripe seeds, but lacking access, some may just have to stratify the seeds. Warm soak seeds first, to help rehydrate the dry seeds, then plant in the ground ( unless frozen by now) otherwise place a baggy, with moist coffee filter, then store in the refrigerator. If soil isn't frozen by February, or early March & the seeds haven't sprouted yet, in the refrigerator, then sow in the ground. & they may germinate better, in soil, outside during spring with cool soil & weather. They break dormancy, & sprout rather early in spring.

Hello, I live in Northwest Indiana, and still today, I was not able to find any Japanese Maples. It seems like they are disappeared completely.

I saw a stunning picture of an amazing red Japanese maple tree, I would love to have one in my possession, do they have seedlings and if so, does anybody have any red Japanese maple seeds? I would very much like some too.
