Germinating Japanese maples is actually quite easy if you have the right seeds, the right conditions and proper cultural techniques. Personally I have germinated hundreds of thousands of Japanese maples. We mostly use them for grafting stock in my nursery but I also sell them as well. I am a lover of Japanese maples! I enjoy them so much that I started a nursery specializing in Japanese maples. I have been in the nursery business for a long time and have worked with many different Japanese maple growers over the years. Through my wonderful nursery connections here in the Northwest and through my own personal experience I have mastered the art of germinating Japanese maple seeds. I hope this book gives you some valuable insight and helps you succeed in germinating your Japanese maple seeds
