| Comments: | This seed is collected in the USA. This type of Acer palmatum does not seem to develop a hard seed coat so no hot water treatment required. Just soak in water 24 hours. The viable seed should sink. (You may do a hot water treatment just to be safe.) Cut a sample of the floaters. If filled, keep soaking or do a hot water treatment to the floaters and they should sink . Then into cold stratification you go (or Fall sowing). Basically the tree looks the same as the large seeded type . The only difference is the size of the seeds. Seeds used by many growers to produce understock used for grafting. |

| Germination info: | Seed requires 90-120 days cold stratification. Some growers report the seed only requires 60 days cold moist stratification. |
| A Trial Packet contains a minimum of 5 - 30 seeds depending on the size of the selected seed. |
