Wow what an amount of mikawa seeds. I'm so jealous 😅 Personally I stopped putting seeds in stratification in october because they always begin to germinate too early (especially with fresh seeds). And it's very tricky to manage with young seedlings in december.
@@David-wc5wr not only they can but they do. The fresher the seeds, the faster they sprout in general. Germination can occur after only one month in some cases. You know when it's enough when 50% of the seeds are sprouting. The best moment to collect seeds is when wings are turning brown but the seed remains green. Some japanese maples like japonicum and sieboldianum need longer stratification than palmatum
How exciting! My maples don't have seeds but hopefully my boss lets me collect some from his house lol. Good luck and thank you for sharing this video. Very helpful 👍

I’m ready for that. With some grow lights, a heating mat and a fan I should be good to go.

#MapleNutz next year when I have trees with seeds I will try this method.
You should! I’ll keep y’all updated. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What will happen if you just harvest the seeds and plant them in the soil. Will they germinate?
That is the plan. I will keep y’all updated throughout the entire process. Stay tuned my Maple Nutz friend!!!
How do you know when its time to pick the seeds?
I do it by date, for me 2nd week of October is good. What time zone are you in?

@@thetileman1984 your seeds are ready right now. 2nd week of October is good. Sorry for the late response.
I read that japonicum seeds take 2 years to stratify. Have you tried any japonicum seeds?
I have some in the fridge. I heard 3-4 months.
