What is a seedling Japanese Red Maple?
Seedling Japanese Red Maple, ACER palmatun Atro-purpurea. Unlike grafted or cutting grown varieties, these trees are produced from seed. Our seed source comes from the northeast United States, cold hardiness zone 4. We have chosen this seed source for the very dark red foliage, rapid growth, hardiness both cold and warm, and good form. The trees are grown and shipped in several sizes ranging from peat pots size 2″x 2″ x 3″ to the Imagine Backyard Trees® 1 year starter size up to 2 gallon pots. We ship small potted trees in the months of September thru May. Due to the packing method used, peat pot trees ship best while dormant or in cooler months, although if requested we will ship during hotter months, slight leaf damage may occur, although this normally doesn’t cause any major harm to the trees. If you request shipping of small potted trees during summer months, it will be at the risk of the buyer. Our small potted trees work great for grafting and for bonsai, or pot them up for sale
