- How to Easily Germinate Japanese Maple Seeds (Part 6) How Red is the New Spring Growth.
The series continues and the Japanese maple seeds that we germinated last spring haven't let us down yet. 18 inches of new growth this early in the growing season! I'm going to need some stakes!

So glad you're doing all of these updates!!! Thank you!
Answering the questions you mentioned in the video of people asking why you make these videos... because inquiring minds want to know. 🙂 Thank you for making them for us!
I have learned a lot with your videos. I love Japanese maple. Iam very excited to start my own seeds. They are so beautiful and they looks so amazing in the garden. Thank you so much, for all that teaching I need it that. Blessings to you.
Best of luck, Nydia, and blessings back to you as well!
Thank you so much for posting this series of videos to show the evolution from seed to baby trees. It's exactly what I've been looking for to get a better understanding of the progression. Can't wait to start trying this on my own!
Awesome! Glad you got some good info out of the series.
Keep making these videos Mike....no matter what people say!👍
I'll keep making them as long as you keep watching them. Thanks for your support!
Just wanna say thanks for your all your lessons on seeding and germination ! I'm actually planning on starting my own plant nursery someday so your channel has all the perfect info !! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome! You can do it. I'm glad you enjoy the videos and have fun building your nursery!
Love the Japanese maples they are beautiful. Always learning from your videos.
Thanks, Ralph, more to come!
Thanks for the update I love Japanese maples they’re such a beautiful specimen
They sure are, and they get better and better every year as they grow.
Hey Mike, thanks for the series, nice job
Thanks for watching, Ramiro!
Here it is, the end of November here in mid-NC and I just went out this afternoon and collected all of the red Japanese maple seeds I could. I didn't know what to do with them, but since I already collected them in a freezer bag I know I'm on my way to seedlings thanks to your videos. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub and enjoy the videos!
Yes our Japanese Maples drop seedlings too and we get several plants like that too. Like you said it depends on the weather.
Absolutely!
Mike, doing it your way is perfect. I have a few different Japanese maples planted together and this is an ideal way to plant a lot of random seeds and follow the development of each tree. You never know, there might be a wonderful new variant among them.
That's right! I love finding that needle in the haystack when it comes to plants.
Wow! I had been following you for long. It's worth it
Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying the videos.
So I plugged in my refrigerator out in the forest to mimic nature for my maple seeds it worked great. Lol thanks for taking the time to show everyone one of the best ways to do it right.
Haha, I love it!
Hey Mike I just wanted to let u know that I tried to replicate as best I could exactly what u did with your maples. I collected about a few hundred seeds from a larger and smaller Japanese maple on November 11th, wet the bag and popped them in the fridge. Around mid April I planted them I left them outside and didn't cover the tote I was keeping them in. I didn't get nearly as much success as u did but it definitely worked! I'm still finding more and more sprouts.
Awesome, Luke! That's what I'm talking about. Great job man!
What Mike does is for the Washington environment, make sure to adjust the variables for where you live. So if it doesn't rain as much (which is likely) water a little more or make sure they stay humid. Try to mimic the native conditions of the plant. Not to be annoying, just trying to help. I am also trying to propagate Japanese maples and love the info.
Thank you for this series of great vids. I've got permission to collect seeds and I'm looking forward to growing some beautiful trees. Subscribed 😃
Awesome! It's a fun journey.
This series has gotten me to subscribe to your channel
Thanks for the sub!
Excellent series on the Japanese maples! I germinated a couple of seeds last year and I think i will have a go again after seeing your videos. Great to see all the different stages and follow ups. Keep up the good work! PS ive never heard someone call a poly-tunnel a hoophouse before, this made me laugh :-)
Thanks, I loved making this series of videos. Been calling it a hoophouse for years, lol.
Love Japanese maple, especially the lacy one. Thanks Mike! I think Johnny was trying to chirp with the birds 😂
He'll compete with anything that makes a sound ;)
Mike Kincaid I think so!
Have an amazing weekend, enjoy your beautiful family! Hugs from Atlanta.
Hi Mike. Chris from England. Just bought some seeds from China. Im going to do exactly what you did. Also we do have a mature Japanese maple out the front. Ive instructed the other half to collect the leaves in the fall. As you call it. To do my own. Thanks for the lessons.
Glad you enjoyed the video and have fun germinating your seeds.
Hey mike please make a video for your potting soil

😂❤️Johnny you should show him 😂
Haha, yeah, all he does is squawk. All squawk and no action, lol.
Another enjoyable video!! To me, the Japanese Maple tree is the most beautiful tree I have seen. I have one in my backyard; and last year I thought about air-layering it. About 2-1/2 weeks ago, I did air-layer one limb. I really don't have room to plant seeds or cuttings; but a few of my new friends -members of "I Love Plant Propagation," asked about sharing the Japanese Maple tree seeds. I have offered two of the members, who want to plant the seeds, that I will send them some seeds when they are ready to come off of the tree. I love to share what I have. One of the "new friends" stated that the seeds would be ready about October -another in November. There is pinestraw beneath the tree, so if they were to fall I may not be able to find and gather them. How will I know when they are ready to be removed from the tree; or do I need to "watch faithfully," and know when they are going to fall or can be picked so that I can share? Thanks, Mike!!
I just watch the trees and when the first seeds start falling I start picking. Around here, that usually happens in November.
Mike can you do an update video on all your Rhododendrons which you’ve planted out on your property. Cheers.
It's in the works
i also want to plant maple in my house , but here we cannt find any seeds in my country, .. anyway good job bro, i really enjoyed n been through all of ur vdos of japanese maple, tq so much
You're welcome, glad you enjoy the videos!
I've got 37 red japanese maple tree growing wowwww
Awesome!
Hello Mike thanks for the update on the Maples glad to see them growing strong.
What about the green giant screen and the difference between the potted ones in the hoop house?
I'll have to give it some more time for an update. No growth during the winter so you'd basically be looking at the same video. They're just starting to grow again this spring but already have about 6 inches on them. I think by the end of summer, I'll be amazed. I'll make an update in the fall.
Mike Kincaid
Thank you for the response, does that mean you will be keeping some going just in post in the hoop house?
I am trying to see if I would be better off buy seedlings and put them in pots for some time or should I mend the soil good now and go straight into the ground.
Last video I saw makes me think I should do pots. Thanks again
Love your videos,what type firtalizer do you use on the maples ???
Thanks Damon! I use the same fertilizer for just about everything around here. Here's a video about it: ruclips.net/video/F5BRZwFEe50/видео.html
I’ve got a few around my porch that I just planted the seeds do you thank they will make it
I guess time will tell but nature knows what she's doing.
You should start growing juniperus rigida and prunus mume!!!! There’s a high demand in the American bonsai community right now!!!
Both varieties make beautiful bonsai!
What do you fertilize with and what else were you adding into the soil to help?
Here's a video about the fertilizer: ruclips.net/video/F5BRZwFEe50/видео.html The other granules I added are a pre-emergent to prevent weed seeds from sprouting.
Hi Mike I just wanted to ask you a question. I just bought some maple seeded they came in a sealed packet. I have watched your video's do I germinate the seeded the same way
If they are dried then I'd soak them overnight and put in the fridge for 3 months, then bring them out and plant them.
Ngl, im down for Japanese Maple Part 19. I just got some seeds in the mail and watching your vids on how to germinate. But because I live in Hawaii, not sure how they will fare. The plant will surely get more than enough sun light but we dont really get an icy winter, more like a rainy winter wit a low of 65 deg
LOL, I'm sure I've got room for more maple videos!
Hi Mike, thanks for the info , I live in southern California, can I collect my seeds in October , what do you recommend , thanks again
When you see the leaves start to fall then get to picking. If it's too warm in the winter and the leaves never fall then just start collecting when it gets cooler like in November/December.
Mike do you have any peony tree and Encore Azalea in your collections ? i heard Encore Azalea bloom spring to fall ? i asked you a question while ago about if you know the name of hydrangea multi colors bloom in one plant , last fall i found two plants , they call La dreamin , if you interested get some ,Thank you .
I do have a couple evergreen azaleas but don't buy the encore because you can't sell them without permission. Beautiful azaleas though. The hydrangea you mentioned sounds nice, I'll have to look it up.
mike if the maples grow leggy can i prune the tops of so i can get side shoots growing, thanks for the time you have given us all on maples
Absolutely! I've done the same thing and it does help create better branching.
@@MikeKincaid79 many thanks
Love the Japanese maples ..
Are they a smaller red maple tree ?
I'm looking for one to add to my landscape, but don't wanna 50ft tree ..
Just something that's Smaller and def the Red maple ..
Love all your videos :)
Thanks for sharing them !
Yes, they're a smaller maple that get around 15 feet tall but that takes a lot of years.
Skeeters Broom is a nice well behaved red maple or one of the lace varieties, Crimson King or Red Lace.
acechadwick ..
Thank You :)
Grow maples grow 🍁, crow Johnny crow :) Thanks Mike :)
Haha, sounds like a Chuck Berry song!
mike where is a good place to buy seeds from I would like about 30 seeds to do in nov. and set the seeds out in March here in alabama
I haven't found a good source yet but still looking.
Hey Mike thanks for all your videos, im a fan from mexico, have a question for you hope you can help me, to produce maple trees any variety i mean for a nursery business , is it best to germinate seeds or grafting? ive just started this year with my nursery, my first maples have germinated but i heard that most maples sold on nurseries through the US are grafted so i wonder if im starting the right way or why do they have to graft maples can they just sell them the natural way i mean without grafting? thanks Mike
There is genetic variability with seeds so you don't get an exact clone of the parent tree when planting seeds. Cuttings or grafting create an exact clone of the parent tree. So if you sell the seedlings, you can't sell them as a specific variety (just a generic red maple) but if you sell grafted trees you can sell them as specific varieties such as 'Bloodgood' japanese maple.
thanks mike
thank you for the nice videos!! :)
what are those pink flowers in 0:08 in the video?
thank you and keep up the great work!!!
greetings from germany
oh i think you said it in the end of the video, unfortunately i can't understand it :D
Weigela!
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you :)
Do you sell you’re plants to the public or garden centers?
Yes, but we're not officially open to the public. I sell them wholesale and retail through a local feed store.
ive ordered some maple seeds i want to try grow and turn one into bonsai tree and the rest grow like normal tree's
You can do both!
In which material do u sow mapple seeds
How is that material made plzzzzz
I used finely ground fir bark. It's a by-product of the forestry industry in my area. You can use anything that drains well but holds some moisture and is inert.
Mike Kincaid can i mix sand saw dust nd soil
How can you tell me difference between a Japanese Maple and another species of maple?
size, leaf pattern, growth habit, etc. It's a big question. The best thing you can do is just start reading, researching, and looking at lots of maples and pictures.
I over watered my japanese maples
Will they still germinate
You'll get at least some of them to germinate. Not sure if you're talking about overwatering potting soil or just the seeds in the bag.
Can we propagate them from cuttings?
Yes, but it's a lot tougher to do and the results are poor. The different varieties don't grow well on their own roots and really should be grafted onto a strong rootstock.
Thanks for the tip!
What zone are you in Mike?
8b
Interesting -I have been told for years that I live in Zone 8a -in the last year; I read that I am in Zone 8b; and I am way southeast of you (Zip 30904). Are my sources incorrect?
Ordered some seeds they came dried... now what???
Not my preferred method but the best option is to soak them in water for about 24 hours, then stratify in the fridge for 3 months, then plant them. It can take up to 2 years for dried seeds and a smaller percentage of germination is usually the result.
I try every year. One year 5 germinated then 4 didn’t make it ? Finally my 5. “ seedling got chopped in half by a squirrel!
LOL, sounds like it's time for some squirrel hunting.
To my opinion Japanese maple don't like full sun unless you are in cooler climates here in South Carolina u must keep them moist and out of all day sun it just cooks them here
Good to know. Mulch cures a lot of problems. A 6 inch layer of mulch might help keep moisture at the roots just enough to plant them in full sun if that's all you have.
You’re so cute
