appreciate the video. I wanted to try planting a maple seed from my yard and without doing any research or knowing anything about it I grabbed one, took it out of the little helicopter sheath and stuck it in some soil in a pot. Watered it every day and about a week later I had a seedling. I even kept the pot in my basement without any natural light. It has now been about 3 weeks and I have a 4 inch tall seedling with a few sets of leaves. I moved the pot outside about a week ago. I didn't know that you only had to stratify the seeds that fell in the fall, so thank you.
@@rjhall389 I just left it isn’t he water until the roots started to fill around the glass. And it started to sprout at the top then I put it in some moist dirt in a pot and watered it 2 times a week . The pot was left in a window for sun and the odd time I put it out on the deck on days it was insanely hot or raining
@@stevenjackson5106 it was planted in a pot but groot sadly didn’t make it to be planted in the ground, he was forgotten outside in the summer sun which fried him up, and it was a mistake on my part. But I will be trying again next spring!
@@needachange..8773 we used silver maple seeds, they come in april- may (no need to be germinated), all good, the plants are about 40cm big now, very solid all of them.
@@to5ov472 actually I got the seeds from Amazon online and I really don't have any ideas how to plant it and don't even know when is the right time, I'm from Nagaland, India.
All you have to do to plant red maples is wait until April for the red maples to grow out of the ground after planting themself. Then transplant one of them into a pot.
Thanks for the great info. My Maple Tree dropped many of those seeds about a week ago (a guess as I noticed them on the ground late May or early June in New Jersey). I didn't know how I should plant them so your information is very welcome. I will need to buy some potting soil and hopefully I will have success. Thanks very much. Philip
same! I was one time eating an apple and one of the bites had a bean-like flavor. I was confused and spit it out. the seed in the bite ( i dont eat the seeds btw i just hadnt noticed this one) had started to sprout inside the fruit. i cut the apple open and nearly all the seeds had already sprouted. I planted them and they lasted a long time but died of mildew.
People will pay good money for a maple sapling... but I got a big ol maple hanging over most of my yard and maple seedlings pop up anywhere there's a bit of bare dirt. Might try and get some deliberately going in pots and sell them on for a couple bucks, or even just give them away. Its a really nice tree, and there's just something very satisfying about seeing a tree get growing and establish itself.
I just put a helicopter seed in a cup of moist dirt then planted it in late summer. It survived the winter (which surprised me because we had a really hard one this year)!
Hey man, awesome tutorial! If you plant it in container in the summer, and you need to plant it outside in the spring, do you need to change container in the bigger one because of the roots? One more thing, how long do you keep bottom of the bottle on the seed? Do you wait to sprouts and then remove it?
Depends on how big the container that you started your seed in was. If it is about 1 gallon in size, you do not need to repot it if you are planning on transplanting the following spring. Yes, you should wait until it sprouts and then remove the bottle. Best of luck!
Awesome tutorial :) This is one of the only tutorials of its kind on RUclips and it sure is the greatest! Do you have any idea where I can buy these seeds in the UK?
I’ve got one that landed perfectly in the centre of one of my empty planters. I’m currently living in Hell’s Buttcrack, Arizona, so I’m pretty happy that it fell in an area that gets indirect sunlight most of the day, direct sunlight very briefly, and shade all in variable amounts throughout the day and year. I decided to just let it be and give it water. We’ll see what happens, but if all goes well, I shall name it “Lucky” and it will be my friend-tree.
Hi, so I have successfully grown a small tree from a seed and it's now approximately 70cm in height and thriving. As I'm planning to keep it in a pot on my balcony, I don't want it to grow super tall, but it hasn't yet developed branches, it's just one stick with leaves on it. Should I somehow prune it to ensure a "tree shape" in a slightly smaller form or will branches develop naturally over time? It's a rosewood tree, if that helps. I want it to grow a max height of 2m, so it stays manageable on a balcony.
Where I live, it seems they are happy to just plant themselves! Plenty of seedlings in ground, in pots, even on the deck. But none of them seemed to last after a while.
When and where do the branches grow on a Japanese Maple Seedling. I have at least 7 true pairs of leaves and it's about 10 weeks old, do these leaves turn into branches or do the branches grow from elsewhere on the stem? Sorry I'm very new to growing trees from seeds.
I appreciate your effort to present such a helpful video. If you kindly enlighten me a little more with the process in tropical region. I am from Bangladesh. I have already collected Red maple seeds here in Bangladesh and feeling thrilled to grow them from seeds. The weather is quite different from your region, you know. We have a short duration of winter having temperature between 66 degree F (19 degree C) to 84 degree F (29 degree C) on an average. Otherwise, it is summer, spring or rainy season. In that matter, it seems that Maple should grow better here. Like, now it is rainy season with at least one spell of rain every day amounting 15 mm. All through these summer, spring or rainy season mean temperature varies from 75 degree F(24 degree C) to 97 degree F(36 degree C). So, I like to know- 1)Do I need to go for stratification? 2) Any other deviation I need to follow from the process you presented. Thanks and heartfelt gratitude in advance.
hallo mbak, bisa di jelasin dong cara tanam nya, apakah sama dengan yg di video ini? Tolong share ya, soalnya saya tanam juga gak tumbuh, malah mati kering T_T
Got my red maple seeds today Looking forward to the bright vibrant colors ! Author of Solar Independent Utility Systems Manual online Maybe one day I can show my work again
Thank you for a great video. If I take seeds from an Acer Rubrum, October Glory, is it possible to grow a new little Rubrum tree, where the leaves will also turn red in the fall? I live in Denmark and would like this tree in my garden :-) Very much .... Many greetings from Bo Møller
I’m just wondering if can make a video about how grow an ash tree from a seed. I’ve been trying my best to grow them but I don’t know if I’m doing right. I even tried online sources but I don’t think they’re really helpful.
Do not water it daily! Also most maples do not like full sun exposure, they like partial shade, especially if its a baby it can die from prolonged sun exposure! I hope you got the plant fixed :P Also if you have the bottle or some sort of cover on it the moisture remains in it, that way you can water it once a week at the beginning.
I didn't water it after that first time when it was a seed since the water bottle kept it moist. After, I water it every time the top inch of soil dries up. About once every week or week and a half. Hope this helps!
Hey how you doing I was looking at your video and I bought some sugar maple seeds I live in Florida but the trees I am taking it to Missouri question about the seeds and they come in a packet do I could follow the same instructions that you are doing and what type of soil should I buy and what size of pot you recommend?
Acer macrophyllum (big leaf maple or Oregon maple) a tall broadly columnar tree from western North America found along stream banks and in moist woods. It can grow up to 80 ft. (24m)with 5 lobed dark green glossy leaves 10 inches(25cm) long and 12in (30 cm) across on long stalks. Turns bright orange in autumn. We had these wonderful maples growing on our property on Vancouver Island north of Courtenay.My dad used the wood to make some of our furniture with. We also picked some of the early spring swollen leaf buds before they opened to eat after steaming them and adding butter and a dash of salt and pepper. They grow in zones 6-8. Let me know if you have any questions about these trees or any other trees. I love all trees and have grown many since I was 12yrs old . I am 69 yrs old. Be safe and happy planting!
Only refigerate hard maple species like Japanese maple, Sugar maple, Norway Maple, etc. American red maple and Silver maple dont require stratification
I have a question for you, why do Red and Silver Maple seeds not require Stratification in order to germinate? Why do they not require Stratification? Why? What are the reasons why do Red and Silver Maple seeds not require Stratification? Please explain why do they not need that. Please explain this because so that I can understand this. Please explain.
I have a Red Maple but most of the seeds are growing green leaf trees....not true copies of the mother tree....some have red leaves but not most of them...the mother tree is 40 feet tall dark red and beautiful and was originally grafted onto a green maple base at the nursery where we bought it years ago.

I found one of these seeds, I just unwrapped and put in a glass of water and the roots are growing and there are a few leaves i named it groot
I love that
How long did you leave it in the water and how many times did you change out the water? I’m trying to grow a maple and need some tips:)

I appreciate your explanation and the way you show us the method. Thank you it was short but really clear and straight to the correct way
We collected today about 2 pockets of silver maple seeds with my son, we'll try this tomorrow, thank you !!
I'm gonna try it, have your seeds germinated, how is the results.

when you drop bunch of those seeds from high place it feels awesome
Lol, I'm in my late 50s and I still love doing that! 😊
All you have to do to plant red maples is wait until April for the red maples to grow out of the ground after planting themself. Then transplant one of them into a pot.
All you need is a ladder. A lazy neighbor will have them growing in their gutters.
Thanks for the great info.

Great tutorial! I love growing trees from seed!
same! it makes me happy cus we are saving earth !!!
same! I was one time eating an apple and one of the bites had a bean-like flavor.

This works!Mine just sprouted today!As I was just worried that it wouldnt grow!
"Recycle the top of bottle!" I salute U
This was a fabulous tutorial. Thank you for making and sharing it.

Very informative video and with hows, whys and explanations. Short and concise. Thank you.
Where do you grow it until you planted in your yard do you keep them indoors or outdoors I am in Pennsylvania and it gets cold here
I just put a helicopter seed in a cup of moist dirt then planted it in late summer. It survived the winter (which surprised me because we had a really hard one this year)!
That intro song is just awesome
Hii
Great tutorial! I was wondering: why is it necessary to decrease germination time?
Some people dont have as much patience
The birds already planted a maple seed in my hosta planter... or maybe it was the squirrel I saved?.... I was blessed by nature. I'm so grateful 🌱🍃🙏💖
Thanks friend this was awesome😊❤ I can't wait to get started and have three of these; I'm looking forward to making homemade organic syrup.😋
I appreciate this as i am planning to plant a maple tree seed i found. Thank youu

Thank you! You can usually find them on trees in your local parks and such. I am not sure where they are sold in the UK, I apologize.
Ok not a problem, when would be the best time to collect these seeds?
The best time would be late spring or early summer. There might still be some around trees that have not germinated yet.
I’ve got one that landed perfectly in the centre of one of my empty planters.

Lovely video short to the point love it
Thats a cute tree Thanks for the info 😃
Thank you for sharing this vid. Very informative and helpful.
Loved the explanation. Will try it.Thanks
Cool man🤗
The problem is germinating the seed is fine, it’s later on bugs will eat the leaves and rabbits, getting them through the first winter is tough.

Do you know how to grow maple tree?
When and where do the branches grow on a Japanese Maple Seedling. I have at least 7 true pairs of leaves and it's about 10 weeks old, do these leaves turn into branches or do the branches grow from elsewhere on the stem? Sorry I'm very new to growing trees from seeds.
trees are majestic
hey what is perfect temperature for sprouting of maple seeds
The ones from the fall are much harder to grow. Pick ones from the spring. Much easier

I am in Bogor Indonesia..my maple seed that i brought from Melbourne last week has growing..the average temp here 23-34°..i am so excited
hallo mbak, bisa di jelasin dong cara tanam nya, apakah sama dengan yg di video ini?
Tolong share ya, soalnya saya tanam juga gak tumbuh, malah mati kering T_T
Apakah bijinya ditaruh kulkas dulu ?!
Shinta, can you please tell me how you were able to grow yours? I plan to plant a maple tree in Manila. the weather is always around 23-38Deg here :(
I found a maple tree seedling in one of my flower pots outside. I have no idea how it got there but I really would like to keep it.
Very thorough.
😇 Awesome Video 😇
Short & simple. Thanks! :)
I just brought some seeds online and it’s Autumn here in Australia should I plant them now or put them in the fridge till spring
Soak them
Got my red maple seeds today
Looking forward to the bright vibrant colors ! Author of Solar Independent Utility Systems Manual online
Maybe one day I can show my work again
Thank you for a great video. If I take seeds from an Acer Rubrum, October Glory, is it possible to grow a new little Rubrum tree, where the leaves will also turn red in the fall?

Yes. Your welcome.
very cool, i have to try this
Great video
great tuturial keep vloging
Great! By the way Are there any tips about Norway maple? Got some seeds but don't know when it had fallen :/

Do a spruce tree toutorial
I did a spruce tree video last week
way too slow growing trees
Ty for the video .
Hi can these be planted all year round?
Nope only in spring or fall
Love it 😍
Thankyou!!!!!!
What about warm and cold stratification? Does maple really need thoose procces?
Fabian Ajib silver maple and southern red maple doesn’t need ir
Do I need to water the seed in germination process?
Maple tree grow very tall, is there a way to keep maple tree small in a large pot?
I am from delhi and have bought mapple seeds but what is favourable time to be sprouted I don't know, please tell me.
When would be the best time to plant the seed? Is it ok if I do it now?
Thanks! :)
Do they really only take a week or so to germinate? That's really fast!
Did you water it every day while it was a seed? and how often do you water it after?
I didn't water it after that first time when it was a seed since the water bottle kept it moist. After, I water it every time the top inch of soil dries up. About once every week or week and a half. Hope this helps!
I found these seeds in the drive way and they have red shade color. May I know What type of maple are they? Thanks in advance

Can you keep the seed with in 3 months or so before you plant it?
Terimakasih semua infonya
which seasons is the best to do it ? spring? or when did you planted the seed ?
I live in Mn....do I need to keep the seedling in a greenhouse or indoors til it is suggested to plant next spring?
Laurie Johnson waits for a year
Let’s make some maple syrup 😁
What size pot should I use? I don’t want to have to transplant them and they seem to grow very fast.
Should I water the plant while it is in the greenhouse phase?
Dont
just an fyi for views, if views don't stratify thier maple seeds there's a good chance the seeds won't produce. thanks for the tutorial.
I live in texas i cant ever find a wild maple tree ive seen one butt i forgot wear i was bye and i want to buy one what should i do

It is so simple thanks, American people make it so complicated a like rocket science
Can it grow in Kerala climate?
Mine is sprouted in the shell i found it not in the ground so i thought why not try
Many people refrigerate the seeds in plastic bag, is it ok to do so
Only refigerate hard maple species like Japanese maple, Sugar maple, Norway Maple, etc. American red maple and Silver maple dont require stratification
Now u just have to wait 50 years for it to grow
And make maple syrup
Found a helicopter and the seed in it already grew roots
As I’m doing this it’s in my hand
I have a question for you, why do Red and Silver Maple seeds not require Stratification in order to germinate? Why do they not require Stratification? Why? What are the reasons why do Red and Silver Maple seeds not require Stratification? Please explain why do they not need that. Please explain this because so that I can understand this. Please explain.
What do I do with it all year if I have to wait until the following spring to plant it?
Throw it a birthday party?
Collect seeds thr following spring
do you have update
Good night!
I would like to know:
Do you send the seedlings or seeds?
I am from Brazil
Did you get any seeds?
Sorry but most of Brazil is too warm unless you live in San Paulo or southern part near uruguay
Hello, I have a red maple, how do I change it (cutting)? Can you help me please?
Hi, please can you tell me if I can possibly grow a maple tree in a tropical country like Philippines?
No i am sorry they need winter dormancy
I have a Red Maple but most of the seeds are growing green leaf trees....not true copies of the mother tree....some have red leaves but not most of them...the mother tree is 40 feet tall dark red and beautiful and was originally grafted onto a green maple base at the nursery where we bought it years ago.
The leaves turn red when it gets a really cold blast. It’s caused by the plant sugars trying to act as an antifreeze
Soo anyone know about the part he said he wasn't gonna cover?
I accidentally grew one because I found a seed with a root in one of my plant pots not I’m trying to grow it wish me luck
What temperature needs for germination process ?
70 F temp is optimal and out of direct sunlight.
are you used statification method previusly?
Acer rubrum does not need cold stratification.
Acer palmatum does.
Hola disculpe yo tengo un arbolito bueno son varios pero uno ya yeva tres meses que germinó pero no muy quiere crecer algún abono que me recomiende gracias
can this grow in tropical climate?
yes. but give them a little cold area to stay
LilMisterCat where? in refrigerator?
+DimiStranaHD yes it can stay inide a ref
+LilMisterCat inside*
Inside a ref! :o Thats too cold I guess
That's a silver maple?
