How to Germinate Japanese Maple Seeds from Winged Samaras

Growing Lace Leaf Maples from Seed

Collect the winged seeds (samaras) when they fall and dry. Plant ½ inch deep in good potting soil, keep moist. Seal pot in a plastic bag and refrigerate 90 days for cold stratification. Then move to warm, sunny spot; germination in 2 weeks.

Transplant seedlings at 3–4 inches to individual pots. Harden off 10 days in shade after frost danger passes, then plant in full sun.
