Description

The listing, *~*~*~One Dozen (12) Fresh Japanese Maple Tree Seeds~*~*(3 DAYS ONLY!!)~*~*20 Seeds for 'GIN'~*~*~* has ended.

Twelve (12) FRESH Japanese Maple Tree Seeds! Japanese Maple Trees are a GORGEOUS small ornamental tree that changes colors throughout the seasons to all different shades of brilliant reds, oranges, yellows and greens and sometimes all colors at the same time! Right now, they are the red color in the 1st and 2nd picture. They are also popular with bonsai tree growers. Now i don't know how they do the bonsai trees, but if you are interested in trying it, there's information online about Japanese Maples and bonsai growers. Generally these trees grow like the one in the first 3 pictures - approx 15-20 feet up by 15-20 feet out.

*~*~FYI~*~* All my seeds come from fresh living flowers, trees and shrubs, etc. I don't go out and buy my seeds. I work hard at getting my seeds from hikes in the woods, parks, neighborhood, my garden, etc to get fresh seeds and then sun dry them in baskets so they stay fresh when shipped.

*~*~*~SPECIAL NOTE~*~*~*This time we're going to do just a regular auction, NOT tiered. However, i have doubled the amount of seeds to 12, and have added a "Get It Now" credit amount! If the "GIN" is used i will add 8 more seeds to equal 20!! Happy Bidding!

*~*~*~Japanese Maple Directions:~*~*~*
.................................................................

Break wings off seeds.

Fill a cup with warm water and put seeds in to soak for 24-48 hours.

Peel outer coating off the seeds.

Place in a wet paper towel to germinate.

Keep towel moist but not sopping wet so seeds dont mold away.

When seeds start to sprout, then you can plant them in a pot of really good potting soil.

In the spring, after the last frost, then you can replant outside.

HAPPY PLANTING AND GOOD LUCK!!

i started some a few days ago. they've been tearing up my lawn and back yard where i live to fix septic and clear out brush. i've waited since last year to see what they were going to do and let ME do as far as planting trees go. they finally finished up a few days ago and i can plant a few trees now. i will let you know how they do! i have done a lot of research since starting the Japanese Maple Auctions Last year. the best site i'v seen is this one. He does a video telling how to get them started from seed.
