5 Japanese Maple 'Suminagashi' (Acer palmatum Suminagashi) Tree Seeds

Japanese Maples have a compact rounded form that make them superb candidates for bonsai specimens. Alternatively, grow them in your landscape (or even in large terra cotta pots) as a beautiful focal point specimen. They respond well to pruning and are easily shaped. Hardy to -20° Celsius, Japanese Maples are surprisingly easy to grow from seeds. There are numerous Japanese Maple Tree varieties and cultivars. Suminagashi has a broad upright growth habit with bright red new leaves in the spring, turning bronze-green in summer, finally crimson in autumn. This is a large leaf cultivar with seven lobes, growing to a maximum height of about 1.8 to 3 meters.
