Hi, moonphase, we have traded in the past. I have a lot of extra seeds, many from my yard and many from swaps. Take a look and let me know if you see anything you would like. I tried some Japanese maple seeds last year but nothing came up. Becky

No, I don't think dried seed will germinate quite that easily for you - Fall sowing fresh seed may have resulted in easy seedlings this Spring. Clothiers: Acer palmatum , Japanese maple, seed should be collected from the tree before it dries, then sown directly outdoors for germ. the following spring. To try to mimic what mother nature would have done with these in Fall, try pouring hot water over the seeds, let stand in the water for 24-48 hours. Drain water from seed, put them in a zip lock with a little moist sterile sand or vermiculite at room temperature for 60 days, then cold stratify for not less than 60 days and up to 120 days before bringing them back to warm.

Hello Looking for some fresh California Sycamore (not the London Plane Tree or hybrids)and Big Leaf Maple seeds. Need about 2 cups of the California Sycamore seed pods and about 2.5 cups of the Big Leaf Maple seed with wings. Will have fresh Valley Oak and Mesa Oak acorns to trade (fall). Will pay shipping California Sycamore and London Plane trees are very similar. Seed pods on California sycamore are smaller (about1/2the size) of the London Plane Tree. About the size of a small moth ball.

Are you still looking for Big Leaf Maple seed? When the snow melts, I can probably get you plenty of seeds ready to germinate--they'll be East Slope Cascades source. Or if you want a plant--I have some to trade. Do you still have acorns?
