You can pick them up on ebay they are sold by the group ( 10-20 seeds) and sumetimes amusingly by the ounce like drugs ( I assume in little baggies ;>) ). they are over priced IMHO but if you want to play a bit and have years to grow a tree go for it ..david

It's a beautiful tree. I'd like to give a try growing this tree. I have red barrel cactus seed pod to trade. Pods are still in the plant, will pick them anytime I am ready to mail. Let me know if you like to swap. Thanks.

I don't have any experience with Japanese maples but common sense would say to wait until the maple itself decides its seeds are ripe. i.e. when they start to fall naturally. I have grown other trees from seed which I have just collected up off the ground. Why make things harder?

I have been lurking in this forum and others for some ideas. We need to landscape some new beds as a result of re-doing our back patio area and adding a pond. I'd like to put in a Japanese Maple on one side of the pond. Am looking at the Crimson Queen laceleaf, but I keep reading conflicting information about how big it will be in 10-15 years. I'm looking for a variety that only gets 4-8' max in height. I know the spread will be about 6'. You folks seem to know a lot about the various JM varieties. I have a grafted JM in a front planting bed that is gorgeous. It's been there a little over 5 years and is only about 5 ft now, so the growth rate is slow (about a half a foot or less per year I'm guessing in my zone 7b). Thanks!

If I may I'd like to remind that japanese maple seeds are like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get. So just because the seeds come from a red variety or a laceleaf variety does not mean that the seedlings will be the same or even similar to that of the parent. There is a higher chance that they will be similar compared to seeds of a normal green japananese maple, but no guarantee.

Go to your local nursery and ask them if you can harvest seeds from their trees when the tips start to brown. I have never had one say no.
