Trident Maple seeds

[pwk5017]

wow!!!! man, 1000 watts is intense. Probably want to watch how close that sucker is to your seedlings. Could fry them if its within 6 inches or so. Pretty much what everyone has said works. Im still trying to figure out how to get high percentages of germination with maples. They are tough cookies. Just keep an eye on them. When several begin to pop, you know you are there.

Yeah, its like the sun. I have the plants about 2-3 feet away. Some even more. Up to 6'. I have some of my tropicals out there, and as a backup if any plants start budding early. we have crazy weather here. 60 in the day, and 25 at night sometimes.

Their not hard to grow from seeds if you stratify them and follow directions from the internet and other sources.

I did however have problems with many of them dieing off after they were growing strong. I think a good spray of anti-fungicide might help. I still ended up with a lot of seedlings. I have them for sale if anyone is interested. This year I am planting out a lot more tridents, Acer Campestre, acer davidii, acer platanoides, acer negundo, some flowering quince, hawthorn, and prunus mume. Wish me luck
