| Im new to trading plants. I have a new house & yard that Im discovering its secrets as Spring unfolds. There are hundreds of small Jap Red Maple babies shooting up all over my yard. Some seedlings are older, about 2' high and stems abt as thick as a pencil or sharpie. Likely these babies are borne of two enormous old full-size red maples we cut down over winter b/c they are highly toxic to horses, which I planned to bring onto the property this spring, so the maples had to go (I hated cutting them down, & although I was quoted a price of $5,000 for both, they were located in spots that would've been impossible to dig them out successfully for transplanting in another yard). My guilt of killing the two old trees compels me to offer the babies to gardeners who can love them as i would if I didn't have horses. I would love to trade but will also send babies for postage. My tradelist only includes seeds so LMK what you have -- I have 3 bare acres to landscape! The one plant I *really* would like to have is Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica).

PS. Pics available on request of babies (in full red regalia) or adult trees (unfortunately dormant winter pics but will give idea of size). |

| Kerry, I would love to have a few of your Japanese Maples. The only trees I have to trade right now are cherry trees that fruit heavily and are very sweet. Also, please check my trade lists and see if I have any seeds you'd like or let me know how much postage you'll need for a few trees. Thanks, Joel. |

| I dont' mean to sound disrespectful, but are you sure these are Japanese Maple babies ? I have a zillion little maple babies sprouting up all over my yard from my regular maple trees, and when they are tiny, they are red, and look very much like my japanese red maple, but as they grow they turn into a regular maple. It's just so much harder to root a Japanese variety from seeds like that. If they are Japanese, I'd be interested in a trade. |
