I love the miniature japanese red maples. can these be grown from seed? I read that they are grafted.
What are the chances of growing one from seed that it will be the same color/shape/size of the parent tree?
thank you.

The chances are slim to none...... that is the reason they are grafted.....
On the other hand the seed grown tree may/will grow into a tree that will still be a wonderful addition to the landscape & there is a slim chance it will be better than any other existing tree.
