| Hi,
I have a laceleaf jaanese male I would like to try to start from seeds. I know the odds are minimum, but I'd like to give it a shot. My leaves are bright red now, and the pods are a variegated red/yellow. Should I harvest them now, or wait longer? Thanks so much,

| 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? |

| When the 'wings' on the seed begin to turn tan, but before they have become completely brown and woody, is ideal time for collecting the seeds of acer palmatum/Japanese maple. That's late summer into early Fall here. |
