Red Japanese Maple Tree Seeds Collected September - October Acer palmatum Atropurpureum 50 seeds. Dont not hesitate to contact me with questions. Growing Japanese maple trees from seed is one of the most common methods of propagation. The seedling trees produced are of two types, the standard green Japanese maple tree known as Acer palmatum, and the red Japanese maple tree known as Acer palmatum Atropurpureum. The green variety of Japanese maple trees are most commonly used as rootstock or understock for grafting purposes, although, they also make good landscaping trees. The red seedlings are most commonly used as landscape trees, but can also be used as rootstock for grafting. Seedling Japanese maple trees will have varying characteristics, just as each child from the same two parents, has differences. I have grown tens of thousands of seedling Japanese maples and have noticed the differences between seedlings vary mostly between seedlings with different parents and not so much between seedlings with the same parents.
