Decided to have some fun trying my hand at growing Maple seeds (this should be interesting). I have recently picked up a few Orangeola, Bloodgood, Aoyagi, and Trident Maple seeds.

Of course I also have my green maples that I started not too long ago, and they are currently gaining their 3rd set of leaves.

Currently in Southern California, it is beginning to get warmer here, albeit we are still having lots of sporadic cool weather and rain.

This means major protection will need to be given to prevent these little ones from burning. Especially after lots of my younger Pine seedlings last year go torched when they were accidentally left inside of a smaller green house that didn’t have adequate shade.

My dad has also got into the maple swing, and he noticed tons of seeds on his red maple. We decided to try as we can still cold stratify and plant for this season, as SoCal’s warm weather sticks around much longer than most.

Let’s hope we get a lot of sprouts from these.
