Seedlings and seed 2021
Posted: June 26th, 2021, 5:59 pm
As usual there are plenty of trident maple seedlings all through the garden beds.
Same arrangements as previous years:
Tridents:
small - up to 3mm trunk thickness. 50c each. Still reasonably flexible so suit bending or as smaller stems in group planting.
medium - approx 3-6mm thick. $1 each. Suit groups, fusion, thread through holes or just growing on.
large - 6-10mm (around pencil thick) $2 each. Suit fusion, growing on or groups.
extra large - 10mm + thick (around finger thick) $5 each. Limited numbers. Note that thicker is not always better or quicker for bonsai. These have little taper and will need to be chopped hard to make bonsai.
Group packs $20 - 3 large, 10 medium and 10 small tridents ready to arrange in a tray for your own forest.
Other uses for trident maple seedlings: root grafting - straight ones for thread grafting or L shaped trunks for approach grafting to roots. Tell me if you want these so I can pick out some that will suit your needs. Small and med sizes are better.
Trident maples:
Nowhere near as many of these as they are less hardy in the garden and slower to grow. $1 each and you get whatever size comes.
all seedlings are as they come out of the ground. Some have many roots, some have few. All orders sent bare rooted wrapped in damp paper in a plastic bag. These seedlings are fine packed like that for a week or more. Just refresh the moisture levels on arrival and they will be Ok for another couple of weeks if you don't have time to pot up straight away.
SEED: for those who want to do it all themselves I can supply fresh harvested trident maple and Japanese maple seed. Both germinate readily without need for all the fiddly stratification. JM seed is from a range of garden trees with differing characteristics which may or may not come through in the seedlings. Let me know if you want seed from trees with particular characteristics (red summer foliage, smaller leaf, dwarf, weeping, etc) or a mix for lucky dip.
$5 for 20 seed. $10 for 50 seeds
Please allow for delivery cost on all orders. Post charges vary according to size and weight. Seed; add $3 per order. Seedlings from $15. Express option available.
