Japanese Maples are not cheap, especially the red varieties. Even the cheap ones are $30 and up and collector varieties run hundreds of dollars. As far as grafting goes, this is not possible. Only plants in the same genus can be grafted and out of all the people on this forum only a very few will have the skill to make a successful graft. All this talk about grafting MJ is mostly fantasy. Why would anyone want to do this in the first place. If you want four different varieties, plant four different plants.

I planted a Laceleaf Japanese Maple. It was $30, red and they are slow growing. At least here in MT.

Medical users who want to remain legal, yet want to grow many strains are the people who would *want* to do that shit.


It's a bitch though, and not very practical (easier doing multiple plants) but eh some people like projects lol bongsmilie

I've started some Japanese maples from seed, and had a few bonsai too. Not only do they take FOREVER to germinate, but they can be difficult to grow until more established. But they're beautiful trees, and I love their colors.

You can buy these at your local home d* or loew*s stores and they really are not too bad in price. Keep in mind they do not like a lot of direct sunshine all day long. I have wanted one for some time now just don't have a good location to plant it without it getting all burned up here where I live.

If it's a sunnier spot they are more green, and more shade they are red. They are really cool.
