💡 Care Tip:
Japanese Maple seeds require scarification and extended cold stratification. Pour hot water over seeds and soak 24 hours. Cold stratify for approximately 120 days at 40°F in a moist (not wet) medium. Sow ¼ inch deep and keep evenly moist. Protect young plants from strong winds and intense afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
