  This must be one of the best video&apos;s from Herons I have watched about Maples in a long time although I did hear Peter say that Deshojo Maples can be hard to grow from seed but I have bought Deshojo seeds from Herons on two occasions, the last was in late 2023 and on both occasions I have had from 98-100 % germination rate so these seeds are worth buying from Herons as they are fresh picked at the right time of year and is much better than just buying &nbsp;from some sites on the internet that may be questionable at best.

  I&apos;d like to have the slogan from this video at 17m:52s on a Heron&apos;s tee shirt saying &quot;Look at the nebari on that!&quot;

  This video is great. I agree growing those maples from seed is so easy. I tried after one of your videos. There&apos;s a Japanese maple in a local park. I picked seeds from that tree three times in autumn. I put them in a pot and let them outside all winter. You can get hundreds of seedlings from a hand full of seeds. It&apos;s really fun. While I admire the big old trees I found that growing trees from seed is what I enjoy most. I only bought very few trees and never enjoy them as much as the ones I grew myself. It does take a long time but I came to enjoy even the very young trees. The maples already look great after two years.

  Thank you Peter for the education on growing Japanese maple bonsai. Now I know what to do with all my maple seeds. I growing them on the ground first to produce a thicker trunk quicker and then pot them in a large pot. <br><br>Just bought some seeds on a white willow tree, let hope it will germinate, <br>fingers crossed. I never seen a white willow tree before so I decided to bit the bullet and see what happened.<br><br>Take care and stay healthy, Peter, and thank you for the lecture on Japanese Maple.🙏🙏🙏
