I can vouch for that, altough not all trident maple seedling grow fast, I had a few that are promising. One particulary has really short internodes and grow very fast. After germination in june, the seedling is now 4 feet high with internodes every 3/4 inch, and girth of trunk is 3/8 - 1/2 inch thick.
This is what I like to do with seedling. Sow alot of them, and keep only the promising one. The one with good bonsai characteristics.
I also like to sow, japanese maple, green and red, as the color of foliage can sometime vary from the original color. Very fun.
Thanks
