The other thing that should be mentioned is this - true Japanese maple cultivars are never grown from seed. True cultivars are genetic clones of the parent, and are usually grafted from cuttings. All cultivars have seeds, which will usually sprout, I assume, but they generally will not have the characteristics of the parent cultivar.
