My guess is that you can graft it to any Acer species... or possibly just Acer Palmatum...
Here is a Japanese Maple Grafting site http://webpages.charter.net/wbshell/garden/graft1.htm Last edited by Kazuki : 4-Nov-2002 at 01:01 AM. |

If you are grafting Japanese Maples you must use Acer Palmatum(Japanese Maple) root stock. I usually try to find root stock that's about the thickness of a pencil and of course a nice healthy root system is certainly very important in your success.

If you would humor me - what is the advantage of grafting over layering? I mean with layering you get the maple growing from a pure JP maple source - so wouldn't that be preferred?
I loved the link provided - it was great! Just got me to wondering why you would do it as pictured, having 2 main branches coming off the root and being 2 types of tree. Could be a interesting affect, and I'm fairly tired right now, so I'm probably missing the 'cut off the old branch later' aspect or something, but I thought I would inquire. X A
