Roy Bohn Guest Posts: n/a	[IBC] Root graft on Acer Plamatum Can the seedlings of Sugar Maple, of which I have hundereds, be used to root graft onto an Acer Palmatum to improve the one sided base? The J. maple base dia. is now 1 1/4". This work is planned for next spring. __________________________________________________ _______________ MSN 9 Dial-up Internet Access fights spam and pop-ups – now 3 months FREE! http://join.msn.click-url.com/go/on...1ave/direct/01/ ************************************************ ************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by John Quinn++++ ********************************************** **************************** >>-->> The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ <<--<< +++++ Questions?

Steven Wachs Guest Posts: n/a	Re: [IBC] Root graft on Acer Plamatum I do not believe A sugar maple would be used as A root stock for an Acer palmatum. The basic Green or red palmatum have pretty strong roots They naturalize well where I am on LI NY. Grafting is used to keep the Acer Palmatum Cultivators true. There several hundred cultivators of Acer Palmatum. Grafting Is the only true method of keeping each culture I collect Acer Palmatum. I have about 40 different trees.

I have read of using Sugar maple and acer rubrum, red maple. You could pose this question to the folks on The Maple Society webpage . There are some really,truley, longtime maple guys that hang out there, and I'm sure they would know. I would use small green palmatum seedlings or cuttings to do an approach graft,at root level. I have had good results in the spring, by rootpruning the tap roots or vertical roots, and wounding the area where you want roots. Apply spaghnam moss, and soil. Basicly you are setting up an air layer, or ground layer I guess. Anyway green Maples usually respond well and put out many radial roots. Hope this helps a little bit. Blue
