There is a Japanese Maple tree that grows in the yard of an abandoned church across from our house. It's so beautful, and even moreso in the Fall, when its burgundy red leaves turn crimson! I'd like to know when is the best time to pick the the "helicopter" seeds-- or should I pick them up in the Fall after they've fallen off? When is the best time to plant them? How many should I plant together? How far from our house, and other trees, should I plant it? How long til it sprouts?
I'm looking for as much information as I can get about growing a Japanese Maple tree from seed. Thanks for any help you can give! :)

There is a lot of information on planting japanese maples from seed on the internet. A Yahoo search for "japanese maple propagation" (include the quotation marks in the Yahoo search box) yields 958 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek.
Good luck with your search.

The seeds are produced in the spring. At that time collect and plant them. They should start growing in a few weeks.
