This review is from: Bamboo-Leaf Japanese Maple 5 Seeds - RARE

With the other reviews I wasn't really expecting much, but I was buying different seeds from the same store and was looking for a way to justify the shipping costs by buying more than one item. The item looked like an interesting experiment and if it turned out well I had a small tree, if I didn't I was out less then $1.

Followed the instructions and pretty much saturated the soil when I first planted it, so much I was afraid I'd killed it right off but after that rocky start I set it in the sun and let the soil dry out. I didn't wait until the soil was too dried out before giving it a little more water, about two weeks later I ended with a seedling that I had to take out of direct sunlight immediately because I nearly did burn the leaves. All in all it's hard to say much until it starts growing a little more and I don't want to count it until it does. Small note, learned they're very sensitive to too much water and too little water as well as climate, they also take a little time to grow. Could be the season that let this one sprout or just luck but I'm willing to be happy with either, if nothing else it is a plant.

I'll try to keep this updated as it grows but the basic response is if you got time and a little money this is worth a shot but if you are absolutely counting on any seedlings I'd try something will grow a little easier.

Well, I got my order in. I may update this as things change. I got 8 seeds, not 5, plus a free packet of sunflower seeds. Nice. prompt service.

I can't Imagine how a reviewer could establish the seeds as 'nonviable" on first glance. But I grew up with maple trees, and I have to say these look just like the 'helicopters' that would delight me in fall. Except smaller :)

The seeds I got were clearly non viable and I threw all but one in the garbage. Terrible customer service as well. I emailed 4 times to 3 different email addresses they have posted and never got a response.
