[IBC] - Japanese Maple Question
Has anyone had experience in groiwng Japanes Maples indoors?
Does keeping them indoors affect the color changes during the Fall? If they have, it has been an unhappy one. Japanese maples will NOT grow indoors. The only fall color you will get is brown. Sorry.

[IBC] - Japanese Maple Question
I have over wintered cuttings under light in the basement (tridents are
even better than Japanese maples). They get a bit spindly, but then grow fine the following year. The next winter is outside since they will have good solid roots. If all you have is indoors and you want to grow A. palmatum you might be able to over winter in the refrigerator. However, this will be less than optimal and you will not be able to enjoy the fall color since the leaves will not go through the slow down necessary for the green pigments to go away while leaving the others.

[IBC] - Japanese Maple Question
I purchased a couple Japanese maple seedling this past winter as well as a
couple of Trident Maples and kept them in the house. They leafed out a couple of months ago and seem to be doing fine. I plan to move them outside in about a month. I might even leaf prune when I do. In the fall I allow the leaves to turn and fall before I bring them back in the house. They should start growing in about a month. I have done this with elms and have been successful.

Steve:
I see no reason why you shouldn't try to raise the Maples indoors. They are yours to do with as you see fit. BUT, don't be surprised if they don't make it. :-( Carl L.
