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.
