I don't believe you can. or I've never heard of anyone using sugar
Maple on acer palmatum. 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.
