Where To Find Japanese Maple Grafts???
Hi,
I am attempting to begin my own business buying and selling Japanese Maples. I have found someone that is providing me with these for £6.50, but she has only a limited number of varieties. Does anyone know where in the UK i can get small grafted Japanese Maples for minimum and/or wholesale price? Any help would be great! Kind Regards, Antony P.S. I've am growing on seeds now for grafting in the future, but even then, i need to buy all the varieties in order to get selling efficiently. This is a future plan, but for now, i need the above! |

Good luck, it's a tough business. The best quality young grafts available come from http://www.dvandermaat.com/ Another source is http://www.esveld.nl, that is where the maples they sell at Wisley come from. Both these sources work industrially and can provide you with any quantities. Graft quality and understock quality is equally important. Those easy to germinate, fast growing Sango kaku seeds will not necessarily make good understock as they are quite susceptible to pseudomonas infection, for example. There is no such thing as "all the varieties" as there are well over 1000 and "new" ones are appearing all the time. You could contact the Maple Society for information if anyone in the UK is producing a large number of grafts, or Karan Junker (Junker Nursery) or James Harris (Mallet Court Nursery), both in Taunton, would be able to tell you. |

You could do worse than visit The National Plant show the HTA National Plant Show website. It's a trade show but you might make contacts there. David |
