Is there a way to take a piece from my Japanese maple
and grow roots to replant somewhere else?
Cecil Chau, North Babylon
With the cost of trees, especially Japanese maples, I don't blame you for trying to be creative. Unfortunately, many Japanese maple cultivars are grafted, and I haven't heard of any successful outcomes from attempts to propagate them from cuttings. Vincent Simeone, a horticulturist and director of Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park in Oyster Bay, says that as long as you are working with a straight species, they can be propagated by seed.
