Seed
So, I've been lightly reading & researching. Decided to go the slow way, and collected 3 saplings from my yard. American maple, red maple, and I think the third is a red oak.
I have trimmed the taproot on the oak. The 2 maples' roots aren't very deep. They are in a 50/50 mix of perlite & sphagnum moss & inside a greenhouse right now (just had a lot of heavy storms, planning on letting them grow outside as much as possible)
Am renting my house currently, so don't really want to plant them in the ground.
I guess my plan is now to let them acclimate to being in pots, fertilize them lightly, mist them daily, and leave them be until fall. Sound like a good plan?
