Two I am watching closely are two of the least attractive. In these picts they are #6 and #7. Number 6 has a notable indent on the leaves like a clover leaf. I hope it keeps this but it may not. In fact I am to guess it will not. Number 7 is such a tiny little plant with tiny leaves.Are these all from the same parent tree?
I think this picture alone is a good learning example for those who post here for help identifying cultivars.A few notables.

It depends on where you are buying them... the few places I know that sell seedlings in 1 gal cans charge between 35-45 per tree. MrMaple (only one, a small momiji) and Brent included in that list. I rather buy from Brent anytime, I have nothing but great service every time I order from him.1 gallon seedling might sell for $8, whereas a 1 gallon cultivar might sell for $25 - $50.
I planted 400 eBay seeds and 50 germinated. They were planted in the fall in an outdoors seedbed. I gave 400 to a friend who planted them in flats and he had none germinate.What did you do to start the seed?
None of the seeds were from Seiryu but I have had a couple from Seiryu that do look like the parent. My Seiryu is loaded with seeds this year and it has never done this before despite the fact in is 30 years old and 20 feet tall. I am planning to do an entire grow bed from this tree this fall.his looks very similar to my rooted cuttings of Acer Palmatum ‘Seiryu’ and my best guess would be that this is a seedling of seiryu,
very interesting, do you know what parent cultivar the seed came from? It’ll be interesting to see other characteristics in the future such as weeping vs upright habbitNone of the seeds were from Seiryu but I have had a couple from Seiryu that do look like the parent.

I have that group tagged and its raining right now but I will check in the next couple of days. I believe its a weeper.Very
