As Paperbark maple is quite difficult to grow from seeds (parthenocarpy), what would be the best rootstock to use for grafting ? I read that Acer saccharum* or even pseudoplatanus could be compatible with griseum. Do you have any sources that can confirm these informations ? What about negundo which also have trifoliate leaves even if it does not belong to trifoliata (maples classification) ? * "The reference manuel of woody plant propagation" - Acer griseum - Paperbark maple For best results, A. griseum shoul be grafted on seedling A. griseum. The other trifoliate maples, according to some, do not serve at suitable understocks. Works in Holland indicated the grafts were successful for 2 or 3 years but eventually failed . Senior author and cohorts budded A. griseum on A. saccharum in August with 40% success. The budded stock was dug, brought into the green house and grew 18 to 30 " the first three months. One commercial grower grafts A. griseum on A. saccharum but long terme prospects are open to question. Senior author has two of these grafted trees in his garden. A conspicuous bulge is noticeable at union (A. saccharum in twice diameter of A. griseum)."
for the moment i have this informations about propagation of Griseum ,i read in this link http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/lppi/index.htm .....
This is interesting. Acer grieum seems fairly readily available, and mine does not appear to have a graft union. I know they are very difficult to propagate from seed.
i have griseum x peseudoplatanus ,in this forum there is a good number of pics and good number of informations by Gomero.
