I've seen this done on Fruit trees, but has anyone ever done it with Japanese Maples? Would love to try and graft different colored varieties onto a bloodgood if possible.
Good evening A, I have seen one sold last year at a garden centre, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was called. So yes maples have had different scions from different trees grafted to one rootstock.
Certainly possible. I have chip budded cultivars onto a larger maple tree to ¨hold¨ until I had more rootstock. Be interesting to see what you can create
Sounds to me like an abomination. Just because something CAN be done, doesn't meant that it SHOULD be done.
Not my cup of tea either..but love is in the eye of the beholder... Rather than creating Frankenstein’s monster you could pot two complementary cultivars up in a suitably shaped and sized pot. I once potted up a green viridis with a red crimson queen and it looked very effective..until the viridis suddenly croaked it one winter!
Just thought I would add A, that although it's not for me, I didn't want to put you off in any way. You never know, you might create something amazing.
