    Hi,

    I grew a tray of silver maple seeds this year for the first time. There's a very wide variation: some are not very dissected, some resemble the mother tree (Laciniatum Wieri) and some are dissected almost to the petiole. The less dissected the stronger growing they are, generally.

    Some really look like x freemanii, what is the chance of my getting quite a few of these? I do have both red and silver maples in the garden.
