Positive on the plant, neutral on Dave's plantfile.
The plantfile repeated what I knew from Horticulture Magazine. However, besides grafting, Acer pseudosieboldianum can also be raised from seeds. I've purchased 25 grams for 30 euros from B&T World Seeds. I came to Dave's to try and determine if they needed cold stratification, scarification, or anything else esoteric.

OK ! You have sold me on a Korean Maple, I live in Northern,WI and have taken my Japanese Maples from Chicago with me when I moved and they are just barely hanging on.

I agree with Mike and Todd. Great little tree. The ones I've worked with seem to be slow growing and tend to have alot if tip dieback in the heart of Minneapolis.
The color and form, however, is awesome. Should definately be planted more frequently.
Have found two seedlings while working around two trees... doesn't seem like there is a threat of invasiveness.

I would recommend this tree to anyone who longs for that elusive, hardy, Japanese Maple. This Japanese maple look-alike will fill that barren spot that has been sitting empty, waiting for a hardy Japanese maple cultivar to be introduced on to the market.
This tree has done very well growing on the northern edge of USDA zone 4a (-20°F to -30°F). The fall color has been outstanding and the leaves have stayed, in color, on the tree for at least two weeks so far. The color has become much redder as time has gone by.
And if the fall color isn't enough, the new foliage in the spring has a red tinge to the edges of the foliage.

Korean Maple is a wonderful substitute to a Japanese Maple for those who live in zone 4. Foliage is very similar to a Japanese Maple but is only green. In the autumn, however, foliage turns pumpkin orange! Spectacular!
