Hi,
Back during the winter and early spring months, I went thru the long drug out process of stratifying some seeds from my red cut leaf Japanese Maple.

I had already decided they had long enough and I was going to give them just 1 more week before I dumped them with their sand and potting soil mixture into the compost pile, well today I saw 2 little sprouts. Do these look like Japanese Maples to you guys or are they only weeds?
