I have mature Japanese maple trees in my yard that are extremely fertile. I find dozens, if not hundreds of saplings all over the yard. Some have even grown several feet tall. Is there a way I can properly cultivate these saplings so that I can give them away and maybe even sell them?

    I wish they would self-seed in the UK! I'm sure you would have no difficulty selling them here, where they are pretty expensive..

The following page has some information on Japanese Maple seedlings and saplings, although it is mainly about seed,grafting, and cuttings:

We have a similar problem with elms. Although I've left a volunteer to grow, I usually let the lawn mower get the rest, and physically pull them out of plant pots.
