When is the best time to harvest Red Maple seeds?
Answers:
Most Japanese Maple seeds ripen in the fall. Watch the tree and wait for the seeds to turn brown. The seeds are ready to be harvested when they are brown and can be easily removed from the tree.

When you see them falling off the tree. Maple seeds have that tell-tale wing that lets the seeds "helicopter" down to the ground.
I had planted mine after they had fallen from the tree last fall directly into the ground where I wanted them and now they are 1 foot tall! natures way is the best if the squirrels don't get the seeds first.
