Re. my Acer Palmatum Garnet is looking good in its large pot, however, I thought it seemed to be turning a brilliant red like it does in Autumn - and it's only Spring! On taking a closer look, I realised that the bright red parts were small sycamore-shaped seeds? I've never seen this before. Can anyone tell me if they are seeds or what they are please?

Hi, this variety gets small purplish flowers, followed by winged, red, fruits or seed, so yes they are seeds, Derek.

Thanks Derekm and Noseypotter! It's an odd one, as I'm always checking it (its been in its pot for 9 years now) and there has never been any flowers, fruits or seed until now. Yet to produce seeds, it must have had flowers. I must get my eyesight checked!

I wonder if I could try growing some of the seeds?
