Hi Mike, I've had it for over 12 years and haven't seen a seed or seedling
one.
They have the columnar type at the zoo and when I worked there I never saw a
seed
or seedling. They may not like our weather here enough to reproduce. I
haven't seen too many of the thread leafed varieties, but I have seen quite
a few of the columnars
at some of the nurseries.
Thanks for the info. I know that Norway Maples are trying to take over
here, but they
are still sold.
