Can I Plant 2 Small (2ft) Japanese Maples In The Same Hole And Have Them Grow Together?

Question

These are very small 3” potted bloodgood maples

Answer 1

Bloodgood maples grow from 15 to 20 feet and probably would not do well grown together. I suspect there would be a lot of branches crossing and touching.

Most Japanese maples are grafted so I am wondering if the 3 inch starts are grown from seed. If so, and the tree was grafted, you may get something different from 'Bloodgood.' Here is more on its care:
