Growing On Acer Seedlings

Question

I have a beautiful Coral Bark Maple in my garden and have noticed just recently some tiny seedlings sprouting in between paving stones. Is there any way I can pot them up and encourage them to grow stronger and then hopefull last the next winter?

You can, but as an open pollinated seedling you will not expect it to resemble the parent. These articles will help:
