hello out there Bonsai world,
i am new to Bonsai and i am looking for a little help and maybe be pointed in the right direction. i recently ordered a package of 4 types of Maple seeds (Trident maple, Amur Maple, Japanese maple, and Acer palmatum 'Atropurpreum') i have been doing extensive reading and research on Bonsai for the past few weeks. I live on Long Island New York where i saw that maples are in the correct "zone" for growing. i am wondering if it is currently just starting summer here, when i receive the seeds should i start the process of germinating and stratifying?? Any information on this topic would be greatly appreciated, also down the road i know i am going to have to buy proper tools of the trade, if anyone has an idea of what starter tools are good to purchase please let me know. any tips or tricks will be greatly appreciated also
