How do I go about getting good seeds? I’m very interested? I’m a year one bonsai guy. Been doing allot of research! I’ve got a 6mo jacaranda from seed from a kit that’s doing great and alfras from clippings, junipers, some willow and bulgiveria.
Any site. Or tips on Woker to go to get Fresh in season seeds ive read and been told it makes all the difference! And Advice? Thanks

I’ve purchased from a few different stores on eBay. Had some never germinate, but ‘omcstart’ has been reliable (and cheap). I always purchase late fall/early winter so I have time to stratify if needed.

I will also give some unsolicited advice that seeds/cuttings are a long game, and if it is your first year, I’d look for something that you could work on near term. I can give more specific recommendations if you are interested. Good luck!

I'd happily pay for some of those, like the rough bark maple. With such a complete list I don't think I've got anything you don't already have. My bald cypress crop failed and I got scammed trying to buy more seeds to plant this season. I have coral Bark Maple and Sabina Juniper that I could take cuttings from.
I'd love a couple Coral Bark seedlings.

I have nothing to trade, but have $.

Let me know what you'd be willing to do.

Thank you

I have been growing trees from seed for the last four to five years. I usually plant all the seed in the packet and end up with multiple seedlings of each species. In addition, I have purchased some saplings and pre-bonsai in multiples just in case I kill the tree species I’m interested in owning. The following list was quickly compiled so, I may have accidentally listed a species twice. I’m sure there are a few I overlooked also so, if there is something you don’t see listed, please ask. At the risk of looking completely insane, here goes . . .
