Hi you all, sorry if i'm in the wrong discussion but i DO need your advice. I've only recently got into the Bonsai scene but always had the interest in these incredible trees. Right i bought what looks like a zelkova from a big name diy store. It looked great until i bought a couple of books. Then i noticed that the trunk was'nt secure in the pot. There was an ugly swellin at the base of the trunk. And it had been cut severely and looked unnatural. So i chose to feed it well for 4 weeks and then pruned it right back and i might use it for raw material in future. But back to the main question. I have decided to buy seeds and they have been delivered! Iv got 10 of silver maple (acer saccharinum) 5 of japanese zelcova(zelkova serrata) 10 of japanese black pine (pinus thunbergii) 10 of chinese elm (ulmus parvifolia) 10 of temple juniper(juniperus rigida) i need advice on whats the best techniques on succesful germination, summer has just started (if that helps?) i know it takes a long time but i love a challenge! Any advice greatfully appreciated. Thanx Damien, south wales, uk
