Thanks Tony!! I've found the address for a Bonsai shop thats near me and I'm going to take a trip down there on Saturday, see if they sell younger trees ready to train.
I am going to plant the seeds, although you have to do a lot to them before you can even plant them! Soak for 24 hours....then cold stratify (?) for 7 days in refridgerator..I'll give it a go though, can't do any harm
I've been having a look through this website and others, and having been looking about 'wiring' the tree's to train them. If I get a young tree at the weekend, should I wire it straight away or will it still be too young??
