I have started some jap. black pines from seed. I also want to do some not so traditional trees so i've planted orange and apple seeds that have just started to sprout. On the other hand i've bought from a nursery a juniper. I had a friend give me a pine (species unknown) that he collected from the wild. My point is many people utilize many different ways to obtain their bonsai. I think my personal favorite will be collecting from wild, after all that's how the chinese started it! Do what you do and do it well. Keep us posted!
