William,
* When we do seeds we talk about success in terms of how many seeds sown wil germinate per 100. *Many seed companies list these percentages. *To start say 5 or 10 seeds just don't give you you very good odds , ya know...
* If I could go back in time and tell my self something it would be don't spend a couple of years dinking around with seeds! *Get some good bonsai books and find a good old fashioned nursery you can hang out in. *Use tried and true bonsai type material from nursery stock, train it in nursery containers and buy alot and have fun. *Don't spend alot on finished trees or inported junk from taiwan, republic of china!
* Now do the right thing...
