Seedlings 101

I'm really interested in finding more information on the entire process of growing bonsai from seedlings. I'd love to find some online reference/tutorial somewhere that can show me stages. Maybe we need a chat about this?

Most importantly I want to know how to find seeds/planting material. My Junipers dont seem to have seeds. How do I create junipers from seeds?

I want to know what steps I can take before planting the seeds to enhance their success.

I also want to know what steps I can take when planting the seeds to make them more suitable as bonsai later.

What steps should I be taking when they start to sprout.

And finally when they start to get a bit of a basic tree form, what steps can I take (and when) to ensure good trunk shape later on?


Looking around my city (Seoul, Korea) I see a lot of huge tall trees, some smaller ones. But they also seem to go straight up and dont appear to have any interesting trunk line whatsoever.

I'd love if someone could point me to as much information regarding this as possible. Information about growing from cuttings would also be just as useful.


(PS - I see the Bonsai Propogation forum down below but I seem unable to create this thread there - is this normal? In any case, could I maybe get some exposure in this, the general forum, before my thread is moved to a less-trafficked area of the site? Just a small request, no big deal Treebay/mods)
