so, what are these trees like? where are they local to? iv got a lot of seelings on the go, i have many years left in bonsai so ive got plenty of time to watch them grow and develop them how i want too. Ive got this brilliant method for getting seeds to germinate, and somehow it always works. here goes...

i brought a cheap(ish) plastic propagator, drilled some holes in the bottom and filled it with compost. then, i bung in as many seeds as i have at the time. and then i wait.

i usually set it up around this time of year, repotting those which have grown and recycling the compost from previous years incase any of the seeds are taking their time. i get a good yield this way, more than i know what to do with!
