However, make sure you have a good look around on there, as you do get sellers putting a premium on the seeds by calling them "bonsai seeds" with the aim of suckering in those who know no different. This of course is absolute crap. No tree seed is a special bonsai seed. It is just the fact that certain tree species lend themselves particularly well to the art. Seedrack is an online store that sells seeds in the US and Canada, so have a look there too and do a quick price comparison. Hope that helps. Regards, Aaron

I have also found Ebay to be pretty reliable. Make sure the person has PLENTY of feedback, read through the feedback also.

Check out FW Schumacher, treeshrubseeds.com. These are professional seed suppliers and completely reputable. Brent EvergreenGardenworks.com bonsai@pacific.net
