    Never grown one before in my life but I got some Bonsai seeds in the Secret Santa at the cactus club :)

    I damped the seed and put them in a plastic bag with some tissue in the fridge for a week (Tetters was furious :eek:) Then put them somewhere warm for another week.

    First one has germinated :)

    What is the type of seed jack pine? Most likely a small evergreen. However , just about any plant can be root trimmed ,grown in tiny containers ,wired limbs ,using tiny tools with an eye and talent for art.

    I always had a fascination with Bonsai, but never could find the time or patience to try.. I’ve seen some excellent bonsai at the bonsi exhibitions held at the Japanese garden.. Absolutely mind boggling… they are an amazing work or art.

    One of the parents that I worked with use to grow them, he use to bring a few in to show me. I found it fascinating when he use to explain the procedure, a lot of patience is required but the results are well with it.
