Hi from France,

Thanks a lot for sharing all of this, you always look quite happy, what we also enjoy :)

Take care, have fun.

Which pot is this

Thanks for this video - I stumbled on this after researching growing my own bonsai acacia from seed. you just beat me to it by about 4 months. I am pretty certain those are paperbark acacias - I have a few of them in my garden and they are iconic african bushveld trees. I have grown plenty of these seeds and just leaving overnight in boiling water gives me about 75% success rate. If anyone is interested - I can send them some of these seeds - I have millions in my garden!

Nice vídeo
thanks for share!
cheers from Brazil.

Where does the water in your plant room flow?

Hey how are these looking now Nigel?

Hi Nigel, where in Canada are you from? Which bonsai society? I just picked up the art/craft/hobby of bonsai last week. I got myself a juniper, Fukien tea, Chinese elm, and Hawaiian umbrella. I bought coastal redwood seeds and sequoia seeds which I will plant according to your method.
