You are so welcome, Soobeth. I'm sure everyone will keep you in mind when we see what germinates in the spring. I always have cherries, in several varieties, and they will be coming your way.

Thanks alice yes please

Soobeth, have you tried planting acorns, conkers and sycamore seeds? They all grow really easily, and any tree or shrub can be given the bonsai treatment.

I even did it to some cabbage seedlings this year which I left behind the greenhouse and forgot - they were alive and growing, but very small cos they were totally pot-bound

If you haven't got already Soobeth, I can give you ash, alder, rowan, birch (probably silver birch, but you never know for sure with birch never can read the writing on the packet) and hopefully larch. I had a friend who once had a bonzai larch. Some trees look a wee bit silly with big leaves and tiny trunk and branches (horse chestnut wouldn't be good I don't think, leaves are up to 40 cm long )...but just a normal larch tree kept in a tiny pot on the windowsill, turned out really well. I had a tiny conifer that was really nice as a minature Xmas tree too, one year.
The only thing is, I don't know how to PM you. Is there a button here somewhere ? Or would you like to email me with your snail mail address ?

Thanks LJ ! I know it's a bit dodgy giving out email addresses on forums, I was hoping that the moderator would know whether my modification was sufficient to protect me here !
One of these days I will get around to learning all this technobabble...

[Lesley Jay]

Snohare the forum can be read by anyone from around the world not just members that is why I removed your email address.
