Re: seed help please


Maple acers grow HUGE!!! I have one in my front garden. However it's very, very slow-growing as I've had mine 6 years and it's only about 15 ft!!

Larches are big too - but I don't know whether they grow quickly or not.

Re: seed help please


You could have bought them thinking of turning them into bonsai trees? I know there are maples. Also, I have very little knowledge of bonsai.

Re: seed help please


They do both seem to be used in Bonsai. I've sent you a link for one of the pages I found.
