both to grow from seed.

I'll probably be here asking questions, some probably stupid, please bear
with me ;-)

Is there a group FAQ I can read before I ask the same questions that have
been answered since the beginning of time?

Thanks,

Hi Pete,
My husband and I got an Australian Flowering Gum Tree and St. Joseph's Bread Tree for Christmas too. We have shoots from the gum tree but weren't sure how to germinate the St. Joesph's bread at first although we found its latin name ceratonia siliqua and discovered it needs to start life in the fridge! Hope we can keep our toddler away from it for long enough to get shoots.Let us know how your trees are going. Nina.
