Hi,

I'm new here and thought I'd introduce myself. Pete is the name and I'm
from
Durham, England (NE).

I've liked Bonsai trees for a while now, and this Christmas was given a
kit
consisting of Australian Flowering Gum Tree and St. Joseph's Bread
Tree,
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,

Pete.

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.

Thanks Nina. Was having trouble finding info under the common name. I'll
look for ceratonia siliqua. Wonder if we got the same kit.

Peter.
