Kim,
Words written on the interenet come to us without the
inflections of voice. This has some harsh sounding
words sounding worse than ever intended.
If you want to grow bonsai from seed, it is best to be
a young person, it takes a long time. Most of us you
see corresponding regularly are not quite young enough
to consider starting from seed. Yet, this is the best
way to have total control over your creation.
One of the charactieristic of the Zelkova is it's
smooth bark. Prize trees show no blemishes or scars,
if scars, very intereting ones. They grow slow.
Growing trees to become bonsai is different than
getting a tree and styling it for bonsai. The good
thing about seedlings is that you can mess with the
roots early on for good placement, and that you can
begin shaping the trunk instead of being stuck with
what you get.
My attempts at seeds about 20 years ago where that the
birds and squirrles interfered too much, so I gave up.

Hello everyone, My name is Kim and I just ordered
some japanese
zelkova bonsai seeds. Please don't nobody say
anything bad to me
because my feelings get hurt real easy. I only ask
this because I
read through a couple of postings and thought some
people were a
bit rude. I was a little afraid to post but I am
very interested
in the bonsai because they are very beautiful little
trees and I
would like a place to ask questions and read what
other people
have to say about different aspects of bonsai
growing.
Ok, as I began saying, I just ordered some Japanese
zelkova
bonsai seeds. I would like to know if anyone has
experience with
this tree?
I have already made this post kinda long so I will
post questions
in another post if anyone can give me any info on
how to grow and
train this type of bonsai.
Thanks, Kim
