New Here, Hello
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. |
Pete: There are no stupid questions, only foolish assumptions.
I have two suggestions in response to your request. First, yes, the IBC has a pretty fair FAQ at its web site. The address of that site is automatically placed at the bottom of each post on this list, but for your added convenience, here's the link to the FAQ: http://internetbonsaiclub.org/faq/ My second suggestion is for you to find a local bonsai club, because some of your questions will be best addressed by those familiar with your local needs, such as climate and resources. You can probably find a nearby club or two at the FoBBS site at: http://www.ukbonsai.org/member_societies.html Alan Walker http://bonsai-bci.com http://LCBSBonsai.org -----Original Message----- From: Peter Hi, I'm new here and thought I'd introduce myself.

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. |

we found its latin name Ceratonia siliqua and discovered it needs to start life in the fridge! BRBR St. Joseph's bread? I thought it belonged to St. John. I have germinated carob seeds. I don't believe they need to be stratified. However, they are very susceptible to damping off.

I'll look for ceratonia siliqua. Wonder if we got the same kit. Peter. |
