I guess Peter is right in saying some people may find sowing seeds for Bonsai too time consuming but I like growing from seed as I can see the growing process over the first 3 years or so, I maybe be getting on for 70 years of age and may not live long enough to see them grow to maturity as Bonsai but I can pass them on to friends or family. I can say I have had a lot of success of sowing seeds like crab apples, Japanese {Deshojo} Maples from Herons. I get a lot of pleasure when I see the seeds germinate that I have sowed.

I would love to see follow-up videos as the seeds germinate and Peter pricks them out to pot up.

Very interesting and informative post, it is 35 here and my sister in Buffalo has 7 feet of snow ... so Peter we are living vicariously through you this week. Thank you , be safe , be well.

I have had great success this year growing from seed. I have grown English oak as well as pin oaks, pride of Bolivia, Ash and Mulberry(mulberry so easy to grow they like weeds)

Ooooooooh thanks for the tutorial

I have sowed lots of crab apple seed both red and yellow and some acorns. Hopefully some if not most will germinate. I had great success last year with crab apples. I look forward to your follow up video to see what your success rate is. A great video.

This is inspiring! ❤️

Wonderful video Peter! I personally enjoy the propagation aspect of bonsai as much as I enjoy the art process! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

Great info as always…thank you

Great video as always Peter. 👍 For beginners I would however caution that although growing bonsai from seed is a great and worthwhile activity - it is not a great way of being introduced to bonsai because of the long time frames involved. There is a Greek proverb that says “a society grows great when old men plant seeds for trees under whose shade they know they will never sit.” It could be 5-10 years before your tree is sufficiently mature to begin wiring and styling for bonsai, dependent on species. I would recommend you do this alongside having more mature trees to work on while your seeds grow. Get yourself a 5 year head start and buy a nursery plant to style, or an inexpensive Chinese elm if you are a beginner, and learn to look after this and acquire other trees while you wait for your seeds to germinate and grow. 👍

Thx for sharing Peter... 👍

I love how you enjoy what you do and where you are so much , brings warmth to my heart

Hahaha! Mr Chan, you got so excited about the smell of the Quince that it looked as though you were about to turn to the camera and let us try and get a smell of it! And to be honest I naturally leand in to catch a wiff of it! Haha, good times my friend.

I had the opportunity to get China Berry seeds, could not decide from the online research if they were worth growing, or not.

hi, Peter! how are the seedlings going?

how do i do the same with yew seeds

Every wisteria I have grown from the pods grew vigorously... none ever bloomed after 10 yrs...😭😭☹️... but they grew... sigh ( Maryland near DC )

❤🌱

Can someone tell me what the bright red berries were at the beginning of the video ? Id like to get those

Can I start to seed now? It’s quite cold here in northern Ohio. Do I put them outside and cover with a plastic and wait until spring

do you have to stratify the seeds? every time I've tried doing that (using my light and cool utility room for 2 weeks and 6 weeks in my fridge), the seeds never came up. the ones I tried just putting in my window came up fine. I've only tried from dried seeds, leaving them 3 days in water before sowing, not sure if that could have something to do with it.
