By Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Japanese Pagoda Tree 10 Seeds – Sophora – Bonsai These seeds were purchased at the beginning of August and were immediately sowed. Five were sowed in potting soil with slight acidity (as opposed to a seeding mixture) and the other five were sowed in cotton balls. The black seeds look like round beans approximately 6-7mm in diameter. In 10 days (Aug 2 – Aug 12) I noticed that all of the seeds in the cotton balls had already started germinating which was surprising because the note that was included with the seeds indicated “MAY BE SLOW GERMINATING”. I checked the ones in soil and all but one germinated. (That was probably my fault because I accidentally damaged the seed a week prior when I noticed that the husk was molding.) So of the ten seeds I received nine germinated, which is a surprising rate. I’m not an expert on Japanese Pagoda propagation so this may, in fact, be the normal success rate. The husks of the seeds in the soil all developed mold while none developed in the cotton balls. The mold did not interfere with germination but is an unsightly fuzzy, greenish mold you usually find on old bread. Here’s what the note that was included stated if anyone is wondering: With all but one seed having germinated the seeds that were sent were of excellent quality which is what Hirt’s provided. What happens with the Japanese Pagoda seedlings is now up to me. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
By Keith J. Braun “Murdoc” (Mt. Olive, NJ USA) – See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Japanese Pagoda Tree 10 Seeds – Sophora – Bonsai 9/12 seeds germinated in first 2 weeks when seeded in Jiffy 5042 Windowsill Greenhouse 24-Plant Starter Kit With J7. I never expect a 100% germination rate, and these seeds are far more responsive than I am accustomed to. There’s a certain satisfaction one derives from growing their own bonzai, and I was hoping for one or 2 trees. Looks like I’ll have some to give as gifts in a couple years.
Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Japanese Pagoda Tree 10 Seeds – Sophora – Bonsai I purchased and planted the seeds in February and after scarifying them and soaking them in water for 12 hours I planted them. In 4 days they had already begun to sprout and after 10 day all of them had sprouted! Great seeds and the seedlings look awesome! |

By Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Bonsai Survival Manual: Tree-by-Tree Guide to Buying, Maintaining, and Problem Solving (Paperback) As a new convert, I have been frustrated by most books on bonsai. They are filled with wonderful information, but the author often takes for granted that you are an experience bonsai enthusiast. Mr. Lewis does not do that. With excellent pictures and color graphics, he explains in great detail what to look for (and look OUT for!) when buying a tree, as well as detailed advice on pruning and shaping techniques. I wish I had bought this sooner. 46 of 46 people found the following review helpful:
By kloetzchen (Japan) – See all my reviews This review is from: Bonsai Survival Manual: Tree-by-Tree Guide to Buying, Maintaining, and Problem Solving (Paperback) I’ve found the advices the book gives for buying a bonsai very helpful. On the other hand it helped me and my friends understanding why we did not succeded in keeping our little trees alive. After reading the brief but thoroughly information about "trees necessities" I decided to try again and my ume(plum)-bonsai look now quite happy. 28 of 29 people found the following review helpful:
By rkroll@aol.com (San Jose, California) – See all my reviews This review is from: Bonsai Survival Manual: Tree-by-Tree Guide to Buying, Maintaining, and Problem Solving (Paperback) The Bonsai Survival Manual contains just about everything you need to know about growing and keeping Bonsai. It is well organized with sections on general care and techniques followed by sections on specific species. There is information in here that I have not seen in other books on Bonsai. The writing is terse, concise, and easy to read and understand. The Bonsai photographs show off the beauty of this art form. All in all, I found this book to be the most useful and fun to read of any Bonsai book I have read. |
