Good Seeds? was created by amir

Posted 12 years 6 months ago #2339
Hello All,

I have loved plants (and growing them) my whole life,
But just recently i started to learn about Bonsai.

This autumn will be my first time of seeds planting and i wanted your advice
in choosing the right seeds.
The right seeds for me are those easy to grow :)

Israel has a Mediterranean weather; hot summer, mild winter and not a lot of rain but some.
I will grow my bonsai outside, in my northern balcony, so we are talking about a half day (or less) of direct sun.

It will be very helpful for me to read your recommendations.

Thanks,

Amir.

Im in the northern hemisphere, Ontario Canada so my seed recommendations wouldnt be of much use to you, however I have had excellent luck with purchases of seed from this company sheffields.com/

My best general advice would be to research species that can grow in your climate then search for the seeds.

good luck!

Hello Amir,

Welcome to the forum...so glad you could join us! :cheer:

I am also from Ontario (South/Central), Canada. I agree with *Artmyth's* advice to research plants from your climate. Also you could try to find bonsai enthusiasts in your area or even a Bonsai Club. Here is a list of some world-wide clubs from our site: www.bonsaiempire.com/bonsai-clubs/blog or you could try google for bonsai clubs in your area. Hope this helps! Please let us know how you make out. :)

Hi Amir,

It's me again. I got doing a little searching and managed to find this: ibonsaiclub.forumotion.com/t227-israel-bonsai-society which I found listed in the BCI-Bonsai Clubs International...here is the BCI website if you wish to do any more searches: www.bonsai-bci.com/ . Also, here is the BCI's facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/Bonsai-Clubs-Inte...nal/212170832144068/

Hope this helps! ;)
