I'm absolutely new. This is my first attempt to even research bonzai.

I have some Dwarf Ponciana seeds that I would like to grow into a bonzai and wondered how I would go about it. But I didn't see it listed in your species list. So now I'm wondering if it is even possible. I have 14 seeds that I intend to split with a friend who is also interested in this project. I choose these seeds because the non-dwarf variety had a shape that I thought would look great in miniature. I know it's tropical. Please tell me all the things I need to know or where to go to find out.

Here is a guide on how to grow seedlings.

Bonsai, not bonzai

Would I still plant it in the fall if it is tropical and I'm in zone 7 and cannot put it outside to germinate because the stratification would kill it?

heres is a good link with info you need. they are a zone 9 plant so it wont take freezing. maybe indoor bonsai material
