you would probly be better of buying some cheap starter seedlings mate, the hard work is done, save you alot of time.
surely most nurseries would have them, they do where i live anyway. the seedlings not the seeds

The user "deminimus" on eBay has them listed under "Bonsai Items" in their eBay store:
http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/Australi ... ec0Q2em322

I've not used them personally yet, but they seem to have a good range, and at least one other user on AusBonsai recommended them to me.

he has an excellent record but im not sure mason would be able to get stuff on ebay, would have to ask mum for that one mate.
i havent used him either but have considered getting maple and elm seeds from him.
so if and when i do i will let ya know. but like i said he has an exellent record.

I think it was deminimus that told me fig seeds must be fresh to germinate so be extra carefull. I have never got any to germinate :( Yet I have success with most others.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
