Just be aware there is no such thing as a 'bonsai seed' - just seed for trees commonly used as bonsai.

Yeah sorry, they had a selection of bonsai species and were selling seeds, some said 'no import to australia', the tridents didn't have any such warning, so should they pass customs okay?

You can buy 50 seeds on eBay for $3 with $1 or so postage. So two packs about the same as the US one without the bother of customs etc.

This site is American, have you had any issues with customs at all? I notice they sell a few different types of maples, that I haven't seen available in Australia. What seeds have you bought successfully from this site?

There are plenty of AUSTRALIAN sites that sell seed on ebay. Support Australian businesses unless you can't source it locally :aussie: I have bought seed from 3 different stores with minimal hassles. I recommend ALL YOU NEED IS SEED and http://stores.ebay.com.au/Australiana-P ... eed?_rdc=1
