AusBonsai

Hi all!!

I have Euonymus Alatus seeds , or Burning Bush.

I'm not sure how to grow these....
Do I need to soak? Put in fridge or can just plant them.

Seeds were bought online and we're given to me by a friend.

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks

Hi Yamadorikid, mate a google search will probably give you a better result . I have had numerous Elata as pre bonsai trainers from 10-60mm trunks and they don't make for good bonsai . They have a habit of major die back over winter so all your hard work is lost .

The seeds have a tendancy to rot if planted in winter or in wet soil so i would plant them in early spring . Stratification shouldn't be necessary however in saying that if you have enough simply try both stratified and not .

The European burning bush used as Bonsai in Europe is Europaea not Elata which is the more compact shrub and doesn't have the die back issue as the Elata has .

Thanks for that Alpineart,

yes ill try both and see how they go....i have nothing to lose and only more trees to gain....

sydney weather is quite warm so im not sure if ill wait untill spring to plant as im quiet wager to plant these...
