1. Is that how they start?

is the black thing the tree?

I have always loved the look of those, but I sure dont have the patience to do anything like that.

2. The black thing is a plastic cap to prevent the gravel from exiting the

drain hole.

I haven't decided what tree to try to grow,
I just wanted to get some turf started.

:hi:

3. oh, I wondered how long it was going to take

to grow that tree from a seed. Will you find an already growing young tree then?

4. Shoot, does that mean I have to hold my breath that long?

Just kidding!

Very cool that you are doing this.

I've always wanted to learn how to grow bonsai.

5. I have two

One is a serissa that is 3 years old. It puts out little pink flowers in the spring, very pretty and easy to care for.
Looks like this:


The other is a fig that I just bought in early spring.

Even though they say they are easy I never had luck keeping a juniper alive.
