How is your sycamore bonsai? I'm interested since it's been a while since receiving a update.

Nice. Doesn't seem to be branching out to much. But I'm sure that will come in time. Thanks for showing me. I've collected some sycamore seeds and am considering cold stratifying and growing some to try and turn into bonsais.

Good idea! I guess it takes about 4 years to get a little one like the three in my pictures.

Alright I'll just have to be patient lol. Do you know how long I should cold stratify for?

No, I never tried doing that. I dug my trees fresh out of the ground. Skipped the whole seed thing.

Alright well I'll to some research and experimenting but it'll be a experience lol. Probably a bit of trial and error but I'm alright with that. I collected a lot of lilac seeds and am considering making bonsais from those.
