Posted 10 months 2 weeks ago #84006We were in Amsterdam the day the elm trees dropped their seeds. It was sort of like snow ; there were large drifts of elm seeds blowing across the sidewalks.? Well, 5 or 6 centimeters seemed large.
I grabbed a handful. When i got home 8 or 9 days later i stuck them in some soil and none sprouted.? I looked up elm seeds and found they were viable 2-3 days.
It seems neat to grow a seed into a 50 year old tree. It is probably better to let nature grow the seeds, see which survive after a couple of years, and use them.
Or, if what you want is a 50 year old tree, find a 10 year old tree. Then you only have to wait 40 years.

There are evegreen trees all over the world. Very few of them can be grown indoors. All of them should be outdoors in summer.

Posted 10 months 1 week ago #84013All trees that brussel bonsai lists as indoor trees is evergreens. Not that I think many of them will survive more than a year indoors. But anyway, All are evergreen trees.
