About what we call Bonsai Seeds
The question we will answer in this story is: Do bonsai seeds exist? The answer is NO. There is no such thing as bonsai seeds. However, tree seeds exist. Let me explain.
You can not plant a seed "supposed bonsai "and expect to grow a bonsai masterpiece. At most, you get a tree in a pot, which is equivalent to the literal translation of the Japanese word "bonsai". In addition, a single stick in a pot will not pay tribute to the great fine art long Japanese is bonsai. Like many forms of art, design rules exist. These rules and techniques to implement them will keep a dwarf tree and to appear like a miniature tree across from him due to what we call a Bonsai.
Therefore, if there no bonsai seeds, the seeds should I buy? The answer is: all the seeds of trees. In fact, all seeds advertised as "seed bonsai "are only seeds of trees. If you plant them, do not use proper techniques and give the tree an opportunity to mature, it becomes a tree similar to those found on your street or park. With few exceptions, such as deformation DNA in the nucleus of the seeds and malformation in the growth process, all seeds are tree seeds.
However, some seeds will produce dwarf trees, even if they are of the same species. These seeds come from a plant affected by a type of fungus called "Apiosporina collinsii "which will tackle the genetics of seeds. This new genetic code will be reproduced in the seed. We must inform you that these trees genetically changed rarely produce seeds, so they are quite rare. In English, they are called "Witch broom" and "Yatsubusa" in Japanese. Yatsubusa, which means eight (8) buds, refers to the very compact growth habit of these plants. For reasons previously mentioned, the best method to obtain a Yatsubusa is to propagate cuttings rather than seeds.
In conclusion, we can write "bonsai seeds" being at most, the seeds of tree species sought after by lovers of bonsai. Mishobonsai.com is to provide seed tree the species you prefer to grow as bonsai. Should we be able to acquire seed producing characteristics very specific, such as dwarfness, they will be sold in specialty buy section Shop.
