It’s that time of year again! Bare root seedling time! Growing bonsai from seed can be extremely rewarding(if you’re young and/or have access to a place to grow in the ground).
By growing from seedling, as an artist, you have total control of what direction you want the trees to take, and it’s much easier to minimize the flaws that are common from nursery and other types if stock.
I just got my annual group of seedlings in from Matt Ouwinga, at Kaede Bonsai En, and couldn’t be happier. In the last several years I’ve been getting seedlings from Matt, my attrition rate is next to zero, and I highly recommend Matt as the place to go for bare root seedlings for Bonsai.
