Don’t bother buying these seeds – they’ll likely never germinate. The method they suggest is pretty standard, but only if the seeds are fresh. I’ve grown about a dozen or so bonsai before, and coincidentally the 2 sets of seeds that i bought from this seller are the ONLY ones that have a 0% germination success rate. That means it’s very likely that they’re using really old seeds that are either dead/dying or just low quality. Don’t waste your time.

This isn’t the first time I’ve attempted to grow a bonsai from seed, and I’ve been successful every other time. Despite having some experience in this, I followed the included directions exactly, even where they differed slightly from my typical process. The result is a moldy mess of dirt and no sprouts—because, well, the seeds are molded too. I can’t say for sure if the seeds were viable and just needed a different process or if they would have failed regardless, but I don’t think I would recommend this for beginners in either case.

Nice little kit, easy to follow instructions haven’t started my project yet but it looks like it’s going to be a good time.

It came with three seeds. Followed the instructions to the letter and not one of them produced anything. I know it’s hard to expect all seeds to sprout but when they only give you three you don’t have much of a chance

My seeds never sprouted I’ve followed the instructions to a T. I watched several videos before I purchased just so I would know everything in case of success. Sadly no success. I should’ve known by the reviews that it was a long shot.

I followed all instructions including those for cold stratification and the seeds haven’t germinated after weeks.

bought this as a project for my daughter and I. We followed the directions that claimed fast(ish) results and still haven’t gotten a sprout.

Put them in the fridge for recommend time as intructed, but they have been outside for a while now and nothing has happened. Where as another species which was handled similarly to the cherry blossom have all sprouted and are growing well.

I bout this one here on Amazon and another at the Flight 93 Memorial for a red maple tree from the same company and not one seed has sprouted from either set! The Bonsai tree set has been going for three months now and NOTHING! The Red Maple kit has been going for two months ( start to finish following all directions) and still nothing there either! not worth the money.
