Carissa macrocarpa er en busk hjemmehørende i det tropiske og sydlige Afrika. Den er almindeligvis kendt som Natal-blommen et er en kompakt, tornet og hurtigt voksende busk med hvide, stjerneformede og duftende blomster. Det er en populær og ret almindelig haveplante, der ofte bruges som hæk eller i nogle tilfælde som bonsai. Planten stammer fra Sydafrika, og er derfor en subtropisk plante, som ikke tåler temperaturer under 1–2 grader C. Det er nok årsagen til, at planten sjældent ses herhjemme, selv om den trives fint i drivhus eller udendørs i en krukke om sommeren på en lun, solrig plads. Den kan efterfølgende overvintres i koldhus, hvor temperaturen ikke kommer under et par plusgrader. 10 Frø i hver pakke
No ‘bloke’ would admit to owning a bonsai tree just because he liked the flowers. I know we are all supposed to have our radar tuned to ‘sensitive’ these days but bonsai, in many circles, remains a macho sort of pastime for ‘real men’. I was bought up in a place where flowers were for […]

Grappoli di glicine spandono Nell’aria un profumo inebriante Dolce ed amaro di una nostalgia Di giovinezza perduta nel colore Tenue di un viola del passato (Jalesh)
As I'm trying to reduce the number of trees in my collection, I shouldn't really be buying more, but sometimes I find the temptation impossible to resist. It doesn't help that one of my favourite places to have lunch is a little restaurant inside a nearby nursery. And when I'm there I always wander around to see if they have any suitable bonsai material. I had lunch there last Saturday and I came away with this Lonicera Nitida - a small shrub with tiny leaves. As purchased - November 2017 My only previous experience with this species was over a decade ago, a while before I joined my club. I don't remember too much about that tree except that it died unexpectedly shortly after what I believe was the second time I pruned it. It had been doing really well until then and I'm not sure what went wrong, a fact which makes me nervous about trying the species again. But at a little over $3, this one was hard to resist. The fact that the tree was so small meant that all the branches were clumped really close together, making branch selection quite difficult. I decided to keep all the low branches, removing only the secondary branches that were growing straight up. I then had to make a decision about the thin straight trunk growing close to one branch. I didn't feel I could keep both so I had to chose one as the main trunk line. Two possible trunk lines As the branch was thicker and already had a secondary branch coming off it, I decided my best option was to see whether I could successfully wire it upwards. Once I'd established that it was flexible enough to reposition where I wanted it, I removed the straight trunk. November 2017 - after first styling At this stage I started to wonder whether I should have kept one of the secondary branches I'd removed from the new leader, but what's done is done. Seeing how many little branches the tree has everywhere, I'm optimistic that some of them will soon thicken enough to give me the structure I need. Once I see what useful options present themselves, I'll cut the top back to make an even smaller tree. For now, however, I'll probably just leave it to grow. I also want to read up on Lonicera care to ensure that I'm able to keep this one alive. Updated photos of this tree can be found here.

A native of China, it is a fast growing, deciduous small tree (up to 35 feet tall at maturity) with an open, airy, umbrella-like canopy. It has a smooth trunk and gracefully arching branches. The leaves are about a foot long with feather-like foliage. The most outstanding feature of Silk Trees are its showy, fluffy pink summer flowers, which are arranged in clusters about six inches across that look like silk powder puffs. Their fragrance fills the mid-summer air and is a great attraction to hummingbirds and bees. In zone 6-11, these are great planted around homes, decks, patios and porches where they provide summertime shade. In colder climates they make wonderful potted plants for outside in summer or grow them inside year round in a full sun location. Easy from seed. Sowing instructions: Seeds need to be scarified. Place seeds in boiling water and leave to cool 24 hours. Or you can rub seeds with sandpaper or carefully nick, scrpae or chick the seedcoat with a sharp cutting utensil. Sow seeds in well drained potting soil 1/8 ' deep at 70-75 degrees. Germination 2-10 days.========= I garantee to deliver fresh viable, germination tested seeds. However, seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of my control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially, I cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes. No refunds or replacements on non germinated seeds. If you don't agree to this do not spend your money.
