Hello!

Just so it's out of the way; the species of seeds I'm going to order are prunus serrulata, acer palmatum and cercidiphyllum japonicum

Okay, so I'm going to order my first sets of seeds for my first bonsai. I've always wanted to grow my own bonsai from seeds, but I'm unsure about how I should proceed. I know I have to stratify the seeds, but I also know that I can plant the seeds and leave them out over winter. The only thing I'm worried about is if it's maybe too cold here to leave outside. I live in South-East Norway where temperatures can swing between -15-0 degrees celcius in the winter. Can I still leave the seeds planted outside for winter?

Bonus question: If I were to order seeds today, is there some way I could store them without "killing" them until autumn comes?

Don't buy them now. Buy them in fall, when they are fresh. Now you will get older seeds.

You can leave the seeds outside. IF seeds need stratification, they do not mind edep frost.

Aaah, thank you so much! I feel more assured now When in fall is the best time to buy seeds do you think? September? October? November, even?

I think I'm going to harvest a small specimin of scots pine and/or aspen (populus tremula) to work on while I'm waiting. Just so I can satisfy my need for something to do while I'm waiting

Well... you're in Norway, right ?

I sure do Thanks for the link! Magne I'll go and get some simple pots from the store for now and go and dog up some trees.
