Pine Beach

I just planted some Japanese black pine bonsai seeds. How long will it take for them to germinate and grow?

The seeds are planted indoors, in almost full sun. About how long will they take to germinate?

1. It will be a short period, probably a few weeks. Actually, these are not "bonsai" seeds, they are just Japanese black pine seeds. Bonsai is a style of tree. I'm sorry to say that you have been "taken." That is how some people make a living, so sad. BUT, now you can turn them into bonsai when they start growing. You may want to read the Bonsai Care page on my site: http://www.american-bonsai.com . It is much better to get a Japanese black pine bonsai from a nursery and start trimming it to become a bonsai someday. Even better are mugho pines because their needles are shorter.
