Black Locust Tree (Robinia Pseudoacacia)

Now this is an interesting one, haven't been able to find any stunning examples of Bonsai versions of this. Leaf structure is very interesting and the pods/flowers are quite delicate and beautiful.




No stratification required so already planted them out.


A 24 hour soak in hot water, they bloat nicely once they're "ready", probably the most visible change of any of the seeds I've seen so far...


Unfortunately forgot to take any photos once they bloated, got a bit carried away with the plantings and other distractions...




The trees are interesting, though Bonsai photos have been hard to find...




Though the adult versions are much more interesting, maybe something i'll be able to replicate (especially the bark):

    I just purchased 10 seedlings from coldstream nurseries in Michigan. I am quite excited to get them growing. They are about 2 years old right now and I just potted them into their new homes. Wish me luck!
