However...

The first of the Blue Jacaranda seeds has sprouted! These are the trees I'm most looking forward to - but thats almost a decade away, even if they grow well...

Planting Diagram...

And here it is, the two seed trays:

The key is below:

C - Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus Libani)

E - European Hornbeam (Carpinus Betulus)

H - Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis Obtusa)

W - White Chinese Wisteria (Wisteria Sinensis Alba)

J - Blue Jacaranda (Jacaranda Mimosifolia)

B - Black Locust Tree (Robinia Pseudoacacia)

O - Orange Jasmin (Murraya Paniculata)

R - Coast Redwood (Sequoia Sepervirens)

(Latin names are 'fun' to type - please not the sarcasm)

Blue Jacaranda (Jacaranda Mimosifolia)

This one was a great surprise, wasn't expecting the plant to be anywhere near as stunning, was just taken in by the name when ordering without looking at any photos...

The full grown trees look stunning and hopefully, with a lot of patience and a fair bit of luck, I'll be able to achieve a similar result with the Bonsai...

Don't know how well they do as Bonsai, if anyone has any pictures, would be very much appreciated...

The seeds needed a soak overnight, and were planted out yesterday afternoon... Have mini-greenhouse-type things so should keep them quite warm in the day... Hopefully will germinate in 3-4 weeks as stated on the lable but I guess it all depends on the weather...
