I live in San diego and have a few tropical tree seeds. I am interested in your purple datura seeds and maple seeds. I have to trade the following seeds, chorisia s., cassia bicapsularis, jacaranda m., tecoma stans, and a few others... my name is collin and i would love to trade soon, send me an email at coilin2@cox.net and we could trade very soon!

Guessing Pink Trumpet Tree over Trumpet Vine; "Tabhia" seems a reasonable phonetic approximation of "Tabebuia". Oops - meant to post a link to Tabebuia Impetiginosa seed photo rather than heterophylla, so removed it. Seeds are similar looking, but not sure about size.

First, thanks everyone. I'm in z5, so Chorisia isn't hardy if planted in the ground, year round, right? So, my options are growing as a bonsai in or a large container? What size is large? 10" or larger? It's in a 3" pot now. To be honest, I have a few house plants growing as bonsais, but I've never root pruned..is pruning roots a big job? Are there certain roots that shouldn't be cut? One last question, lol. Would growing as a bonsai differ than if left in a standard, small pot? I don't understand the difference. What type of soil is best? For succulents, I normally use Succulent soil, Perlite and coarse sand, though I haven't been able to locate the proper sand. HD used to sell sand w/large, gritty pieces, but their sand is now generic, more like beach sand. Thanks again, Toni

Canarina, There are also lots of sites on the internet that shows how to make your own paper envelopes. Not difficult and much less expensive than coin envelopes. Just a thought... Ann
