Redbud aka "Ace of heart" / Cercis canadensis is a unique species for growing bonsai due to its signature pink/purple spring flowers that proceed their leaf emergence. Redbuds are especially suited for formal upright, broom, or literati styles but are flexible to any other bonsai style as well.
These seeds were sourced from a landscape tree at the Ohio State University. Like all "bonsai seeds", they are not genetically distinct from the species at large and it will require your knowledge of bonsai to make beautiful bonsai with these seeds. To that end, I have written what I believe is the most comprehensive information package on the complete process of growing a bonsai from seed. My 10-year bonsai-from-seed guide is also freely available through various articles on my blog (www.InVivoBonsai.com) but the hard copy I send you is an exclusive condensed and simplified version. I hope you and others will find it a useful reference guide over the years-long process of growing your bonsai. Specifically for buyers of these seeds, I will include a printed version with the important points distilled from my longer blog articles.
Thank you for supporting my bonsai work! Happy growing :)
