| Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I was hoping that someone could help me with something. I have been thinking about trying to grow some Japanese black pine from seed and I was wondering if anyone knows of a truly reliable source for Japanese black pine seed?. I have seen a lot of Ebay auctions for these seeds, but how are you supposed to know for sure that you are getting actual Japanese black Pine seeds? There are so many different species of pine in the world, and I'm sure that a lot of the seeds look very much alike. I believe that there are some people out there that would sell seed from a different species either intentionally or unintentionally, and I would hate to find out after many, many years of growing and care, that they were not what I thought they were. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

| Well, try www.evergreengardenworks.com. I don't know if they actually sell seeds, but certainly grow and sell the trees (and you'll be so much better off starting with a 3-5 year old) and absolutely are experts (Brent Walston is the owner and long time teacher), as well as being full of integrity. In fact, I bet that if he doesn't have seeds (if you're still determined), that he will steer you to a place that does. |

| Watcha All, I sowed Japanese Black pine seeds last spring, came from a reliable source here in the UK. 100 seeds nearly all germinated. If my memory serves me well, the way you tell JBP seeds is, they are big, and they are stripey along the length. best Mick |
