Here's some photo taken (as teaser) during our visit to Sanfong together with Bonsailelong, the cucur atap very nice,
but the price also very nice.. btw, cucur atap chinese name is call what?

Got the black pine seeds today, TQ Zebal.
I can only go down to Melaka next weekend & I'll bring the Indon volcanic soil for you by then.
For the baby black pine, sifu Chiang is the correct person to ask.
How's your black pine seeds doing? any spore yet ?
As for the asam jawa, I just plant mine in a bigger pot like a garden plant and let the trunk grow bigger first.

Cucur attap Chinese name "xian jhong" means good frequent pine.
Scientific name - Beackea frutescens.

Well, I wonder what SF's lady boss will say if she sees u post up all the photos.

My black pine no spore yet. Some still in water n some in wet paper tissue.

Got to know that the asam jawa tree is called tamarind in english

If you are willing to try to twist and turn your asam jawa....
you might get this .



High risk of KO if you twist you tree at one go.

I think it's time to give your baby Premna some bend or twisting movement and hair cut to that serrisa too.

ALright!!, the taiwan premna is growing very fast, i did another 3 more cuttings and they seems to be growing as well!!
going to have a porch full of premna later...!!! hihi

Update on the JBP seeds, Today is the 11th day of trying to germinate the seeds. I have transfered 5 seeds to a wet paper tissue. and the balance in the water soaking.

I saw 3 of the seeds on the wet tissue cracked open and starting to germinate, and some in the water also starting to cracked.

YAY!

Good work!
Mine is still in the fridge.

Okinama holly, scientific name-Ilex dimorphophylla or called Mirtein in BM.

Bloom with beautiful small white flowers.

Went to Sanfong again today....

Bought 2 young casuarina tree.

Scientific name called Casuarina equisetifolia, originally from Australia.

and also a multi purpose bonsai knife.

good for removing barks from tree stem.

After one week of changing of the volcanic soil to my baby black pines, new needles appear in
one of the candles. Thanks to sifu Chiang's advise

..hope this is the beginning of adaptation of environment here.
