| Yes I know it's a naughty tree to have but does anyone know where I can obtain some seeds and/or root cuttings of Rhus typhina or any other Rhus.I want to grow them into large Bonsai.Regards Conifer_Nut. |

RE: Rhus seeds/cuttings

| Conifer nut... As luck has it I was walking in the Waite arboretum today at lunchtime and stopped to adrire a Rhus sp. can't remember which one. It had fine ferny foliage, very different from the poisonous variety with the scarlet autumn foliage. I noticed it had small green fruit on it so I can keep an eye on them and collect some seed for you later in the year when they ripen, if you'd like... |

| Yes please Jamus S.If you could keep an eye for the seeds to ripen it would be much appreciated.It sounds like it might be a type of Rhus called Rhus typhina "laciniata" which has cutleaf foliage very much like a fern leaf.I have two of these growing at home however I would like some more so I am very interested in obtaining these seeds you mention.It turns a briliant scarlet orange in autumn and when viewed on a cloudy day or just as the sun goes down,the foliage appears to "glow" this beautiful orange/scarlet colour.I'll keep in touch.Many thanks for the reply,I was beginning to think I wasn't going to get a reply.Regards Conifer_ Nut. |

| Rhus taitensis, a native of Australia and parts of SE Asia is freely available in QLD. R.taitensis doesn't have the allergenic problems of some of the other Rhus. Doug. |
