tree project

Hey Hiroshi! Hope everything's going ace on your end!  Here's a photo of the hibaku plants under our care (Kian Peng and Melissa). They're all faring pretty well and I'm surprised they're doing alright despite having only partial sunlight. I'd always thought camphor trees were sun-loving plants!  One other thing which might not be very obvious in the photograph - most of the plants have little weeny branches and leaves sprouting very close to the soil. I'd initially wondered if they were weeds - but obviously not. I thought it was unusual to see tenacious little branches at the base. Keep me posted if you get other seeds soon! Warmest regards, Melissa

I have another seedling after more than 2 months! It's just so unexpected! :D :D :D  Here's the photo for you. I'm not too sure if this is even normal for folks to get sprouts after all this time - what a pleasant pre-Christmas surprise! Melissa

WOW! I knew it! I think it's the cold weather these days which are helping the seeds! I had seeds that sprouted over the last 2 days as well -  from the first batch of seeds ! They've been sitting in the earth for 2+ months! x Mel e

  First sighting of the li'l skinny sprout!   Close up of the camphor sprout.   Wow, sure grows fast overnight!   Leaves! So fast! ---Melissa Lim
