I should mention that I only pay for tracking on packages not not things going threw the regular mail, I send them in an envelope but if you want tracking I will do so as long as you can paypal me the 1.00 for the post office trip and tracking cost. And if your planning on growing a Bonsai tree, yes, this will be very difficult to take care of, these seeds are time consuming to sprout, this is the case with many pine seeds depending on their dormancy. It will take at least a month just to sprout them, these are beautiful trees however and will make a terrific landscaping item, that is what I typically sprout them for, if you study the right pruning and training techniques you can have a very stylish bonsai looking shrub growing in your front yard.
