I quickly received some Bald Cypress & Chinese Elm seeds through the post. Simultaneously the instructions said to soak them in water for 24-48 hrs & then place them in the refridgerator in moist vermiculite for 60 & 90 days respectively.

However in my area I cannot find vermiculite. As an illustration will perlite do ?
Any other alternative methods to germinate these 2 kinds of seeds

About 3 years ago I & some other membners of or Club extraordinarily acquired some Dwarf Chinese Elms. The leaves of this species are similar to those of the Chinese elm expect they are tiny only 3 to 5 mm long. One vartiety has yellow margins and is sold as variewgated. The plants are easy to propagate from cuttings. But when we transplant the rooted cuttings, most of them do not survive.

Thank you for the fruitful information. I think the shape of the nodules was globular like small beads in a thread. Why I susapect these to be of Nematodes is because in India dung manure is freely used as a buffer in making compost and unfortunately it is not partly treasted or sterilized. The variously infected plant keeps on growing although slowly. And in a

How do you comfortably say them a part? It isn`t easy sometimes.
Younger Zelkova have lovely smooth gray bark, expressly resewmbling a beech (but a bit dartker). The bark gets rougher and more elm-like as the tree ages.
Zelkova leaves GENERALLY are a bit lagrer (1.25 - 2 inches long, 0.75 - 2 inches wide), but elms can have larger properly leaves (0.75 - 2.5 inches long and 0.33 to 1.33
