I am persuaded just-out-of-seed, seedlings Were and are an original cause of bonsai-penjing. I am sure the long ago volunteer bloodgood Japan maples in my yard were, for me.
Keeping little trees in little pots is adictive Red.

My seed babies aren't popping yet. Partly cause I'se north of you, an' partly cause we've had our coldest weeks of the winter the past few.
For anything not tender*, I like to cold stratify outdoors. I'm still very sold on the daily changes in temperature stripping inhibitors better than just plain cold (in the fridge), doing.
The best germination I ever got on a regular basis for witchhazel, was by potting it up in August, and letting it sit cold till spring. No fridge, no paper towels, just a pot with dirt and a plank on it to keep the squirrels out.
Even pokey a**ed rosa rugosa geminates better and more fully with neglect outdoors.

About 4 years ago one of my kids spit an orange seed into one of my house plants. It rooted and started growing and, thinking it was a weed I pulled it up. It still had the hard pit attached to it so I knew it was an orange seed. I planted it and it's been growing in a pot ever since. It has wicked thorns on it- some 3 inches long- but it's never blossomed. I wonder if it maybe needs a bigger pot or some kind of fertilizer to help it along.

The fictional 'Mr Myagi' {translates to "little tree"}, not the real Pat Morita. Was is about typical in its presentation that he would live forever, in all the incarnations of Karate Kid. I'm veering off again because arbor work is easily multi-generational.
Start now. Be it with a little homemade cardboard sign of "Tree babies for Sale" Or a give away on your local free-cycle.
If you grow in an utter vaccuum, a day will come when your trees have no foster parent, and all will fall under steel. Or you may be compelled to move. Being pro-active and fostering trees out is all I know how to do to get ahead of my own mortality.

Quince are awake, tho none are obviously the contorted ones I covet. Hazelnut (corylus) is starting to pop, still no pawpaw.

I've never grown cranberry (one of the heath sized shrubs) from seed before. And I thought rose was tiny as a seedling...
I had to set my nose on the edge of the pot to find them. Teeny, really teeny.

Are you messing around or should I send you some dollars for shipping? It might not get enough chill hours here, but I've read some info that says that Indian Blood peaches used to grow wild in North Florida. So there's a chance that it would do well. But it's getting kind of warm to dig up and ship a live seedling. A few days on a hot truck could be pretty rough on a baby tree.

I shipped some out a month or so ago but they were bigger trees. Mis understood the postal clerk and paid for priority mail, like $44 for a free gratitude package. So don't want to do that again. But I do have gobs of seeds just starting to sprout, so they could be potted and maybe shipped. They say the Indian Blood Cling tree dates back to the U.S. Colonial era of the mid 1500s when an Indian blood peach tree was discovered on an Indian plantation in Georgia, so it is from your neck of the woods. It in one of the few varieties that come true from seed and the nice thing is, they are resistant to peach leaf curl. Mark
