Planting Maple Seeds Like Nature Does

Growing bonsai from seed is the dream, isn't it?
But why does it seem like such a complicated process? All this artificial ripening of seeds, simulated freezing in the kitchen icebox, manual nicking of the seeds shells...

Doesn't nature just do all that for us?

Well, for those who want to grow plant types that don't normally live in a climate similar to their own, all those steps ensure a higher success rate.
However, if you focus on growing plants from seed that naturally occur in a habitat that experiences the same conditions that you see when you step outside, Nature can show you the way.
