🚀 go-pugleaf

thanks to all for help & suggestions

am planning to go ahead & give it a shot ... although it does not get
very cold near bombay... & has very slim chances of growing

most sources seem to be good, but the link that clear cut has posted
seems to be quite a reliable source for getting seeds
http://www.fire.ca.gov/ResourceManagement/StateNurseries.asp

Polar, I may not be around when & if this tree ever grows fully.. but
will feel good even if it starts growing .... :)
