Potentially BIG trees!
oh! no idea why i would have brought these then.
only trees I interested in are bonsai's
weird!!!
Maple acers grow HUGE!!! I have one in my front garden. However it's very, very slow-growing as I've had mine 6 years and it's only about 15 ft!!
Larches are big too - but I don't know whether they grow quickly or not.

hmm, really dont understnad why I would have brought these seeds then, unless someone on ebay was ripping people off saying htey were something else.

You could have bought them thinking of turning them into bonsai trees? I know there are maples. Also, I have very little knowledge of bonsai. :-)
hreow!! you must be pyschic, now u said it it rang a bell. i DID buy seeds from ebay as bonsais's and as these are the only seeds i hve in the house not planted must have been them.
Me thinks me got scammed perhaps!!

Not to rain on your parade, but bonsai is hard, even for an experienced gardener, and bonsai from seed even harder. Give it a shot if you want, but don't be too disappointed at the results....

Best thing do a random search on the net and see what is comes up with - or pop along to a local nursery and ask thier advise.
one of them can be gorwn as bonsai but looks like a dead twig to me
the other is a HUUUGE tree.
