Purchased this kit with a gift certificate, and although there is a somewhat interesting 68 page little book, the kit was totally lacking any specific guidance and instruction on how to actually plant, water and nurture for a starting sapling tree. The pruning scissors that come with the kit are very cheap as well. We've set the seeds provided on the "peat pellet" provided, and used other sources to attempt to properly water and nurture; we'll see if we get a sapling. (?) The first reviewer's comments may well be on the mark.
