I have not seen any for sale in garden centres or Bunnings even. I have bought a JWP and another round one. The JWP has little cones too. Just two at the top of the tree. And one roundish pine that I have forgotten the name of. Tiny thing. But isn't it amazing when you become interested and fixated on bonsai, you look around gardens and the country side to identify a few more interesting potential bonsai. And your own garden too. Amazing what I found, a Quince, that I have taken cuttings from and seeds, although only one seed sprouted, and couldn't lose its case and died. Privet, prunus, Picea Albertinia conica, wisteria. Flowering weeping cherry (non edible unfortunately but the birds love them) banksia, bottle brush, and wild apple tree, birch, holly (English) and liquid amber.
And small leaf privet, and the big Photinia. Well done everyone!
). Anyway, the swelling around the wire cutting in produces fatter trunks, faster. They've been doing it in Japan for a long time, particularly in in Kinashi. The wire stays in forever.
