Shimpaku
Does anyone know where I can get advanced Shimpaku stock? I know Shibui has them but they won't be ready 'till summer.

Re: Shimpaku
Tien at Bonsai Sensation or Trevor at Bonsai Art both have advanced Shimpaku.
Tending bonsai teaches me patience.

Re: Shimpaku
I went xxxx nursery, and gee they're expensive. Over $200 for a pre-bonsai with 1.2cm trunk. Is this normal?

But 200 seems excessive for what your describing. what nursery was it?

Re: Shimpaku
Yeah I’m not far from Bonsai Art, the prices are steep. Tien at Bonsai Sensation is more reasonable but last time I was there he didn’t have a lot of shimpaku that I could see. Mind you i’m blind to virtually anything not deciduous

Re: Shimpaku
I found Shimpaku to be more expensive than other types of junipers. That's why I decided to grow my own stock 4years ago. They are very slow growing trees. Prices were around $250 for a decent size advance stock in nurseries.

Re: Shimpaku
If it is a straight trunk around 2-2.5cm. If it has movement around 1-1.5cm. In my experience, trunk with bends tend to grow slower than a straight trunk. This was 4years back. I don’t know price range of shimpaku now.
