Juniper workshop material

[melbrackstone]

Apparently there's a massive shortage of Juniper workshop material here in Qld. Anyone know of someone with stock?

It seems that the bonsai nurseries have all been cleaned out during lockdown, and the growers around here have not been starting much new stuff...?

There is a guy selling aged Juniper Squamata on Gumtree:

Not cheap, but nice old stock



Near Yatala

Australia wide it seems. The landscapers/others have been busy on their gardens, probably substituting junipers for other conifers that have become unavailable. We have only been able to source a few smaller trees this year for the society.

Not cheap!??? Compared to prices for similar stock in Sydney it's worth driving to Qld even worth tolerating Qlders for.

Thanks Sonya, I've passed on the link! $299 is a reasonable price for good large stock. I'm sure there'll be a few people chasing them now!

Hopefully more people will start growing them again Terryb!
