Trident maples seedlings as pulled out of the garden beds. Posted to you bare root but with roots wrapped in damp newspaper and a plastic bag. Trident seedlings have coped with up to 2 weeks in the post when packed this way but I now post express so delivery is usually 2-4 days depending on destination (and whether I get the address correct).
Please be aware that some will have plenty of roots and others will have few but they are tridents and will almost certainly grow despite having few roots.
All orders are subject to additional pack and post cost. Post cost depends on destination as well as size and weight of the box so please advise your address or postcode so I can calculate costs for each order. I try to pack as economically as possible to minimise post cost.
ballpark delivery costs: less than 50 small, add $15; up to 100 small, add $20; 1-2 forest packs, add $20
Apologies to WA, Tasmanian and international members. Due to strict quarantine restrictions we can only supply live trees and seed to Eastern States.

- Medium: trunks approx 3mm to 6mm thick. $2 each The trunks will be lopped at around 40cm to facilitate packing and post. Suit growing on to produce future bonsai, meduim trees in beginning groups, fusion projects, threading through metal plates, washers, etc,
- Large: trunks approx 6mm (pencil thick) to 10 mm thick. $5 each. Trunks will be trimmed to around 40 cm to facilitate pack and post. Suit larger trunks in beginning group planting, grow on for future bonsai.

All you need to do is trim the roots and arrange the trees in a container then grow them on for a few years to develop your very own trident bonsai forest.
Japanese maples seedlings. These are also mostly volunteer seedlings from the garden beds. In the past I've had limited numbers of JM seedlings but this year there seems to be plenty. They are slower to grow so prices a little higher than tridents.

- medium $5 each
- only a couple thicker than 6mm at $10 each.
- Limited numbers of red bark Japanese maples $10 each
