This is my largest Shimpaku, that I picked up today at the Canberra Bonsai Society meeting.
I bought this one primarily because of the roots they seemed to be the best of the 10 or so that were up for sale.
From what I gather these were grown from cuttings by our resident NBPCA curator Grant, he may chime in and let us know it's approx. age?
I'm mostly looking for some ideas on where to go.
Here are some pics.

Re: New Shimpaku (Raw stock)
Nice find scott. Lots of low branches to select.
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Re: New Shimpaku (Raw stock)
As you know J Shimpaku is very slow and these would be 15 years or older. Struck from cuttings and grown on slowly potted up to the size they are in now.
These are the last of my stock that I propigated; I sold them to Leigh last year and he has the remaining few.
Here was a demo I did for Bonsai By The Harbour.
Noel acting around as usual as well

Re: New Shimpaku (Raw stock)
Nice stock mate! Shall make a great tree. Other may dis-agree, but I think I would not use the branch on the left but the one to the right. Depending on which side your looking at...

Re: New Shimpaku (Raw stock)
Great Stuff Scott. I look forward to where you take it.
Thanks for the pictures Grant! That's some great work I wish I had been there I loved Bonsai by the Harbour the year I went.

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

I need to get back onto that one. It has been resting (I have been resting) for a year or so.

Re: New Shimpaku (Raw stock)
Excellent ideas guys!
Ant, what you did in your first virt is pretty much what my ideas were.
Creeping Dragon, yeah thats the branch I was thinking but from the other side.
and thanks Grant for the inspiration pics and info.
I'll try and update this thread when I've made some progress!
Thanks
Scott.
