your not listening or reading thats what im talking about.

You said you were after tree's about a meter of more. The specialist fruit nurseries will have tree's of those size, and may also have contacts to commercial growers. I know of only two groves in Aus, but there has to be more. I have a large one in a field back here but you'll need a bobcat at least to lift it. its been in the ground for about 40 years, 30 being fed up for growth ( he realized it wasn't selling because it was too big).

If you are looking for styled stock, I would gather you have looked in at all the local bonsai nurseries. All you could do from there is web search other interstate nurseries and start emailing out. Its not fun, but should get some results.
Good luck with the search

ace all my posts are as clear as day please read all again.

You want one a meter or more high, 3" or more across the base.
You should be able to find them in any Specialist fruit nurseries, contact a production grower about removal possibilities, talk to interstate bonsai nurseries and one I didn't add, talk to an advanced tree nursery.

Otherwise your trying to say something else and have forgotten to add it...

60cm aint a metre but i woudnt say no to a metre. i thought i had made it obvious that i want a near finished well on its way tree but i would consider a stock tree... advanced one that is. now if i dont get any answers here of someone who might know someone. meanwhile i will put the word out at all the club meetings this month. as well as i will eventually get round to trolling the nurseries. thanks for the heads up asus.

oh yeah 100cm is a meter, 60 sec is a minute... My bad..

Still all of those sources should get you stock plants, advanced bonsai nurseries will be the go.

Here is one,

Might not be your cup of tea, but is has a big old trunk.

Cheers,

You're asking $2495.00 but you can't even be bothered taking a decent picture of it, for $2495.00 you could take it to your local photographic studio and have it proffesionally photographed with the right lighting, background and all, even throw in a few scantily clad models draped over it, like they do with the new cars, were you not wondering just the other day why expensive Bonsai do not sell, surely you must know that its 9 tenths marketing.

ozzy you're a man in the know, you know of any?

No ... they have narsty thorns that hurt my fingies.

not for now buddy but when im over there i'll come over with a pocket full.

ll keep an Eye out in the Sydney Bonsai nurseries when I am there Antonio. I love spending others money. We can work out transport later:)

Sorry, Ant, I didn't go digging around the pots on those. I just noted they were in the far left corner of the place and about 5-6ft tall. Bum steer, my bad.
