What ever your selling would be great just so we can see what you have for sale

[Tony Bebb]

Wish I could get there for it.

Pics or no pics you can bet there will be plenty of interesting stuff.

Hope you are still keeping your personal stuff Leigh

[Andrew F]

Willing to post? Any pots?

[Leigh Taafe]

I am not real keen on posting. All of the bonsai will come with the pot they are in - some of them will be quite old Japanese pots.
I have plenty of commercial pots for sale also.

I hear the powerful and striking Catlin Elm is making its way to Melbourne in May ??

[Watto]

Hmm, I might be interested in buying just one tree, I wonder what is for sale?

[Leigh Taafe]

Hi Tony,

Some of personal collection will be offered for sale. Some have already been sold in the last couple of weeks, including a very old cedar, and the Catlin Elm, among other things. I have also swapped a very old black pine and a very old red pine. I will be keeping the trees I use for my hire business.

I will be keeping my shohin collection at this stage, but keep your eyes open in about 12 months time, when I have them ready, they may also be for sale.

At the moment, as bonsai, I have a very large Chinese Elm, some other very old Chinese Elm, a very old liquidamber, a very old Mexican Hawthorn, a very old swamp cypress, a very old hornbeam, old Japanese and trident maples, Pyracantha, Silver birch, spruce, a very large juniper squamata cascade, English elm, Lilac, Black Pine cascade, a very old pomegranite, some kind of citrus (not entirely sure what it is), crabapple, maybe a few other things that I cant think of at the moment. Most of these are quite old bonsai, many of them need a bit of work - they are not all in pristine quality, but have great potential to be brought back to their former glory.

I have many smaller commercial style bonsai, including Trident maple, pyracantha, Chinese elm, PJ fig, Willow leaf fig, Juniper, cotoneaster, etc etc.

In large trunk stock plants I have English elm, hornbeam, gingko, spruce, Shimpaku, pyracantha, ligustrum, etc.

In small stock I have some PJ fig, juniper squamata, Satsuki azalea, Chinese elm.

There are other things that I havent listed. I will try and get some photos. One of the reasons for me getting rid of so much is that I dont have alot of time to care for so many trees properly, let alone take photos of them !

Many of these trees have never been offered for sale, but, as the title suggests - I have to bite the bullet and let them go to a better home!

[Leigh Taafe]

From $10 to $3000
