Hi everyone, I am after a mature Acacia Howitii. Stock plant preferred but styled bonsai will be fine too.
Thick trunk of > 5cm preferred and will negotiate the price accordingly.

Thank you

Ray Stocks them as Pre Bonsai, but dunno if that big tho.. Call him and ask. Otherwise normal nursery may have some

I think the regular Acacia howitii is not used for bonsai yet, as far as i know. Many people work on "Acacia howitii 'prostrata'" which has more of a weeping habbit, and looks great. The prostrate form can be very expensive, with Ray being by far the cheapest place to get it. Being a form, it does not grow true from seed. Also, its is VERY difficult to take cuttings from, hence the usually high price.
