[WANTED] Kishu Juniper cuttings - Tight, light green foliage

I'm looking to buy a number of rooted Kishu Juniper cuttings.

Characteristics that I am looking for are tight foliage, light green in colour, and strong runners (growing tips). Middle foliage in the pic below:

If any hobby growers/sellers have any cuttings that match this pic let me know.

I've seen a number of good foliage junipers from Victoria so if any of the nurseries down there have Kishu cuttings or small stock and are interested in posting, I'll take you up on that.

As for price, whatever the going rate is, a few of dollars each?

Thanks
Scott

Kishu is everywhere Scott but if you cant't find rooted cuttings I can take them for you. How many?

hi scott
the itoigawa foliage you have in the photo does not look like itoigawa at all. you might need to double check the origin of the photo. obviously you are after kishu, just saying.....

Treeman, I have some but am looking for more to wire up. Also wanting to get as many different sources to see if there is a superior one in Australia.

Tien, interesting that you say that, I just took the pic from Brian van fleet's bonsai website. It looks very similar to the itoigawa that I have seen in the US, albeit a bit looser.
