Hi All!
I've been wanting either a Corky Bark Elm o Chinese Elm for a while now but have not seen any on my travels around my area and surrounding.
Anyone know who sells them in Gold Coast and Brisbane area?
Cheers,
Kyle

Some very impressive ones at that. Amazing Pre-Bonsai material.Muddy wrote:Steve at Australian Bonsai Grower in Park Ridge has corkies.
Has small to large, if you are willing to spend $150 on stock, you'll get something really special as thick as your wrist.
But some really nice $38 ones too. Came so close to purchasing myself. But had gone there for a Tiger Bark fig that day and decided to stick to the plan.

It’s all about the new experience!

I haven't acquired that skill yet. I'll go in for a small fig & come out with 3 medium elmsThe Munt wrote:But had gone there for a Tiger Bark fig that day and decided to stick to the plan.

Hi Kyle,
If you're going for a drive north the North End Bonsai nursery at Morayfield is worth a look. I was there yesterday. They have various elms including corkies and chinese. The prices are reasonable too.
