New Trees
Posted: December 4th, 2009, 11:44 am
hey all
i went for a run out to Ray Nesci's yesterday with my grandma, cos she had offered to buy me a bonsai for Christmas (yay!) well i ended up with one privet, a mudman horse and a Peter Adams print from grandma, and a juniper squamata prostrata, a bag of mixed gauge wire, and Morten Albeck's Shohin book from me! talk about a shopping trip! bonsai vs clothes; bonsai would win any day! unfortunatly i dont get the print and horse until christmas, but i get to keep the privet at my house becuase grandma is too scared she'll kill it!
i was impressed with the price for what i got; i was looking for trees that wouldnt need too much styling and improving and that were practically 'finished' in those areas. anyway, the privet was $98 (i was particularly impressed with this price, as i think its quite a good quality tree) and the juni was $66. heres some pics of them - sorry about the creases in the background; forgot to iron the sheet! 
i'll make sure i do that next time
this is the juniper squamata prostrata
