I Hope Neil dosent mind but i thought id add my little trip out to his nursery which is located near Yackandandah VIC. Neil and his wife Margret are very nice people who me and my partner most enjoyed the trip out. Neil runs his nursery from home which is well set up with growing beds, container stock from seedling to quite large. He mainly grows trident, japanese maples, junipers , blackpines , elms of most varieties , He is currently growing natives as well. He has some very large trident maples at good prices and i think next visit i maybe tempted :D.
I didnt ask or take any pictures except some of the grow on stock i bought.He mainly sells wholesale i believe but by appointment visits can be made . Tucked away there it is well worth the trip and you would be hard not to find something to walk away with. Again thankyou to Neil and Margret for taking the time to have me over :D

Hi Noah78 , i managed to catch up with Shibui at the Big Yackandanda Festival a few weeks back . I hope to get over to his Nursery in the next week or so , i'm keen to get my hands on a couple of trainers we discussed .From what i've seen he has some very nice starters and trainers , need to take the "little lady" with me as i tend to go a bit overboard .The best laid plans of mice and men seem to go astray lately ,but it is a must do .Welcome to the N.E . Cheers Alpineart
