[WANTED] In Search for Satsuki

[AndrewM]

Hi all
I have been searching for Satsuki stock trees for a while now and I am strugleing to find anything in South East Queensland. I have been to all the Bonsai nurseries around Brisbane and have email several nurseries in NSW and VIC with only a couple of replies and they will not post. Dose anyone know of or have Satsuki stock trees for sale and can post them.

Thanks
Andrew

I have stacks of them - but they are only in 4 inch containers - not very large!

Many different varieties? and what does a 4" pot cost?

[Leigh Taafe]

I have about 4 or 5 varieties and the 4 inch container stock is $5 each (it is large for the pot - should have been potted up to 6 inch).

[AndrewM]

Thanks Leigh

I will get back to you on this

Leigh, are these able to be posted? If so, what would postage cost to Nth Qld? Will they grow here? My mum has azaleas (not sure of variety but almost certainly not satsukis) growing in afternoon sun and they are doing well. I would be interested in 3 or 4.

OK - here is an example of the stock.

I did have a lot of these, but as I was running a "sale" this weekend, I now only have 36 left.
They are $5

At the moment (because they arent labelled) It will be hit and miss as to what you will get (I can identify them by their flower but not their foliage). It seems there are no saotome, but there is definately "osakazuki", "koryu", and "yochiyo" there is also a chance of another one I would have to did the name up of which has both pink and white flowers - the same one that "Espresso" posted here on our forum.

If anyone wanted a variety I could do my best to separate them by foliage, but they are very similar.

[Glenda]

Will you post, Leigh? I will take 4 in anything that comes (in multicolour if possible) if you will post.

PS how much longer until the tools you had a special on for Ausbonsai members come?

[kcpoole]

Yeah I will take some if I can get them from you

You know anyone coming to sydney soon?

I do not get down to canberra often.

Hi Leigh

Can you bring some to the convention this weekend? I can get Clinton Nesci to pick them up for me as I cannot get there

I would like to get 2 of each variety if you can identify them, but otherwise just 8 randoms will do

Let me know
Ken

Why do I get the image of Leigh driving into Sydney with plants up under his armpits, on the passanger seat, out the windows, strapped to the roof.

Bump

I am Still on the look out for some Satsuki if any one can help

[AndrewM]

It has been 8 months now since I posted this with not much luck. So I thought I would give it another go.

Cheers
Andrew
