Any Sydney'ites interested in buying good quality stock trees from a motivated Canberra enthusiast?

I, as an enthusiast, will be in Sydney for Bonsai By The Harbour, and would be willing to bring anything that someone might be interested in up with me.
Let me know what you might be looking for and I could post a picture!

Remember, I am just an enthusiast, willing to sell my own material at VERRRRRY reasonable prices. (No retailing here!)

Might be interested Leigh.

What stock do you have/are you willing to bring? What price range? Interested in natives and pretty much everything but Pinus and Ficus.... Im looking for something a little special. I need to stop playing with little sticks.....

Hi Joel,

I have quite a large variety of stock, however, I dont have many (if any) natives. I have a lot of English Elm, Shimpaku Juniper, Scots Pine, Black Pine, Red Pine, Scots Pine, have some Ezo Spruce, Privet, Atlantic Cedar, have a very large Needle Juniper, Hawthorn, some prunus, yada yada....................

There are some extra large bonsai I want to get rid of, Pine, Cedar, Privet, Hornbeam, Elm, etc, etc.

Like I have said in the past - I am getting out of mainstream retail and have a lot of stock that I dont want to water.

I have a van - but I cant bring everything to Sydney....anyone making the trip down would not be disappointed if they wanted to visit on their way to see the National Collection.

G'day Strawbs,

Good to hear about the Juni - It is gonna be a pearla!

I only bought enough twisted junis for myself, however, there could be enough for others in time, leave me with it.

Hi Archie,

I have a stack of Shimpaku for sale from $30 up to $120 - all are great for bonsai. Cant bring all of them - would need a reticulated semi to do that job.

Ive already got my Satsuki order in.

I reckon if you just pack a few choice options youll find an audience.

Im looking forward to meeting you and having a beer or three as well.

Yes Ben, you are right - she would. Dont think I could control him whilst I do the demo though! One day maybe!
