Hi I’m looking for a large black pine my budget is to $1000
Was thinking about heading up to leongs and rays but it a long trip.
So if any ones wants to sell one off I’m all ears.

Hi Ricardo , give Shibui a P.M ,N.E Victoria , he may be able to help with a ground grown tree/trainer if your inclined to style one yourself .Specify your requirements and request a pic or two .Cheers Alpineart

Helo Ricardo, i have some for sale if you are inclined to come up for a drive

And some at Shibui Bonsai near Yackandandah in Northeast Vic.
Here's some pics to give you an idea.
This is one of the previous year's - 18 months in the crate. This is one of the ones dug last winter. Last winter's dug trees are in poly boxes, some in 25-30 cm black pots depending on how extensive the root systems were.
Lots of trident maples too, including some really great root over rock specimens.
PM shibui for more.

those look great any more pics?

i have about 15 for sale priced between $250 and $1000 most of them root over rock and aged from 15 to 25 years old. more pics available

Very nice trees nishiki3 although not quite what i was looking for, I’m after an informal upright black pine
That will be around 1 meter or over when finished, so a large old pre stock trees probably the way to go with the budget I’ve got.
Every body’s help so far has been great so i should find a promising tree... Ricardo

For something that size you will be looking at the top end of your budget i think. im new to victoria so i cant really help with what alot of nurserys have or dont. I have been to shibui nursery and he does have some nice pines, not sure that big though?. Good luck and if you find one post it up

hi all just updateing every one i went out to shibuis last week
although i coulnd find size i was after i did get some nice stuff
very reasonable prices too

ooops didnt mean to submit i also bought the two that shibui posted aswell
and with alot of help from a club member we cut them back hard to get the
start of what hopefully become great trees p.s couldnt resist the tridant

I'm jealous

I like the pine alot. It has a good basel flare and the start of good branches and plety to choose from which is important with pines. looks like you scored well

thanks ill keep every one posted with their progresion
