Wow, sorry for taking so long to reply, the Air Force has had me very busy. So I am going to acme in the morning and getting some supplies. @AaronThomas could you tell me the list you went there with. I heard they also have black lava rock, so I am going to get a few things to up my arsenal...

Awesome! I went to the Tucson Bonsai Society's show at the Botanical Gardens and I saw their soil was mainly small grain black lava rock and pumice. It made me wander about my soil. Beautiful trees there today, just saying.

OK so I might have Floribunda and not chinensis, because these came up on my only survivor. Leafs perhaps?

Sweet. Thank you. Just pm me when you have the chance.

I am interested in the true red would you have a picture?

I don't mind I was thinking like three or four. I would like a rooted cuttings, or seedling would be fine too.

Apparently I think I posted in the wrong area. This one looks more suitable. Looking for rooted Japanese Red Maple cuttings for future bonsai potential. Was told to ask the amazing people here for things, I will pay shipping and cost of you would like. I purchased some seeds online but they...

Ok Sorce mentioned about asking for cuttings. Would I be able to purchase some cuttings, or perhaps some that are already rooted?
