I've been tryng for an hr to post two simple pictures but it doesn't seem to be...I wanted to let folks know that in a communication with Bill Valvanis today, I discovered he had some nice
cascade chojubai over 2 decades old and trained that he was gonna repot this weekend and put in his sales yard. I thought before they got away, I'd let the folks know they're available as mostly you find untrained starts. I'll try again later to post pictures later.

Damn that's a nice one Dick! And congratulations on getting one. Pic?? Darn it, we have property taxes coming up and I'm just a bit tight right now. But I'd LOVE to own one of those!!

The one pic you did post was a really nice looking tree. Reminds me of fredtruck's trees in stylistic content. (that's a compliment fredtruck)

Nice tree. Is that one of the ones Bill was selling, or was it already part of your collection?

Any idea why I can't get anything posted anymore? I've never had trouble before, just lately?
Hmmm, thank-you for getting the problem solved. I was hopeful all along to get some comments....

Are there any chojubai still available, from any source? I have come to terms with the fact that I am in love with chojubai and probably will love it for the rest of my life! ( Please don't adjust the asking price based on that comment )

I just got some nice red chojubai plants from my friend. I'll have them for sale at the Midwest Bonsai Show in the Chicago area next weekend, August 16-19, 2013. The three year old plants are in 4 inch pots and have many branches.

Sorry I cannot ship.
