Now... I’ve been searching everywhere, going to all my local nurseries and calling ones farther away, all in the hopes of finding a stewartia. I keep getting the same response, that they’re too finicky for our weather here in Sacramento so they just don’t bring them in. Finally found a nursery in Oregon that would ship one. Unfortunately it was basically a stick in a pot, not much to work with at all, but hell, I didn’t care. I’d take anything at this point. Today was the day I was going to finalize the purchase, and also my weekly visit to maruyama’s.... and whaaaaa!? What is this?! I stumble upon one of his ready made bonsai and it’s a stewartia! Uzo goes, pfhh, have a bunch of them back there. All this freaking time!
Anyway, I totally geeked out and happily got elbow deep in dirt n mud to pick one out.
Now I’m assuming these back bud well, hoping at least, becuase one side of the trunk had a bunch of dead branches so now there’s a section devoid of anything.
Unless.... I chop the main trunk down to the first thick branch, then it wouldn’t matter....
Dunno yet, I’m just so freakin excited to get my hands on one!
Not the greatest pics.. sorry
