I'm selling my collection

[Jay Wilson]

Hello everyone.
Some of you may remember me from years past here on the nut.
Life has taken some different turns for me and I've moved away from bonsai. I've kept my trees alive and somewhat healthy, but I've decided to let them go.
I'll be selling them on eBay, but if you look back on my threads here and see one of my trees you would be interested in, I might consider a private sale here for trees I haven't yet listed on eBay.

Anyway, it will take a few months to list and sell my trees so I will post links as they come up.

Here's the first tree:

Thanks,
Jay

Sad to hear that you have to sell them. But yes sometimes life takes a different turn.
If you post them here i'm sure they will come in good hands.

Good luck with your sales Jay. I hope you get top dollar, and I hope they go to good homes.

I don't know about top dollar, but I suspect most will go to good homes.
They aren't show ready trees because they are mostly in old wood boxes but the true bonsai folks will see the potential in them. They most likely won't end up on top of a TV somewhere.

I just PM you about a tree.

 

[Jason_mazzy]

that tree has a nice front. how well does it backbud? or ramify?

 

[Jay Wilson]

Hello Jason, Laurel Oak probably won't get highly ramified with super fine twigging, but I think if someone worked at it they could do fairly well.

 

[Jay Wilson]

Thank you people for all the response to this thread. I'm a bit overwhelmed.
I have been working on some trees today trying to get them cleaned up and taking some pictures. I'll start posting some later tonight.

Sorry to see you go

Especially as you seem to be willing to put the time into developing a tree the with the long view. Not somethng you see often anymore, and I'm guilty of as well as I put them in pots too early.

Nice of you to post them here, wish I had some budget, as they are very nice. Will watch to see what other gems y have to pass on.

Are you sure you are out? Because your trees show your passion...
Just sayin....

 

[tmmason10]

Ill echo jury's thoughts, you have clearly put good time and thought into these. Wish I had the money and good luck with your new phase in life.

 

[Jay Wilson]

Sorry folks, something has come up and I'll be out of touch for a few days.

Jay,

I hope things work out as best as possible for you. I am interested in the willow oak. Please let me know pricing when you get some time to figure things out. Oh, yeah and be gentle!

Regards,
Martin
