[Bill S]

Just as rockm says, still drooling Duane. You are envied.

 

[Just Duane]

Thanks rockm & Bill S. I'm stoked to have this one on my bench. Its gonna be a trip to wire, but i'm looking foward to it.

 

[Just Duane]

There are others, I have seen them

Anyone interested in some nice pines or any other trees? I got this one from Mr Don Blackmond of Gregory Beach Bonsai http://www.gregorybeachbonsai.com/index.html

I hesitate to share this, because there are some that I would like to get in the future But Dons such a cool guy & I have to give credit where credit is due. Seriously though, anyone interested should hit Don up on his site. Don is a straight shooter (as harry has said before) & all prices are confidential between you & Don. If you dont see anything you like, email him & give him a price range.....you just might get what you want....

Thanks Brian.......Don does have good trees.

Pine Barron, I agree with you 100%.....I feel totally comfortable with Don. I remember my first tree I got from Don.....I was sweating bullets, but Don was calm talking to me on the phone & I just knew I could trust him.

Great pine! I'm jealous. Shohin size?

 

[Just Duane]

Hi Matt, this pine is 8.5" from the soil line with a 2.75" trunk. Thanks for your kind words. You got relatives in Hawaii?

 

[sam]

aloha, sam

 

[Just Duane]

Hey Sam thanks, long time no hear

Hope all is well with you & the family.

 

[mholt]

Very nice Duane. Nope, no relatives of mine in Hawaii.

 

[Specialkayme]

Very nice JBP!

I followed the link and sent Don a message. Hopefully he'll be able to find me a nice JBP or JWP that I can learn off of, not be ashamed to show, and still not cost me an arm and a leg (I may have been asking for too much there).

Keep us updated on your plans with it. Do you know what you are going to work on first?

 

[Just Duane]

Hi Specialkayme, I plan to decandle this tree next month & if all goes well, I should be pulling old needles & thinning out this pine sometime in sept or oct. I will wire this tree after thinning.

Is there a chance Don is anywhere in north/northeast US? I'd be interested in seeing what trees he has available. ;-)

axxonn, Don is located in a rural setting in southwestern Michigan north of the I-80 toll road and south of I-94. Just 2 hours east of Chicago, 3 hours west of Detroit and 4 hours north of Indianapolis.

Got info of his site.
