and more! I'll probably also have other assorted odds and ends. Most of the 1 gallons will be $2-5 and the larger deciduous will be $10-$20 depending on quality. All prices will including sales tax. I hope to have a Square reader and Zelle info onsite.

Will be there with 1 or 2 bougies in bonsai pots and 2 junipers. Please refer to itz_jhay to see what else I have for potential sale/trade. See you guys tomorrow ! ☺

See you all there, we will be setting up one table with limited items as well, pots and trees we will have.

 

[Wulfskaar]

How long is this expected to last?

 

[jhaysBonsaiS89]

About 2 hours. I suspect people are going to hang around and chit chat after the event

Good to see you again, Guy.

I managed to get out of there with a couple shimpakus, a Brian Soldano pot, and some money still left in my bank account, so all in all a pretty good morning.

Brian Soldano

Aw, I didn’t even those! But there were some great trees and deals to be had!

 

[Housguy]

So cool and two years into Bonsai kicking it with Bob Pressler buying trees was Tommy Lee of Motley Crue the rock band. Nice seeing some of the B nuts there as well!

Hi @hemmy ,

I'm wondering how much you might sell the oaks for (assuming you're still willing to sell)?

Tommy Lee does bonsai? That’s actually pretty cool.

 

[Housguy]

I know right! He told one of the vendors he bought trees from that he doesn't even have to smoke pot to work on the trees LOL!
