Im not selling anything but If u are in the Hampton GA area ive just located a abandoned nursery abandoned approx 15 yrs ago. These trees are selling dirt cheap!!! I paid $50 for the two maples and the juniper!!!They have been left for nature to mold and shape and some of them are beautiful and some needs fellow bonsai enthusiasts to bring out their beauty.

Those maples look far from abandoned - nice find!

They look healthier than some of my landscape maples, and I'm doing my best! I need to abandon some of my landscape trees in GA for a few years 🤣

I just LOL’d imagining that the nursery is not actually abandoned. They’re on vacation and return to find a a empty lot and broken dreams at the hands of @tbdshou.

But seriously, cool find and quite the treasure. I’m jealous.

Abandoned for 15 years and all these potted trees are still alive? Who are you paying this money to if it’s abandoned? Lol. Some ghost of nurseries past? 😂

Nice find though! Similar situation up here, there’s this HUGE wholesale nursery that’s going out of business, picked up a bunch of really nice material for suuuuuper cheap last fall.

I wonder if they have anything left? 1hr 45 min drive is quite a trip, but I'd be willing to make it for the right tree!

@Just Rosie @coachspinks I dont know if they are still selling plants. I later found out that they actually use these plants and others for movie props shot here in GA. They were actually selling alot of older plants when I was searching

I am about 2 hours away but I am willing to spend half day if they are still selling these awesome plants at low prices. Could you share the nursery's contact or website please?
Thanks.
