Searching for Juniper Itoigawa, Shimpaku, open to suggestions

[Brian Van Fleet]

This is from a nursery that won't ship. Ever. But I visit frequently. I'm trying to set up a special visit for our study group. It is old school California bonsai - and I mean that respectfully.

And it looks like it! You ever decide you want to box one up and ship it, I'd be happy to buy one to play with.

Well... it's not like I want to go into the bonsai reselling business, but I DO remember what it was like living in Chicago yearning for access to nice trees. For example, this is a $250 shimpaku pre-bonsai in California.

Bonsainut, you lived in Chicago? I would but that material NOW! Obviously a finders fee and shipping would be paid also.

No finder's fees necessary. Let me see what I can find. It may not be until the New Year however given that holidays are right around the corner and some of these places are a trip for me.

Yes I grew up in the Chicago area, though I moved to California 20 years ago. I was a member of the Midwest Bonsai Society.

Yes I have it. Say hi to all the MidWest Bonsai Society peeps from me! I used to live just down the street from the Botanic Garden and could walk to meetings
