Two smalls for sale Crab and Azalea

[JudyB]

I have two remaining smalls to send to a new home, first up is a Japanese Crabapple. This tree is a twisty little guy and is leafing and budding up to bloom right now. The blooms are a white flower. As you can see from the 1 fruit that is still hanging out from last season the fruit is yellow/orangeish and is in very good scale for a small tree. Almost every branch has blooms forming at the tips. It's potted in a Tosui pot I believe.
Asking for 250. plus shipping for this one.

I also have a small ROR Satsuki Tensei No Mai, It is not as full as it is shown in this thread, it had a year in a smaller pot and didn't like it. It is ready to grow though now as it's had a year back into a larger vessel. I think the pot is a Yamakki. Here is the thread I had here on it. https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/tensei-no-mai.50096/ the blooms are amazing perfectly in scale and fully doubled, and rose like. It's also got great roots clasping that rock. It probably will need a cutback this year to encourage all the new growth.
I'm asking $225 plus shipping for this one.

Do these need special overwinter care and protection? I live in zone 6-7. Is this a Azalea a hybridized species? I read that the more hybridized they are the shorted there lifespan is that they slowly deteriorate. I could not find specifics on one listed. I might be interested in them.
Thanks
Zac

I do give them protection in the winter but I’m in a slightly colder zone than you are. I’m sure the crabapple could handle just about anything you get. The azalea has the smaller sharper leaves not the larger rounded ones. I believe this is a trait of the more hardy varieties but I am not expert at knowing this. I don’t keep my cold storage warmer than 30F in the winter so they do get some freezing, but not significant.
If you do pick up both, I’ll split shipping with you.

Ok I'll have to go over budget and talk over with my girlfriend since I have already spent money on bonsai stuff this month. What do you estimate shipping to be $25-50? I'm probably way low
Thanks

I would guess shipping at 50, maybe a bit more.

Ok thank you

Just FYI I will extend the same deal to split shipping with anyone who takes both trees.

It's super tempting..... It would be an honor to have a couple of your trees @JudyB .

 

[JudyB]

Both of these trees are sold, thanks for all the interest!

Too late to the party, I was hoping @Zac 's girlfriend would put her foot down. I, on the other hand wasn't really going to mention it to my husband... he would never notice anyway. Sorry I missed out.

I didn't get them I missed out also. I took to long trying to talk her into letting me buy them. She would notice because I have to ask her to help care for them alot because my work schedule keeps me away from home 12+ hours a day.
Who ever got them is lucky!!!

Judy, any chance you propagated cuttings of the Tensei no Mai? That's a cultivar I have had my eye on for a while.

Not sure, I have a couple cuttings I stuck last year, but not sure if they are this one or something else.

Well if they come into flower and you realize you have a few you don't want, I would be more than willing to buy one or two off you. I'm not necessarily looking for something that can be grown as bonsai, just something that I can grow for the flowers.
