What’s your latest Bonsai related purchase?

[pandacular]

over a year coming . Lack of sources of Primarily JWP lead to asking a specialist nursery to piggyback there order from iseli nursery . Several I asked for were denied . But here they are . First up Joe’s Bess bristlecone pine . Next Catherine Elisabeth JWP . Last Fukuzuma JWP . All ordered sight unseen . All in 3 gallon pots . I’m happy with the BC graft and the CE . The fuku not so much . ( my original thinking that it’s listing as prone to multi trunk ) might hide the graft best . But it’s all good . The first 2 have nice grafts and dwarf needles . I’ll most likely start threads on these . Any thoughts welcome

Looks like a nice haul! I’m curious if you know what root stock Iseli uses for their white pine. I’ve tried contacted them to no avail, but perhaps you know after this.

My latest bonsai purchase is from Stone Lantern: a Kaneshin 8B, narrow concave cutter for creating deadwood, as well as a few copies of Jonas’ book to add to the extensive library at the Pacific Bonsai Museum.

Last spring they answered the root stock . Question all there JWP are grafted on mugo . For the previous 8 years . Before that about 50 percent . I’m unsure of the BC , there use of mugo makes sense . 2 fold one most of the JWP are dwarves . So dwarf root stock . But most likely it’s from there . Extensive program in recent times to create new mugo cultivars . I’m assuming they have a lot of mugo .

Bought this discount black pine at the club meeting. It has some health issues, looks like it may have been decandled last year and from what I can tell it's a Scots pine so first year will be rebuilding health.
