I guess I'll have to give them a look. I have the Nuccios catalogue printed out ready to do some shopping. Their azaleas were $9 last year and he only charged me $6 for one because he said it was small.

Same here, I can’t wait to visit their nursery, seeing as they are less than two hours away. A truly dangerous thing for my bank account

Are their azaleas grafted or propagated from cuttings?'Momo no haru’ is available at Mr Maple and it is on sale right now. I just ordered a few so have at it.

Did you have any success propagating Juniperus rigida from seed?

I got the rigida seed late winter and didn't have time for cold & hot stratification in fridge so they were put in a seed tray for nature to germinate. Got 3 seedlings come up last spring and hopefully a few more this spring.

All azaleas are grown from cuttings commercially. 3-4 years to market depending on if the nursery sells single stem like Nuccios for nursery stock or Riverbend (a year younger) for bonsai stock).
Dunno about Mr Maple. Many nurseries are stuffing 2-3 smaller plants in one container to make these plants look robust.
Maybe a Mr Maple buyer can weigh in? I do know their shipping is quite a bit higher then Nuccios last order, yet that may just be the recent cost of freight.
btw: Grafting is done to older azaleas to replace branches.

I have bought many plants from Mr Maple but my azaleas I asked them to hold a couple of weeks because I am dealing with a lot of ice currently. I find their shipping to be Very reasonable on everything I have gotten from them. Shipping on the 8 azalea I have coming works out to $5 a piece. And their $35 azaleas are on sale for $20 so landed at my house makes them $25 each. Can't beat it with a stick. Wish I could buy more but I have too much to deal with at present.
I have not bought from Nuccio's yet but I will when I can handle it. They receive high accolades from everyone I know who has bought from them. In some ways they are still stuck in the 20th century but so am I so I can't complain.
I am very happy with the 20+ azaleas I have from Riverbend. We are very lucky to have so many excellent sources in the US.
Sorry, just realized all this azalea talk is ruining the intent of the original post.

Where did you get the book from? Have a different Saikei book on the way from Stone Lantern, another Penjing book on the way and have one on Hon Non Bo. Starting a bit of a collection on 'forest/landscape planting style' books.

You'll have to let me know if it's filled with good information. The Hon Non Bo book I've read had just enough to get me to start experimenting, but not enough to make me confident.

Some of the techniques are dated obviously, it’s from the 60’s but what most useful is the forest layout designs and ideas… still useful today
