Kyle, if I remember correctly, you are near Detroit? What about the bonsai place in Dundee, MI? The Flower Market or some similar name?

 

[Kyleboldy2003]

Yes I am a frequent shopper there. I am probably going to head to the hidden garden near Chicago. But wanted to see if there was any others around that I could have been missing. What is out by you in west Michigan.

 

[queenofsheba52]

Nothing -- absolutely nothing that I know of. Nearest are Hidden Garden and Flower Market.

 

[Kyleboldy2003]

How is hidden garden have you been there. That sucks that there is nothing over there maybe this is your q to open up lol

I believe @Don Blackmond is in southern Michigan somewhere. Gregory Beach Bonsai. http://gregorybeachbonsai.com

The Flower Market or some similar name?

He does have some but I bought what were his largest shimpaku junipers at the time.
He may have more.
Also Meehans Miniatures may have some.

I've communicated with Don and he isn't selling right now.

I haven't been to Hidden Gardens yet but it's on my list; will check out Meehans also . TY@M. Frary!

Hidden Gardens is nice. They have some Walter Pall selected yadmoria (sp?) they have other nice trees, I got a nice Korean hornbeam last year. Various elms, tridents, Japanese maples, junipers. Search for @sorce thread shippin and pimpin. It is about a shimpaku he got there.

 

[Kyleboldy2003]

Thanks casah. How are the prices? Do they have a lot? I am just looking for material so hopefully I can find some

 

[sorce]

I only remember whips and one gallon Shimps....
You could blend a Big Ole US collected J and some Shimp whips....

I think they may see the occasional larger Shimp on a trade, sale, or what have you...
But they wouldnt be "regular" stock.

BC Bonsai.

If you have to time to go see the collection at the Botanical Garden in Glencoe that's worth the $ for a day.

BC Bonsai has 15 acres, with about 5 acres planted with various trees that you dig your self. It is out in Paw Paw, IL. Route 30 and I-39.

They are pre Bonsai, some have been cut back, some not. Some trees are close to 20 feet tall. Prices are reasonable.

They also have indoor and more worked on outdoor Bonsai that they have at their home in Wheaton. You need to call and make an appointment to visit either location. They have a website with phone numbers.

Casah thanks so much. I making a 5 hour trip that way and just want to get to a couple quality places that I can buy material from. Hidden gardens is one and the bc will prolly be another. Now which one to go to first lol
