Juniperus Chinesis Shimpaku

FreedomFighter · 12-19-2007, 12:04 AM

Hi, I'm new to this site and glad to be a member. I am fairly new to bonsai and have been doing much reading for the last year. I have a Procumbens Nana, Dwarf Mungo Pine and two Shimpaku's, all are 5 years old. I bought those young guys to help me learn the wiring, pinching and pruning methods.

My favorite bonsai is the Formal Upright Shimpaku, very hardy, green all year and easy to train because of flexable branches along with it's exotic style that I really like.

Was curious if anybody knew where I can purchase mature Shimpaku in the $300 to $500 range, Formal Upright of course?

Thanks for any help.

Hey freedom fighter,
You may have difficulty finding a formal upright in the shimpaku. They are nearly as scarce as hen's teeth. Far more often you will find them in informal upright, cascade, or literati.
