The shibui bonsai collection has been gradually expanding over the past 20 years. It has now reached the stage where even I have to admit I have too many trees to look after properly. The dilemma is which ones to sacrifice. I have grown nearly all my bonsai from seed or cuttings so they all have a great deal of history and personal meaning for me. Last winter I lined all the trident maples up and had a critical look at them and found that I have quite a few that are similar. That helped to make a decision though it is no less painful. In the end I have decided to allow these 2 trees to go to new homes and give someone else some enjoyment. If you’d like more details or photos of either of these please drop an email – neil@shibuibonsai.com.au
