Spring has been conducive to recovery this year and trident maples have powered away after transplant from the grow beds last winter. I now have new roots showing in drain holes of the orchid pots which is a good indication the trees are ready for shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve just uploaded the trident maple catalogues to the catalogue page – https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/?page_id=215<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This year I have a few Chinese elms but they just need a few more weeks more for recovery. There’s also some good looking Prunus, mostly the abundant flowered Prunus ‘Elvins’ grown specially for bonsai but also a smaller number of feral plums collected from nearby roadsides and wild places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n later, because they are so much slower to recover I’ll post the few pines and Shimpaku junipers I potted up this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As usual, the Shibui Bonsai nursery is filled to overflowing with smaller and less advanced potensai so if you’re just looking to start with smaller, cheaper trees send me an email and we can discuss what would suit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those with an eye to something unusual Shibui Bonsai has a few varieties of Satsuki azalea, Chojubai dwarf Japanese quince, Dawn redwood and other rare and unusual species for bonsai. Please ask if you’re looking for something different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spring has been conducive to recovery this year and trident maples have powered away after transplant from the grow beds last winter.
