[namnhi]

Hi all,
It is that time of the year again. This is what I bought for myself as Christmas gift. Haven't been this happy since my kids were born. Just got it yesterday.
I hope one of them is a female!

Oh nice!
Is the Princess Persimmon different than the Common Persimmon?

Very cool Namnhi, looks like a lot of fun. You could make a PP forest, would be the first one I've ever heard of.

And as they grow or need trimmed put all clippings into the ground or a cup of water to try and propagate(they say they propagate easily) you could end up with a ton of these. I for one would be willing to purchase some small rooted clipping once you have some.

This didn't cross my mind since I see most of them as a single tree. Will keep that in mind. The plan for now is to keep them single and see if any of them will be a female. Thanks.

Hey,
I have a few seeds I purchased after the trade. Currently in fridge. You can count on getting a couple if they grow.

Yeah. Hope I will learn how to graft soon.

I got more experience to gain. Just dive in with us!

Here are my last trees purchased in 2017:

3 1-gal Japanese Beech from @Brent at Evergreen Gardenworks. The plan is to start a 3-tree clump in the Spring.

These look really nice, Brian. Good luck with the project.

Already started another thread about these trees before I noticed this thread. My apologies for that.
These starters I purchased just yesterday.

First pic:
3 European hornbeam (I already sold the one on the top right in the blue pot to another newbie in my bonsai club)
1 Zelkova (bottom right)
1 Japanese Maple (on the left)

And the I also bought this Trident a couple of weeks ago:
