Acer palmatum 'Shishigashira'

[opus1]

Hello all!

I visited a nursery today to see some trees.

The first tree in the pictures is Acer palmatum 'Shishigashira', I'm planning to purchase this tree soon.

I've seen larger Shishigashira trees both online and offline, but from my perspective, rarely have I encountered anything better than this one.










And sharing some pictures of other trees there, enjoy!

So funny to see this, when I've literally been wondering lately why we never hear much about Korean bonsai. Here it is!

I'm not sure about the UK, but Korean bonsai prices are much cheaper than in the States.

Wow, the Shishi is incredible. Definitely something to aspire to. what is the tree in the last picture? the trunk is massive and the bark is has all those different colors. Very interesting.

The tree in the last picture is Chinese quince(Pseudocydonia sinensis).

That's a very awesome tree and it would cost a fortune if you want to buy something like this overhere in the EU.

Can you give us a indication of the price?
