So, I am finishing up repotting stuff... I have some really nice looking Satsuki Azaleas! Growing like weeds, lots of roots.. I will try to post more pics this week of some stuff I am willing to trade. Most the Azalea cuttings were done a few weeks ago, show dramatic growth and should be ready to ship.
I have a couple decent little Shimpaku that are also ready for swap, but I should have dozens more next Spring!
Elms-
Jackie Hiller:I have a couple that are super healthy,pretty small but they are fast growers. I read they trunk up pretty quick if you grow them out.
Winged: I have two or three small ones collected from my rental property last year, these are larger than cuttings. Can post pics if anyone wants to see them.
Maples- again, Rubrums out the wazoo!
Trident... A couple cuttings from last year are... Struggling. Not sure if I want to get rid of any of them right now. I have ONE I would trade for something cool.
JM- I have some regular old Momiji seedlings... Would be willing to trade one. I am trying about 35+ cuttings this year- most have been rooting for 1-2 months and nearly every one leafed out strongly and is looking good. Might have my own Maple tree farm this time next year!
Just some additional info on what I have to offer.
I have acquired a Chinese Quince from a friend, and I plan on starting a little tree army from it, so I do not need that species any longer..
Still looking for Chojubai, most any type of interesting Maple, JBP, JWP, JRP (Pines I have found difficult to propagate from cuttings, so I will take as many as I can get...), Scott's Pine, Crabapple, Toyo Nishiki Jap quince... Throwing in a new option as well: pots, wire, tools... Got some laying around you don't want/ need? Rather have a new tree to play with? I am always in need of wire! Always looking for more pots as I am potting trees now into actual Bonsai trays at a rapidly increasing pace... Need some better concave cutters- mine are junk!- and I need a good pair of wire cutters, not the scissor style... Lemme know if anybody wants to trade!
Adding some pics of what I have up for swap, just to give you an idea of what I am offering. Some super healthy Satsuki! Oh, and for the guy in Lebanon, I do have some smaller ones... I don't know how to get it to your wife though. Where will she be in America?
Japanese Flowering Quince- Dark Pink/ Red blooms, very pretty!
Shimpaku. Small, but healthy, good roots... Should grow like a weed next year when it is really established. Put it in the ground and I bet it will expand quickly for you! I have a couple around this size or a little bigger. The one behind is one of the "twists" I did this year, not looking to get rid of it.
