Bonsai/ pre- bonsai tree swap

[Eric Group]

Let me know which type you are most interested in and I can post some updated pics. Like I said before- cannot have too many Shimpaku! I can buy Pro Nana, Sargent, Parsons... Anywhere, you only usually get the Shimpaku from "bonsai people"!

I am curiuos if anybody would want some corky-bark sweetgum stumps in return for some cuttings? I am collecting a bunch this spring because they have some really good bark.

Might even have some american hornbeam and hawthorn stumps too if I find some more.

that sounds good to me! I have sorta been thinking about sweet gums as a possible next tree. and I have some cork bark elm cuttings and yatsubusa elm cuttings I might be willing to swap if they make it through the winter...let me know how the collecting goes!

 

[JoeR]

I am collecting the following native species, I will have about 5 give or take of each:

Hawthorn
-White flowers, red-orange berries


Wild blueberry
-Good fall color and plentiful berries, assuming you keep the birds off them!

Sweetgum stumps
Bark varies considerably from rough to very corky

American Hornbeam Stumps
-[Limited] These are no where near as common here as the others so there will be only a few of them for trade.

I took some pictures of the varying bark on the sweetgums:




Some form actual wings like true cork barks and some form detailed rough bark. All four are different trees but still sweetgum.

I'm interested as well...Hornbeam and blueberry and/or hawthorn

 

[JoeR]

No promises.

We'll see.

 

[Eric Group]

I am glad people are using this one as a way to get good trees! I completed multiple tree swaps with people and they all turned out great!

Thanks everyone!!

Being new to Bosai, I don't have much but I'd o have some Bougainvillea cuttings, a Shimpaku cutting, several small Satsuki Azaleas (Autumn Moon, Coral Cascade, Unknown name cutting), and a Twisted Hinoki Cypress (False Cypress) cutting. I may also have a "Coral Bark JM" airlayer. I'm working on two but have not cut them yet.

I would be willing to trade for other varieties of Satsuki, a Trident Maple, maybe a pine or something else unusual (for me).

I have for trade,
Pomegranate seedlings
Gardinia cuttings
Blue jacaranda seedlings
Royal poinciana seedlings
Pawlonia princess seedlings
Blue dwarf Wisteria TREE seedlings
Lychee saplings 2 yr red and yellow
And lots of different Jap maple seedlings and seeds.
I am interested in Satsuki Azalea cuttings or seedlings.

Well you certainly filled the bill for unusual! Several of these look like they wouldn't survive outside in my area. I haven't done enough research yet to tell if they would survive has house guests in the winter, but I have a place in my basement that they would probably winter just fine.

I like JM's do you have any rooted cuttings from a "Butterfly" variety?
The Satsuki's I have are rooted cuttings that I purchased. I bought Six each of the "Autumn Moon" and "Coral Cascade" but received eight or nine pots with at least two to a pot. I got them early this year and they have been growing well. The unknown variety are cuttings from a larger Satsuki I bought in late July. When I pruned it I placed the cuttings in some large pots I had setting around and they seem to be growing well (two are even setting buds for next year). I haven't disturbed them yet so I'm not sure how well they have rooted. It would be best to let them go till early next year.

I do like traditional material, I also enjoy having tropical a indoor through winter. Yes, artificial light is required sometimes, but so worth it for me. Ttopicals grow twice as fast and always seem to have amazing blooms.

I only have JM seedlings for trade, but I do have four of this butterfly

 

[Robert E Holt]

Interested in doing an air layer?

 

[Robert E Holt]

Here are some pictures I just took. The square pots are "Coral Cascade" and the round pots are "Autumn Moon" according to the guy I bought them from. couldn't fined a picture of the "Coral Cascade" flowers but the AM are sort of a lavender to Pink outer edge with white in the middle.

note: tried to post these in a message, but it wouldn't let me.

I would love to buy or trade for a sweetgum! Let me know how the collecting goes.

You very likely may get one. I have quite the supply of them so even if I get a 50/50 collection survival rate there should be plenty to trade/sell.

They should be stumps roughly about 12" tall with 2"-5" trunks.

Sweetgum can have great fall color, and that last one has good movement down low, I like it. In my limited attempts with volunteer sweetgum, the roots are coarse and long-running. If it's loose in the ground, be sure to trench around it every once in a while to keep feeder roots close to the trunk.
