I just moved to west asheville and I read on here a few years back of a guy named Martin selling arakawas, I am interested in seeing your stock and willing to drive to you if neccessary.

B.B. barns had some in a 1 gallon pot in Asheville, there were on sale for $20. I don’t know if they have any left or not, there were 6 when I was there Friday.

So, anything @Martin Sweeney sells, I fully endorse. I always thought he was closer to the Charlotte area than Asheville, but I'm not positive. If you can't find any from him or some other Martin, Green Thumb Bonsai in Greenville SC has some smaller ones. If that's out of the question, I'd contact Brent @ EvergreenGardenworks or if you're patient, Mark Comstock on Facebook.

Nuttier than your average Nut
I believe he is on the south side of Charlotte. But that isn't too far from Asheville (at least in terms of bonsai road-trips). Also check with @BradNC. @Martin Sweeney and Brad are both lead members of the Bonsai Society of the Carolinas.

Well the blue is arawaka and the red or coral bark, if they one you have is red then yes it is coral bark. I plan on trying some cuttings of my arakawas in a few weeks, if it works I will let you know.
