Wanted to trade: Two nice little Maples............

[abqjoe]

I'm wanting to see what's out there in the form of a trade and I have these two quality pieces to put up. 1 Kotohime which is 35-40 years and was obtained through Don Blackmond and comes in a nice Japanese pot. This tree is 9.5" tall from the soil line and was just root trimmed and repotted into Bonsai Jack soil 6 weeks ago. The second tree is a root over rock Trident also from Don Blackmond which is 25-30 years old and measures 7 3/4" from the soil and is also in a nice Japanese pot. This tree too was root trimmed and repotted into Bonsai Jack soil 6 weeks ago. Both tree's are leafing out nicely and are absolutely thriving!

I'm looking to do a 2 for 1 deal for the right Maple but will consider other species. I'm only looking for quality tree's (please keep that in mind when making me an offer so that nobodies time is wasted). PM offers with pics here on the forum, thanks!

Would you maybe just sell the Kotohime?

If there's anything of mine you want for the trident let me know man!

I have nothing to trade...but a photo of each out of leaf/dormant may peak more interest.

I like both... what kind of size tree you looking for? IOW- you want small and developed or big and "promising"? I'm assuming the later or you wouldn't be moving away from the two smaller/ developed trees?

 

[abqjoe]

@Eric Group I wouldn't mind something bigger and promising (but nothing totally undeveloped) but I'm not against something small/mid-sized and developed either. Just seeing what's out there really

You need some fungicide on that trident over rock like right now and for the next few weeks. Anthracnose.

I might suggest treating all as a preventative measure.

There's no fungus on this tree!

Just want to put this out there...Al/Smoke knows his trees...and he has a few maples and years under his belt...I questioned the leaf shape myself...that he pegged a fungus. Made sense. But, hey...don't treat with a fungicide. Your trees...

I treat as a preventative myself. Tomorrow is Liquid Copper fungicide for all my trees.

yea joe, hate to nag on here, but the leaves look deformed a bit, like your watering with poor water, or there is a Ph lockout issue or it needs some micro nutes and fungicide or something. seems like the rock and legs are a bit calcium or salt coated. could be wrong that was just my first impression.

I got some newly collected rather large crab apples. I'd trade one for the taller tree.

Yea I wouldn't treat it. You know everything. Keep on truckin.

Treated it anyway just in case

I would quarientine it away from your other trees. I always do that if I have a known issue with one. Until properly treated for a few weeks and it's under control.

How about both trees for my JBP 2 year old seedling? Sounds fair?

Mods please close this thread down, thanks!

Mods please close this thread down, thanks!

1.Why is that...that you ask one to close it down?
2. There are no mods.
3. You were NOT specific in what you were wishing to trade. If the one offended you with the mention of JBP... ? You need to grasp...you left a broad opening for such suggestions.
