What’s your latest Bonsai related purchase?

[pandacular]

I’d like a white chojubai as a mother plant if nothing else. Much harder to find than the red (though not without reason, I’m told)

Tax man…not that recent of a purchase, but I felt a little sad when I found out that these cutters are available in a bunch of lovely pastel colors!

ARS 140 shears, really incredible workhorse cutter, especially in fatique inducing situations.

My aeroponic propagator will be getting every piece coming off mine.

Got a repotting tray. Hoping winter almost over and repotting season to start soon.

I scheduled mine to be shipped on the 3rd (purchased a while back) and received yesterday. I’m not far from Rochester in shipping miles though.

I picked up a couple of surprisingly sturdy pots made of recycled plastic for relatively cheap. I like the geometric one.

I just made an order online from Musser Forest Nursery for 6 three year old 8"-10" Japanese black pine seedlings. One of our club members received a few and they seemed well worth it for the price. 6 seedlings for $22.02 plus $18.00 shipping. $40.70 for 6 black pines seems like a roaring deal to me. We'll see what arrives.

Keep this one on your bookmarks for next time in case Musser runs out, all their prices include shipping. I have bought their JBP before and while they lack lower branching they are very healthy when they arrive. 10 - 8-20" for 49.95 shipped. $74 for 20... not a bad deal.

I was ABOUT to recommend these folks. I've also been happy with the plants I've received from them.

IIRC they only ship on Mondays so that would make sense.

Also worth mentioning our own @cmeg1. His JBP are hands down the best starters I have ever seen. The plants I received though maybe only 6”tall they already had half a dozen or more branches laiden with several buds each at the tips. His prices have also been more tan fair.

Also,

I got another chojubai…



@RobGA made me do it.

@RobGA made me do it.

And then @yashu made me do it... Just shipped though, no pictures.

Just a chain of peer pressure!

Just a chain of peer pressure!

We're all enabling and cheering on each other's spring impulse buys. Perfectly healthy

This 11” round (probably Chinese made) from a local garage sale. Might suit a JM in the future.

Truth be told @Michigan Tree Murderer made me do this.

Nice! Ha ha thanks. Mr. David W. Fukumoto inspired me. Banyan is my favorite, low and wide like my backside. I'm dying to re-pot the Schefflera I got from @19Mateo83 they're tough tropicals, very forgiving of my rookie mistakes. Scale bugs love em as well as Aphids. Where did you get it from? They grow pretty fast too. Good luck.

I blame @shohin_branches, as I just purchased a Sekka Hinoki, white Chojubai and a training pot from Int’l Bonsai. If I don’t post for a bit, my wife may have had something to do with it….

Photo is a great maple in my neighborhood. Hoping the new trees arrive late next week!

For those who are curious what the Anderson Bands actually look like. I was initially disappointed in the thinness of the plastic walls, but it will probably be for the best when I go to extract them. All if the bands nested together hold the pot shape and the Anderson flat makes handling easy.

I placed the AB34 (the smallest band) inside of a spare Anderson Flat I had sitting around to plant some seedlings in. When placed into the Anderson flat, The bands look like they will hold garden soil or the larger substrate particles. As I was using smaller particles mixed with Coco-coir, I had my doubts the soil would hold in place until the roots occupied the space. So I just place a drainage layer to hold my small substrate in place in lieu of window screen. Seems to have worked for now.
