thats a point - I'd possibly steer towards a Chinese Juniper - they will give you more hands on work and easy to care for |

Well thanks for your advise and interest ...... again!  Japanese pines seem hard to come by of a decent size and at this sort of price range, so I thought I was doing OK with the ones on offer and shown in the picture. Corin, if you have something better in the same price range I would be very interested to have a look. Please post some pics or point me in the right direction on the website. I've got a Chinese Juniper. Actually, I've just spent an hour easing all of my trees out of their pots and most of them need re-potting. I can see what people mean regarding Acadamia breaking down after a couple of years. I might be shopping for cat litter later at Tescos! By the way, what's the best tool or implement for combing out the old soil from around roots? Cheers.

Corin will have a bigger selection than what he has posted on his website! there is one on there for £65 but last time i was at greenwood they had quite a few of them in that price range. |

Just checked. We currently have 13 of the ones at £65 including the one that was already on the website. I have listed 5 more. You should be able to see all 6 at this link: http://www.bonsai.co.uk/search.php?mode ... ice_max=66 They are smaller then the ones you were looking at. But they also cost £35 less. |
