Look hard and you will find one eeiko.

champion i admire your hopes & comfort...lol
but seriously, do you even have any idea how LONG it will take a seed to grow into something liek that?!?!?!?!?
he just mentioned that his tree was 15 - 20 years old..whether that was completely time in the pot...or a trunk chop...is unsure.....
can you imagine yourself in 20 years? id be 46 man........!
apparently atropupureum is very different to Deshojo...
atropurpureum has natrually very large leaves and not suitable for bonsai cultivation... and has very coarse growth. experts describe them as "Inferior"
the colour is more of a Crimson and burgandy coloured....
not Bright red like the Deshojo...shindeshojo or Chishio palmatums.....
although they are the most common seeds sold online.....
the Seigen is bright pink....
seigen and deshojo are not really available in seedlings...
they are grafted or cuttings from the parent/hyrbid palmatum tree...
