Well all I am back from my trip to BMW, the business trip went well and still allowed me a little time to check out Green Thumb Bonsai Nursery. I did not get a bunch of pictures as it was getting dark and I needed to focus on picking something for myself
. I did not get any pics inside the greenhouse but it was great in there.
John Green runs the shop, he is a joy to talk with! John if you are reading this sorry for calling you Don
John recently purchased a whole bonsai nursery from California. He has some of the BEST material I have ever seen!!!! His prices are very resonable and it only cost me $15 to ship two trees (hokkaido elm and japanese maple) back to Michigan (I'll post picks when they get here).
This is the best nursery I have ever been (havn't been to many but...)!! His web site is not updated with the new stock because he wanted to make sure it is all healthy after the move. He has nearly anything you want. If you are looking for something in particular shoot him a line and he will go looking and snap some pics.
He has the best hokkaido elms I have ever seen. Many Japanese black pines, hornbeams, boxwoods, maples (trident, japanese, corkbark), stewartia, ezo spruce, flowering apricots, crabapples, beech, shimpaku (large ones) and many wonderful collected bald cypress.
This place is well worth the trip!! If you are anywere near there go. In addition to the small yard that I saw he has two other farms full of material that I did not get to see!!!!!!! Call for appointment. Look for his add in the back of the new ABS Journal.
