Ok.

The only place near melbourne that I know of is in sebastion. They do not have a very wide variety but some fat trunked shohin fukien tea.

whoa thank you so much for the help. i just have to get some money and i think i'll come up to vero. thanks for the info on black pine i love the things. yeah you hit it right on the money dbz sounds like we have a lot in common as far as bonsai go. my tropicals are so tough and grow so fast they tend to spoil me a bit. but i can handle the harder species. i've been doing bonsai for a long time and plants but just now i'm starting to get serious about bonsai even more and want to find "my trees" if you will. i think with rons suggestions+cash+trip to vero=my specialties. I CAN'T WAIT!

it's a black pine. i just recently cut off the top candle to encourage side growth so i wont be cutting anything off anytime soon but in the future should i remove those needles in the red circle or do they serve a purpose in the future? can they turn into limbs down the road or are they just needles forever?

No appointment necessary. They are open Mond. through Fri. 8-5. There nursury is joining with another nursury. So just follow the road to the back nursury when you are going.

Yes that information is correct.

Price wise. Jim has huge ficus salicifolia for sale at a fairly good cost (50-400 dollars). You just have to get yourself dirty to pick out one of those.

I forgot to mention. I saw you posted about wanting rocks to make some plantings. Jim has some beautiful rocks which I don't think he sells, but if you sweet talk him he might sell you some.
