STOLEN TREES: Australian Help
G, day Pup here I am asking for Help.
One of my Students and a good friend has just been ripped off. Over night he had stolen four (4 ) trees we have pics of Two ( 2 ) The Black Pine is appox 450 mms High ( 18 inches ) in a Mica pot. Slanting Shimpaku is about the same hieght in a Korean stoneware Pot. Informal twin trunk The other Two trees we do not have pictures for are a Ulmus chinensis suberosa ( Corky bark elm ) approx 500 mms ( 20 inches ) trunk diameter 80mms ( 3inches ) Slanting style in a Mica pot. The other tree is an informal upright Melaleuca golden gem approx 550mms ( 21 inches ) high in a green blue mica pot. I am as upset as he is so I would appreciate any help. Pup

Chopped Liver?

Gday Pup.
This is grim news indeed, and I'm always sorry to hear it. I assume that this student and his stolen trees are in Western Australia somewhere. (Of course, in the age of the Internet, your student/mate could be almost anywhere in the world...) Could you please provide us with a very rough location from which the trees were stolen? This may help when people visit markets and such in the local area. Thanks, and good luck. Fly.

G,day Fly sorry I did not think of that. The area concerned is indeed in Perth metro. Gosnells-- Huntingdale. The Canning vale markets are not far away but garage sales abound in all areas. We have been in touch with the Bonsai Nurseries I will let the people in the Bonsai society know tomorrow night. Thank you for pointing that out. Yours in Bonsai Pup

Pup This is dreadful news and I am sorry to read this. These people who do this type of crime are very low. Hope things get resolved soon and the trees are reunited with the owner. These are our children.

Bummer Pup
So sorry to hear but unfortunately it is all to often occurrence. One of the teachers at "The School of Bonsai", George Reissis, had several Trees pinched from his backyard. about 18 months ago. The permanent display we kept at Auburn Botanic gardens is no longer open due to Tree theft occuriing all too often As hs been mentioned before, stolen Trees are rarely found due to I suspect them being taken by people commissioned to do so. Local Hoodlums would not do it as they would not know where to dispose of them. Kne
