Or, "creative." >> Not sure what you mean by that. I paid $11 for the plant, club discount. Nurseries are selling it for $12 or $13. They could make more money if they labeled it 'Kishu Shimpaku.'

Re: [IBC] Shimpaku Juniper
Suggestion:
Many of the local nurseries sell Shimpaku. These can usually be acquired for a nominal cost are at least 6-10 years of age. Like anything, you will need some substance, i.e., sufficient branch selection options and foliar mass to construct the bonsai illusion. Smaller specimens acquired from mass producers of extremely young species will require as much as 5 to 10 years befor e you can really expect to begin to accomplish anything. I have a Shimpaku that I have been growing for nearly 15 years, and it is only now ready to either be sold as prebonsai material or styled. It's amazing, but I am actually developing some patience in this art. );-) Cordially, Michael Persiano members.aol.com/iasnob ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** >>-->> The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ <<--<< +++++ Questions?

I already have a 'Shimpaku' cascade which I styled a year ago May with Bill Valavanis. It is still a baby but it is coming along and I can't complain. I also have this little 'Kishu Shimpaku' which I bought in June and put in the ground. I will dig it up in the fall, because I don't think it will be quite hardy in the ground. When I examine it closely I will decide what to do next. It is definitely a shohin candidate. I don't need any more Shimpakus, thank you. Trying to decide if I need a Pinus sylvestris 'Hillside Creeper.'
