Cal juniper

[Dwight]

I probably should wait a year to post this as I'm fighting prostrate cancer at the moment so money could be kinda tight. Anyway , I've developed a real desire for a Cal juni or two. I'm only interested in small ( 2' max ) trees with their own foilage. I've seen some grafted trees at Gary Itto's and they just look like shimps. I'll be in the Pasadena area this June and plan on visiting Fuji and Kimura. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hey Dwight!! Man, I am sorry to hear about your battle...I wish you the very best and hope the outcome is a good one!

Good luck, and I am sure you will find a few Juipers in California.

Don't miss Chikugo-En Bonsai Nursery with Mas and Gary Ishii. They are the grafting masters. They'll have California junipers there, but maybe only big ones.

Thanks Jason.

I went to Chikugo-En in Oct. Found a great Kishu Shimp but all the cal junies Gary had were hugh. One of them was six feet long at least. He said he usually gets big ones in and uses them for demos and sells some to clubs for demos and auctions and such.

I'm kinda hoping to hear from some individuals that collect and would be willing to help me out. I have a friend in the koi biz who could take care of the shipping and he has a friend who does bonsai who would probably help with the packing if the seller didn't want to mess with it.

Art ,
Already tried but the guy he knows doesn't like to sell to anyone he doesn't know. Can't blame really after all the work he puts in them.
