Here's one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183860046675?ViewItem=&item=183860046675

Thanks for the reply and information. Coming from you, your reassurance does provide me with peace of mind! I didn't know if I had been too complicated by using the kanuma in my mixture, when I usually just use Boon's mix. Thanks again!

I just repotted my Kishu Shimpaku in 1 part Akadama, 1 part Kanuma, 1 part Lava. It was in 100% akadama. I just wanted to make sure that using the 1 part Kanuma didn't add too much acid to the soil. Is this a good soil mix, or should I repot it swapping out the Kanuma with pumice. I've...

@Stickroot How much do you want for the fat boy? :)

I asked Brian Underwood the following earlier. I also wanted to post this message, to you see what you all had to say, so that it may help others who have similar questions. I haven't found a lot out there on Coastal Redwoods, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I asked him...

Thanks for the information...I agree with you...I wouldn't buy trees that were collected at that time. Sorry, didn't know. Good luck with your search! :)

This guy on ebay usually has a lot of bald cypress listed for sale. He doesn't currently have any listed, but I'm sure he has a bunch still. I think he only lists bald cypress. Contact him, I'm sure he has what you need. Good luck and here's the link...

Thanks for the responses! Anyone with experience with granules with bonsai would still be helpful. Thanks!

I'm about to use the Bayer Granules for the first time. Will it hurt trees if you apply a little too much? Directions say to use 2 teaspoons for a 1 gallon container. How should I judge how much to use on small pots? Most of my trees are in pots smaller than 6". Does anyone have experience...
