Masterpiece
After following @cmeg1 and his thread on his process for propagating JBP seedling cutting, which is really impressive btw. I was so happy when he put a batch up for sale on his eBay store. I just had to have one! This will also be my first JBP, I had been waiting patiently for one of these.
I messaged Curt through his eBay page and asked if he would be kind enough to pick me out one that he would pick for himself. I very quickly got a reply and a picture of a very nice little tree. The transaction was effortless and Curt was very polite and answered any questions I had about supplements and planting. I did not have any pumice or lava rock on hand and he was also kind enough to hold off on shipping for a week until I got my media in.
It shipped the following Monday and was due to be delivered Wednesday. Through no fault of CM Bonsai it was delayed by USPS (surprise surprise…) and it arrived on Friday.
Here is how it arrived. The box was a little beat up, but thats USPS for you.
And I do appreciate how CM Bonsai puts the his nursery certification info and inspection papers for Pennsylvania department of agriculture to ensure smooth shipping
And upon opening I find peanuts…. Lots and lots of peanuts…
I’m starting to think the peanuts are the way to go because this is the second tree I received this day that arrived in perfect condition that was packed in peanuts.
after removing the shrink wrap around the rootball I get a chance to take a good look at this killer little pine tree. It looks awesome for being in a box for a week!
Now on to potting this little guy. As Curt suggested all I had to do was remove the plastic and plop it in 50/50 pumice/lava mix, cube and all. I was impressed by the amount of roots this tiny little cube contained.
And here it is all happy in its new home.
After thanking Curt for the tree and sending some pictures, he told me the color should darken once it gets happy in its new home.
I will say this has been a very pleasurable experience purchasing this little tree from our friend fellow nut @cmeg1 His dedication to what he does and his mastery of his process is truly impressive and it comes through in the quality of his products and the knowledge he shares with us here on Bnut. If you get a chance to purchase one of his trees I highly recommend it and I am looking forward to some of the other species he has in the works. Thank you Curt!
