I went shopping for Ponderosa Pine yamadori

[parhamr]

And I found 10 reasons to spend money!

I’ve flagged these trees at Randy Knight’s “Farm” so I can haggle and/or barter for how much he wants for them. If the price is right, I’m hoping to take home 3 or 4 of them. Trees H, J, and K are most tempting to me.

These are from his 2017 collecting trips, so they wouldn’t be ready for potting and styling until about 2020.

Great looking trees, does Randy have a web site?

The deadwood on K is gorgeous!

Oh if that is the case then pretty reasonable. Thanks for clarify that. I always thought they are unreachable to common folks like me.

Lot's of great Ponderosas to chose from there... now where are the Juniper pics?

Lawdy, I would love to pay $500 for each of these trees.

It seems we have a different understanding, here. Tree K is in the low 4-figure range.

Maybe the size and scale of these trees is not clear. They’re variously in 16" Anderson flats and 10–15 gallon nursery cans.

It has also been wet in Oregon, so the deadwood is not as apparent as it could be. Trees B and G are the smallest. Several of these trees are 4 feet tall.

This is the Pines forum, buddy

Maybe the pictures don't do justice or you should go to Harrisburg or Chicago to shop.

When you say Harrisburg are you meaning here in Oregon?

As much as it sounds like it would be a good idea to buy from Randy Knight direct, you know Ryan Neal would pick out the best ones first.

Walter is shipping a full semi truck load out east, from Oregon.

wow! a semi load? thats a bunch of trees.
The sellers must be thrilled!

 

[mattspinniken]

From the pics alone I would say J and K would be my top choices.

 

[Wilson]

Enjoy deliberating over these beauties! Portland seems like a bonsai paradise!

 

[Vin]

I do not own a single pine. However, along with your choices I would add E to the mix. I hope you end up getting the ones you want. Good luck.
