The rare cultivar... and where you can buy them thread

[Veebs]

Anyone interested in a "group buy" for beni chidori next spring send me a message.

Also, I asked Matt from Mr. Maple, and they do have Beni chidori. If enough of us keep pestering them I think they will work harder to produce it. That happened with Deshojo. I think they had prioritized other newer cultivars but Deshojo sold so well that it's now one of their top sellers. They will be grafts of course, but at least we can get parent trees to begin propagating when they release it.

Anything ever come of this?

I'm actively propagating 6 varieties of black princess persimmon, each with different fruit shapes and very different leaf shapes and sizes

I had Naruto trident for a while and started to propagate it, but then got rid of it (at the time I found it looked 'messy' as a trident bonsai in leaf, and did not have any advantages when bare, but nowadays I'd probably keep it around). I'm still in touch with the guy who bought it from me - I'll check with him to see if he still has it and, if so, I'll take a bunch of cuttings this spring.
