Tree Of Life Bonsai Kickoff!

[milehigh_7]

After a couple years of owning the domain and intending to get this done to reduce eBay fees, my store is up and running. I don't have all my trees added because I need to take more pictures. However I will list them all here and if you want something I don't have, message me and I will get it listed.

Also, I am not sure that all the kinks are worked out with shipping so if you are overcharged, I'll refund it if you are short I'll cover it.

One last thing. Until Monday, use the coupon code BLACK20 and get 20% off your order!

These are 2" size and are $7.11 before the discount
'Wonderful' Edible Pomegranate
Pineapple Guava
Syzygium Australe AKA Austrailian Brush Cherry AKA Lilly Pilly
Escallonia Compacta
Low-Fast Cotoneaster
Ficus Green Gem

There may be more and of course from time to time larger things.

I can vouch for his material. It's always good and healthy, packaged carefully and shipped quickly. Best of luck with the new website!!

OK I'm tuned in. The old link is not working yet.

Mind you these are all little 2" starters. If you are like me, you enjoy growing and developing long-term so for me, it's a lot of fun.
The initial inventory is:
Bougainvillea La Jolla - maybe the brightest red of any boug
Bougainvillea 'Raspberry Ice' - variegated leaves with pink/red flowers (a little small but already blooming)
Ebenopsis ebano 'Texas Ebony' - Really neat desert native. (These are a little small as they are slow growers but really worth it)
Ficus microcarpa - Great beginner tree
Olea europaea 'little ollie' - As the name suggests is a very dwarf, fruitless olive. Awesome little plant. ( Also a little small, I may wait to sell these unless someone really wants one)

I also have some smaller ones that I think I am going to grow out a little before I sell
Ulmus parvifolia 'True Green' - again great beginner tree but not ready so I won't sell these for a while.
Larrea tridentata (Creosote bush) - I am super excited to bring this Southwest US native to the market. It's actually pretty rare to find for sale. Does surprisingly well indoors and even in more tropical conditions. Lots to love with these guys. Super interesting plant.

I just got my packing tape today and I am still waiting on boxes and packing peanuts which will come in the next few days. For now, I'm not sure if I will put the website back up so just E-Bay for now, but I would be happy to do transactions over PMs here. I'm not sure on prices yet but I generally go a bit cheaper for Nut House peeps than I do on E-Bay. Now just pray with me that I get the little fellas through the heat wave!

Awesome bro! Shipping Monday! If you need anything just shout!

Thanks! Tonight we just returned from the Phoenix area for Thanksgiving. Just this morning I noticed there was a TX Ebony with pods at the property we were staying. I might’ve grabbed some.

Looking forward to the jump start!

If you want to germinate TE seeds, dump boiling (literally) water over them and soak them overnight. Bottom heat does help. Floaters won't germinate as they have been eaten by a wevel.

 

[John P.]

Thanks—willl give that a shot. Also read that scarification works, too. Also brought back some Texas Mountain Laurel (I think) pods.

 

[Carol 83]

I ordered a couple LaJolla bougies from Clyde and received them today. They were shipped quickly and packaged so there was no damage. He even includes a very detailed care sheet. Definitely recommend

 

[John P.]

Just received my Texas Ebony from him—all good!

I know @NaoTK was looking for female American persimmons a while back.

For reference I fell in love with Chickasaw plum years ago when a member who passed posted them. Do a search for Chickasaw by member pjkatich. Man he was a great guy.
