Do you have pictures of the salmon chojubai? Curious how big the plants he ships out are, as well as what the flowers look like. I cant find a single picture of a salmon chojubai, but I have one coming anyway next weekA box full of quince from Evergreen Gardenworks.
“Chojubai Red”
“Contorted Salmon Pink”
“O Yashima”
I’m ready for the flowers already

Two boxwood and a VA Creeper from Lowes clearance, none of which I need. Virginia Creeper grows all over the place but this one intrigued me. Second picture shows what I roughly plan to do with it which involves fusion of the two trunks. The boxwood had nice rough bark trunks and nice roots, but growth is very stiff and upright. Still, we will see what I can do. Crazy to buy they because I get all the box I want free. I have several growing now that were pruning s simple stuck in the ground and never cared for, that are now well rooted.
Boxwood variety is Saturn, one I never heard of.

Make sure to share pics! I've been wanting a desmodium but haven't made the purchase yet.
I've got a BRT, chojubai, salmon chojubai, and Hong Kong kumquat coming this week
I will. They're just the cheap little ones. I wanted to test how they do inside for the winter first. I know soon it will be too cold to have things shipped, so I impulsively ordered a few things to tide me over until spring. New lights should be arriving today.

You won't regret it. It never skipped a beat being brought inside. Grows like a happy weed and blooms non stop!

I got one from Wigert's about 2 months ago. I was surprised how large it came to me. It is inside under light and growing like a weed.
Also, where did you get your Kumquat if you don't mind my asking.

My new “small” pot arrived today in the most oversized box ever. Cat for scale.
It was a box inside a box inside a box inside..etc. I appreciate how well packaged it was but opening it was like some twisted party game.
The pot itself might need to be repacked back up (oh the joy) as it’s color is not what I had envisioned. I’ll have to have another look at it in daylight tomorrow before I decide. That’s the one drawback of ordering via picture, sometimes the glaze color looks quite different when seen with the naked eye and not a camera lens.

The little 4" or 6" pots wigerts sells for a couple dollars? Thought about getting some too but didn't want to buy just a couple 8 dollar cuttings haha.I will. They're just the cheap little ones.

Those $8 cuttings are pretty beefy and have very well developed root systems. I have 8 of them and the nice thing is that they vary so much from plant to plant that they give you quite a variety of design options.
Have you watched their video on wiring these young plants? It is worth watching.
Group of 3 in first pic. One on left is a bit light but very healthy. Pic on right is two that I am attempting to fuse together. One of the two already had multiple trunks. Sorry about the photo quality.

I get it, but I don't have room inside right now for their big pots and I want to see how they do here first. Plus, I splurged a little on something else.

I've been out to New Mexico a couple of times now. There are spectacular Junipers all over the place. But the Alligator Junipers, especially on really large old trees, that bark is an absolute thing of beauty. Saw some very large old specimens out in Gila in particular. I collected a number of Juniper seeds (I think there are 3 main varieties) but not one sprouted for me. Good luck with yours Leo.
