WTB smaller JBP

[Jaberwky17]

I'm looking at JBP in the $150-175 range online and I thought I'd rather that my money go to a BNut member if there is a choice in the matter. Looking for something with a decent trunk/base, height and foliage volume isn't as important as good lower tree character. Just one tree. Would also consider another long needle pine - scots, Austrian, shore, etc.

It would need to be shipped.

You can also try Muranaka's ebay store. These trees generally include free shipping. If nothing on there appeals to you, give him a call. He is very patient and accommodating.

Nice trunk size, could use a lot more character in the bark. Good branch placement, but that comes from being trained as bonsai. The gentle curve of the trunk is what drew me in - I can see this nice empty trunk being accented by carefully planned tufts of foliage. Maybe even stretch this one out nice and wide at the crown... There is some pretty decent nebari as well but I didn't photograph that. I like the size of this one.



That's not a graft line - it's just dark where a piece of wet newspaper from shipping got some poo-pellets on it and stained.
