It's seed season
Posted: June 9th, 2019, 11:39 am
End of autumn means seed is ripe on many temperate species.
We have a range of deciduous species in the garden and can supply budding propagators with fresh seed.
All seed freshly collected.
Packets of small seed (eg maple) $3 for around 20 seeds; 50+ seeds $5 and larger quantities by negotiation.
Postage cost: up to 3 packets of small seed $3; larger orders up to 1kg allow $15 delivery
Smaller seed:
*Trident maple - hardy, reliable bonsai favourite
* Japanese maples - we have a range of named cultivars and selected unnamed seedlings. Don't bother asking for specific varieties because seed always has genetic variation so every seedling is different from the parents. If there's some specific characteristic you'd like to try to grow let me know and I can try to select seed from the trees that MAY give some seedlings that MAY have similar characteristics. Usually the choice will be between standard JM - which tend to be stronger, faster growing OR a random selection of seed from various cultivars that will give you a lucky dip of different leaf shapes and tree size.
* Chinese elm
No Chinese quince available this year due to higher than normal bird activity.
Larger seed:
* English oak - acorns $1 each + post cost
PM or email neil@shibuibonsai.com.au for more details or to discuss your requirements.
For those who don't want to wait, Trident and JM seedlings will be available from July - spring again this year.
