Trees for Bonsai

200. Tree # 200P838. SOLD Species: Ponderosa pine. Estimated age: 125 years. Collected 11/2023. Price: $775. Estimated shipping: $210. Comments: Great character.

I've heard that the arches in a medeival cathedral are meant to feel like a forest arching overhead. This is one we got to go into in Belgium. I tried, but I didn't feel like I was in a forest. But it was inspiring.

202. Tree # 202P843. Species: Ponderosa pine. Estimated age: 35 years. Collected: 11/2023. Price: $200. Estimated Shipping: $55. Comments: A stout pine with dense foliage and a nice base.

205. Tree # 205S143. Species: Black Hills spruce. Estimated age: 35 years. Collected: 06/2024.

Price: $150.

Estimated shipping: $50. Comments: A very nice small spruce with good curves and a well placed first branch.

206. My favorite collecting team: Judy, Pearl and Gallagher.

207. A graceful cascading pine I really liked. Notice the buds turned up towards the sun. It's probably 40 years old and definetly collectable, in fact, at some point gravity will probably make it lose it's grip. But I don't have a place to grow it and keep the foliage off the ground. So it has a mountain home.

Species: Austrian pine.

Estimated age: 15 years.

Nursery 2015.

209. Tree# 209P820. SOLD Species: Ponderosa pine. Estimated age: 30 years. Collected: 4/2024. Price: $150. Estimated shipping: $70. Comments: A short, stout pine that should be fun to work on.
