Rare Japanese cultivar Pomegranates.
1gal pots.
Started Spring/Summer 2020.
Reduced/pruned into single trunk-line every winter and was wired into a nice spiral/corkscrew when young for nice movement.
$25 each.

What's left...

1x - Omi
Orange red single flowers with very prominent yellow anthers. Sets lots of edible 4” fruit.

3x - Toyosho
Salmon pink double flowers (very nice and my fave). Sometimes/rarely sets smaller 2-3” fruit. Grown more for flowers, than edible fruit. Flowers are smaller 1.5-2” too.

3x - Evergreen's Red Dwarf. Similar to the rare Emperor cultivar.
Semi-dwarf to about 5’ tall if never pruned. Orange red single flowers with tiny 2” fruits (like the Emperor cv), sometimes darker/mahogany in color. Grown more for its' dwarf-size, twiggy'ness (great for bonsai) than edible fruit.

-----

San Jose Juniper.
5gal pots with +1" trunks.
Unpruned and just letting it grow out to develop fatter trunks for now.
2 left.
$80 each.

Note: San Jose Junipers are not to be mistaken with the cheaper, more common, much smaller, ground-cover Procumbens Nana Juniper Bonsai like you'd normally find in Home Depot, Armstrong or other nurseries. San Jose (similar to Prostrata Juniper) grow much much larger, nicer trunks and are naturally a large, wide, but low growing plant (5-6' wide and 3-4' tall if never pruned).

-----

Portulacaria Afra, Elephant Bush.
Small/short bonsai w/ fat chunky +1.5" trunks and very nice trunk taper and movement.
Trunk chopped every year (from +3' tall plants) to form a nice taper, best movement and trunk line.
4 left.
$40 each.

The one in the 2-3gal pot, is very nice too with lots of ramification and nice branch structure. One of the branches are semi-cascade to cascade.
That one is $100 obo.

Also have a larger (3-4' tall), +30yo "specimen" that I've been training/pruning for several years (mostly "clip & grow" directional pruning). Super nice branch structure, pads and tons of ramification.
$380 obo.

This one will require a 2nd passenger to hold it safely in the car. As Portulacaria Afra are kinda soft & brittle and will break branches easily if the pot/plant falls over.
You can probably also lay it sideways in the trunk or rear seats, with foam or small boxes to hold/support the trunk, to give room/space for the branches.

Firethorn Pyracantha
1 gal pots
Started 2020.
Reduced/pruned into single trunk-line every winter and wired into a nice spiral/corkscrew for movement.
1 left
$25 each.

-----

Older Red Dwarf and Omi Pomegranates.
5 gal pots.
Couple years old, around +7yo by now (on 2023).
1-1.5" trunks.
Reduced/pruned into a single trunk-line and trunk chopped (from 3-4' tall plants) every winter and bent with wire for nicer movement.
1 of each.
More expensive than the smaller 1gals obviously, $80 each.

-----

Snake plants
2.5gal pots
Very tall and older, 4-5' tall. (much bigger than the $39 ones at Home Depot)
3 of them.
$35 each.
Also have a few variegated (yellow edges) ones in 1gal pots for $20ea.

-----

Clivia Miniata
2-3gal pots
5-6 of them
$25 each.

-----

I also have a couple extra Japanese Sweet Flag and rare Chinese Lucky Grass in 1gal pots.
$10ea for the Sweet Flag
$20ea for the more rare Lucky Grass.

-----

Available Late Summer or Fall 2024:
Japanese cultivar Japanese Flowering Quinces (Chaenomeles) in small 2-3/4" & 4" pots.
Iwai Nishiki (double-flower, very vibrant pure red)
O Yashima (double-flower, pure bright white)
Kan Toyo (dwarf, single-flower, multi-color w/ mixed white & pink petals. Like a mini Toyo Nishiki)
$20ea

-----

Available Summer 2024:
Air-layered Japanese cultiver Japanese Maples.
NO ugly, bulging graft-unions (perfect for bonsai)!

Note: Pretty much All the JMs you'll find at local nurseries or even online will be "grafted" for easy/fast mass-production; but, their big Con is it'll always have an ugly, bulgy graft-union.

Since these are rare, highly-desired air-layers and take 1.5 years to make (first air-layer on the tree for 6-9 months, then another 6-9 months to root/establish into their new, current pots), these will be much more expensive than nursery/online grafted JMs (air-layers are intended for more serious/advanced bonsai aficionados).

Small 1gal & bigger low-profile 12-14" wide pots (nursery pots chopped down) available.
1gals: inquire within for price
12" wide low-profile pots: inquire within for price

Shin Deshojo: 1x 1gal & 1x 12" pots avail
Kiohime / Kiyohime: 3x 1gal pots avail
Akaji Nishiki: 3x 1gal pots & 1x 12" pots avail
