Mr. Lee of Kaohsiung

Alex. I am curious whether the growers do much grafting. It looks like large trunks and great movement are developed in the field, but do they then graft to create good branch choices & foliage closer to the trunk?

The photo from the national park is really amazing..no doubt this has inspired many bonsai artists.

Thanks for sharing.

There are plenty of juniper in Taiwan. Before, price less. Now, a lot. If buy from Mr. Lee. very expensive. Most first generation field grown juniper almost 40 year old, by cut. Some sold for 30 thousand U.S. dollars. Many export to China.

Thanks Alex.

Would that be 30 thousand for one of the large trees pictured, or the size of the tree you own?
The field growing pictures are a great tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

Great thread thankyou Alex...Wonderful things when material,design and artist's of such quality come together. Magic...

Mr. Todd Ellis,

Price all depends on age and quality. If high mountain quality, more. If in pot more. If initial style, more.

Regards,
Alex

Thank you, Alex. I appreciate the information.
