Importing from japan

Does anyone know how to import trees straight from japan or have any links?
I just cant seem to get the variety of small seedling that i want.

Can't help with import regulations in the UK, but I'd think that importing "seedlings" would not be cost effective.

Thanks Jim,
Does anyone know of any nurseries in the uk that specialize in japanese pine trees ?

What are you after Shane? There are plenty of importers in the UK.

Windybank Bonsai import a comprehensive range of trees from Japan. Very friendly too. info@windybankbonsai.co.uk

Yes i have visited ken a few times and purchased a few bits from him.

I have been looking at pine nurseries in japan on the net and got hooked.

Im looking for somewhere that sells kotobuki black pine, and gin yatsabusa white pine these are the variety's that cought
My eye the most but want to get them as seedlings.

I would have thought Ken Leaver will get you what you want but seedlings or cuttings/ grafts, will be very ralatively expensive.

Thanks Will
I want them as seedling so i can grow them myself and because they are cheaper to buy than
Older trees.

There will be lots of traders at Best of British in April. Are you going?

Lee Verhorevoort did have some good Japanese Black and White Pines so a friend informed the other day when he called in.

Corin at Greenwoods is also worth talking to for certain.
