I have decided to offer my substantially large English Oak Bonsai for sale. Over the years I have gotten older, and the tree whilst once upon a time I could move with relative ease, I can no longer do so. Collected during the mid 1990′s from North Wales it has been extensively trained since that time.
Repotted during late winter early spring of 2011, so no repotting required for quite some years. Much choice is open to a new owner to keep at this height or reduce accordingly. It is currently just over one metre tall and around 60-80cm wide at the widest point. Trunk diameter is an astonishing 34cm. The pot is a Mica one and would not be considered inexpensive. Potted in pure sieved akadama, aqua grit and propagating bark. very free draining and very healthy. No damage from recent winters and currently fed on organic feeds only. All I do in terms of treatments, is a preventative spray for mildew prior to bud burst and then six weekly thereafter.
I’m up for a part exchange for a smaller tree; perhaps a Juniper or whatever outside species that may interest me. I am advertising this tree at a bargain price of £1200. I cannot post nor deliver. It will require two strong people to collect. I am available to help and give one to one advice and any assistance you may need. Please use the contact details if you would like to view. Images below. At the very bottom are images as taken today out of leaf and for size purposes a scale. Hundreds of buds can be seen on the bottom two images.









This is a great tree Mike, would grace and collection
Thank you Tony. As with most 2D images it does indeed look spectacular up close and personal. Hopefully someone will realise the price is a steal
Take care
Mike
