This looks like something i want, straight fat trunk... do you all know how much that will cost??

G400,

Thanks so much, learning and practice lor now...
I bought the 2 buddhist pine lor... susah not to buy something..haha

The black pine Bonsailelong bought it 1 for rm100, actually can buy 3, but bought 2 bcoz 1 more sudah kena bayar saman.LOL

The shui mui would be around rm400-500.. if i'm not mistaken. It's already in shape punya.

Min Hoe Yuen is bigger then sanfong... sanfong about 30min finish jalan d. Min Hoe yuen 1 jam pun actual not enough..lol

And we found Giant Boxwood which you will like!! fat and straight trunk . good for formal upright!!!!
Poison poison poison!!!

HI G400x2,

There are many 80% completion single trunk bonsai in San Fong.
If you bring enough RM, no problem in getting what you want.

G400,

you figured out how to bring home the bonsais?

omg... very posioning... hope sanfong don't accept credit card, or else i susah wanna resist my tempatations...

my plan is to removed it from the pot, use plastic to cover the soil area and tie it properly, put the whole tree into box, then tie the base (soil) firmly to the based of the box, with nylon string, and also secure the trunk to the centre. so that even if the box is put on the side or upside down hopefully, the tree stay centre, or else will damage the branches... Hope you get what i mean.. any yes, finally will need to check-in by flight...... that's the plan dunno it will work or not....

great, great... looking forward to the trip...EPF just declare 6.15% dividen... take 1% to buy bonsai...ahahahhaha...oops... luckily my wife not in LYN forum to see this....... LOL

Yesterday, drove 150km to Brunei, CNY visitation to freinds, on the way back, wife and children need nature call, so stop by a large supermarket, with big parking lots, while waiting for them, saw in the distance about 200m away looks something very familiar shapes... so drove over, omg. its chinese bonsai trader next to the car park, with at least i would guess 1-2 thousand tress of bonsai from small to big !!!....
so park the car, get off and have a look.... about 60-70% are 'hokkien tree' bonsai... 'ring ring'' the telephone, my wife calling 'where are you'...
omg time running up... so quickly just grab 2 small 'hokkien tree' bonsai 1.5ft height), cost about Rm60 each.... buying just for the sake of buying....3 mins deal....hahahaha... here is it... your comment whether its worth rm60 each or not..!!!!! the beauty of this deal is that bought these without even my wife noticing it, ask i just tuck them at the back of my 4x4... (PS. oledi got Yellow card from my wife for buying bonsai)

brunei?? which part? i go to Kuala Belait nearly every month

It's next to SUPASAVE parking lot in BSB.

It's next to SUPASAVE parking lot in BSB.

I don't know how's the costs of things over in East M'sia.
But Fukien Tea of tree trunk that size will only costs rm 30-35 over here.

On the other hand, Bonsai is a good hobby and well known world wide.
My "old lady" never nag on me when come to buying bonsai because I've
make her understand that when compare to alcohol, gambling or like somebody (worse case)
go for China Doll not China bonsai.
But when I put my hand on my bonsai, I must finish the job and forget about time and meal
and so I always get yelling from the house " wanna take dinner or just eat your bonsai!"

Hi infrasonic,

Glad to see that you are still around.
How's your 2 trees doing?

They're healthy, at least they are not dying yet
Few days ago I go check my Buddhist pine and so far no more aphids on it, and it grew new leaves! ! Not gonna do anything with it yet coz the roots haven't grown much yet. Could be easily uprooted by the wind xD as for the Juniper, have to wire it soon

My newly bought babies - Black Pine (Pinus thunbergii)

Bought these 2 black pines from Min Hoe Yuen a day ago.
The sifu there couldn't tell is Japanese or Chinese but for sure is a pine specie.

[attachmentid=3311255]

I was told the trees had already in our country since Oct 2011. That means these trees
should have got used to our climate here. (Hopefully.... )
The packing of these trees are difference, the expensive material called geog-textile membrane which
usually used in separation of earth and aggregates in retaining wall back filling were used.

[attachmentid=3311261]

These trees are just straight, too straight and I just can't wait to do an initial shaping to them.
However, there're some real hard bending involved.
Some protections got to be done to the bending points.

[attachmentid=3311273] [attachmentid=3311274]

[attachmentid=3311275] ...wire up.... and bend

[attachmentid=3311277] [attachmentid=3311278] I guess this is for the time been or I may lose another rm200.

With the packing removed, the whole original soil with roots are put in a bigger pot and buried with sand and coconut fiber
black soil mix (1:1). Hope I'm right and not kiss my rm 200 and say bye bye!

Hi G400x2,

Since San Fong can send bonsai by courier services, they sure know how to pack
in such a way with minimum damage to the tree during handling process.
If you plan to take the bonsai you bought up the plane yourself, then you must figure out
how you can bring them up to the sardine packed commuter (train) from Kajang back to KL sentral.
or you might
