I want to try a Phoenix Graft and am having trouble locating Shimpaku
Junipers in my area. I have no bonsai nurseries within an hours
drive. At a landscape place i saw some Leyland Cypress that looked
like they had the necessary characteristics (long slender trunks) Has
anyone tried with this specie, or can you refer me to an expert ?

Check out Brent Watson's site: www.evergreengardenworks.com for some
nice Shimpaku rooted cuttings that are about 12 inches long in 2 1/4 sq. pots.
I just took delivery on a dozen in Jan.
