Is anyone familiar with the shimpakus that are being marketed by Iseli? I
bought one last June. It was small and compact to begin with. I put it in the
ground, but it has hardly grown at all (other plants in the vicinity have grown
normally). Superficially, it looks like a dwarf compared to my other Shimpaku.
I am very puzzled by the picture of Shimpaku in the Illustrated Encyclopedia
of Conifers. Is that Shimpaku?

Hopefully Brent will come in on this. I ordered 14 Shimpaku from him in Jan.
and put them in 10 and 12 inch bulb pans. They haven't grown much either,
but I think they have spent the time developing a root system. Have you looked
at the pictures on Brent's site?

Iseli - how does one order plants from them? I stumbled upon their plants
on vacation in California but I have never seen them here at home
(Houston, TX).
I would love to get some more.

Not sure you can. As far as I know, Iseli is a wholesale outfit, athough
they may sell retail on their growing grounds, as few wholesalers do. You
may be able to get your local nursery to order for you if they already do
business with them.

i have a few Shimpakus they easy to work with. There is a variety sold in
my local nurseries distributed by a co. called Fancilful. They in 4" pots.
Some appear to be faster growing than others, which gives me the impression
that they may be different varieties althought it isn't stated. This is my
favorite plant to use for making Bonsai trees as gifts They seem to hold up
better in the hands of my friends

If you are not in one of the states that is mad at California, you should be
able to get what you want from Brent at www.evergreengardenworks.com.
Florida and California are fighting over sudden death syndrome in nursery
plants. Florida wanted California to reveal which nurseries had the disease but
California refused, so Florida banned the entire state. Just before the
embargo I ordered 14 plants from Brent. Most in 2 inch pots but two in 4 inch. I
up potted to 10 and 12 inch bulb pans a few days after arrival and all are
doing well. They survived our brush with Hurricane Charley.

Iseli - how does one order plants from them?

They may be only wholesale. Go to their Web site. Just type in Iseli in your
search engine and click.
