Title: Japanese nursery
Post by: WimB on March 09, 2010, 08:56:22 PM: Today I found the link to an interesting japanese nursery which I really wanted to share.
They have loads of interesting plants, e.g. a double white flowering Anemonopsis macrophylla, a double flowering Coptis,... It's a shame they only seem to have thumbnail pics of the plants they grow. Here's the link to their site:

Unfortunately, none of the Japanense nurseries ship overseas to collectors in the west, the only Japanese nursery that does is Shikoku Garden. But they are wholesale so one has to either do a group order or buy plants indirectly from several nurseries in Europe and the US that sell plants from Shikoku (Edrom, Asiatica). It still is great fun though seeing all these desirable plants.

PS. If anyone knows of another Japanese nursery that exports to Europe besides Shikoku Garden I would be interested to know.

Edit : please note that Yuwaza Engei will now ship plants and seeds outside Japan, including to the USA. http://yuzawa-engei.net/08English/03OrderPayment/03Order.html (http://yuzawa-engei.net/08English/03OrderPayment/03Order.html)

Yes, it's really nice to look at the plants they sell, though a bit frustrating if you compare prices, after import to Europe they sell for three times there price, which is normal of course (export and phytosanitary is not cheap) so I guess I'll have move to Japan if I want to be able to afford them ;)

I'd like to know too if someone knows of any other Japanese nurseries that exports.
