This Shore pine is the only tree in the auction that was not grown here at Left Coast Bonsai.
It was collected by the legendary collector Anton Nijhuis on Vancouver Island, BC. It was dug out of a marsh where the trees grow very slowly.
Although it is only about the size of your thumb, it is estimated to be around 100 years. The bark fissures on this tree are insane!
It has never been styled and still has some mountain soil in its core.
Within a few short years, this tree will make a nice bunjin. Shore pines are known for their short needles and excellent back budding ability.
I estimate that the shipping on this tree will be $35 east of the Rocky Mountains and $20 west of the Rockies.
The auction opens on November 26th, 2025 at 6pm Pacific and ends on Monday, December 1st, 2025 at 6pm Pacific. For rules and details about the auction, please visit: Auction Rules
