Hi guys, I live in the U.K. and have been trawling the internet for shimpaku juniper seeds but can't find them anywhere! Normal Chinese juniper seeds I can find everywhere but not the shimpaku variety. Does anyone know where I can get hold of them?

It is a variety of Chinese Juniper, like Kishu and Itoigawa: nebaribonsai.wordpress.com/2012/09/23/mo...d-shimpaku-junipers/

Also it is something I personally would not want to try and grow from seed.
