If I were to ask $8 each for these, that would total $776. Some are worth much more than that. I'd entertain an offer for the entire set for less than that.
I have these and haven't looked at them in 5 years. It's time to let them go to someone who can use them.
Anyone interested in the full set (minus the last few)?
So do I but I'm not complaining about it. If I had a heated greenhouse or sunroom, of course it would be farther along by far. "We don't go to war with the army we want, we go to war with the army we have." -Ulysses S. Grant.
No, I don't think its growth rate is slower than I'd expect for Kansas. They grow great from about late June until late September, then they slow down. It's been growing well for the last 2 years.

I collected it from my yard April 1, 2009. It began to grow ferociously. Here are a few pics of the progression. The first three are from April through July of 2009.
This tree is actually about 14-16 inches tall. The base is probably over six inches in diameter. I've never actually measured it!
Here's what it looked like when I dug it 2 years ago. At that time it was over 30 inches tall. You can see the leader I actually went with poking up from the V. Hard...
Former Oklahoman Frank Kroeker has many nice jbp prebonsai you can buy for $50, he is priced way under market. He is now in Topeka, KS, but doesn't really sell over the web. PM me and I'll get you his email.
