I doubt I will be able to find any, I have only seen them as mature specimens either in Japan or imported from Japan.

Any thoughts on why chojubaj are hard to come by and expensive?

They're slow growers for one thing. Other than that I have no idea, they supposedly propagate easy.

Along with being slow growing, there doesn't appear to be much of a demand for them in the landscape nursery trade.

Young ones, when grown hard, grow at a decent clip. Shove an old one in a cramped bonsai pot and it'll sit there and look at you all year and might give you a courtesy extension of a couple nodes here and there. Go read up on crataegus.com. Follow his horticultural advice on growing a younger one and you might be shocked by the results.

Pretty sure Don Blackmond (gregory beach bonsai) has some younger ones, i.e. somewhat newly rooted cuttings. He's on here quite a bit and his email is on gregorybeachbonsai.com. No idea what he charges on a young one, but his 'older' ones are reasonable considering what you're getting and market value.

Julian Adams in VA also has cuttings or did a month ago.

I currently have about 8 pots for sale, and they each have between 1 and 4 two year old cuttings. They come from high quality stock. Send an email, not pm, if interested. Individually priced.

Finally got one (well, actually two).
Thanks @Don Blackmond !
Now I just need to buy some white ones from Brent.

Keep in mind chojubai are technically a dwarf shrub, not a true tree like an acer or an elm. They recycle leaves quite a bit during the growing season.

Thanks for the tidbit, but it had just leafed out when it yellowed so I don't think that's the problem?
