Man, look at the base of that thing... Seems like he's selling it for really cheap considering I've seen alot smaller stuff go for much higher.

Well first I saw this listing for "buy it now" but reading discription it said up for auction
I knew it may have been listed wrong and sure if I did buy it now he/she would ask to cancel
the sale... There is a second tree which I like but white pines are difficult to keep where I live(I tried with 1) and not to mention that's a crazy distance to pickup...
Good luck bidding

Yeah... 14 hours up there, and back is one hell of a drive. Might as well bunk at a motel, and do some sight seeing for that kind of trip. I have one eastern white pine grafted on a black pine stock. It hasn't endured our summer yet, but we'll see how it goes. Mugos don't seem to do that well in my area either, but a local nursery is always selling them.

This is the 3rd listing. The first was a low start w/ buy it now of $325. That was cancelled then re-listed with $325 buy it now. Then now w/ $325 starting bid.

 

[coh]

That base looks pretty silly to me. Looks like a pine tree growing out of someone's brain.

"Local-pickup-only" is a sure way to get the least amount possible for your tree!

For $325 and 10 minutes drive I could get a 4" + spiral trunk san jose juniper nursery stock or a collected CA juniper lol... material is here just need to spend the time looking around.

It might be hideous but it sure gets your attention. I keep trying not to look.
