I found these regular green Acer pals at Home Depot for $30/each. They have 1" to 1.25" trunks and are shaped to be garden trees. I've never seen just plain ol' un-grafted Acers at nurseries or big box stores around here.
I went ahead and purchased 4 of them with the intent of air layering the tops and to see what sprouts from the trunks when I chop em back. Good practice for a newb like me. Thoughts?
Also snagged this kornus kousa for $60. Has a 1.5" trunk and low sprouts. I'm a sucker for dogwoods. I've seen kousas at nurseries half this size and for 2x or 3x the price.
