I buy, grow, & collect a lot of trees these days, nearing the tens of thousands mark. Over this past few months this year I have been looking around those "mallsai" stores like bonsaioutlet.com and have noticed that nearly everyone is asking a premium for Chinese elm. Having grown them, hundreds of them, from seed and cuttings, also having grown hundreds of other species such as maples, junipers, katsura, yew's, olive's etc. i don't quite get where this premium price comes from, most online stores are charging nearly $35 more for a "large" chinese elm vs. a shimpaku, JM, or other harder to grow tree. Chinese elms are some of the easiest to propagate in mass quantity from my experience.
Can anyone explain this to me in ELI5 terms because this really doesn't make sense to me. I just cant see where the premium price is coming from.
