This. Who knows? Thirty years it might just ground layer itself. ;)
Had one with the same graft union, some ok roots....but yeah, they just don't match up, ever.....Killed it a couple years ago at re-pot. Looked like it was in the pot for ages with heavily compacted soil....and almost no roots. Should have gently teased but most just fell away.....🤔:(



So, I figure I'll try something more expensive to intensify the focus. Surprising how much money you can save not having to pay the babysitter for close to a year and about the same with no restaurant slaughters of the drink list......


Corkers don't seem as vigorous as a standard JBP. Is this so?
Are these genuine prices you lads in USA pay?
Some fantastic trees but some of the prices are a touch salty?

I don't know anyone with that kind of money for trees. I suppose there are some, but they don't associate with blokes like me.

Prices are tricky thought.. I am always surprised at the prices some trees have at the trophy. And from personal contacts I do know that the sort of prices shown on the website are also asked, and gotten, for the best trees on the market in Europe.

I doubt many people pay that sort of money for the trees on the website (Or on any website, to be fair! I would want to see the tree in person). At first sight, these seem to be a step below the price they ask; they do not look like top-level trees?

IMO if you decide to buy such a tree, the best is to accept (& enjoy) its characteristics & peculiarities.
A very old one, in the Kokufu48 (1974) : the narrow base is perfectly shown & assumed, the tree is a strange but impressive living sculpture ->
