Smoke has a good point on this but there is another way to look at these type of trees, at least for me. While smokes point is from a professional point of view. What do you want from this tree and ones like it. I bought one very similar to this that was 250$ marked down to 50$. It has a few flaws like this but it's for my enjoyment and see what I can do with it. Granted you may need to ground grow, layer, graft or any other number of techniques. For me I love working on raw material, as much as finished material that smoke likes.
Not dissing smoke in the least, but what I'm saying is, even though at some point you will want more finished or rough stock grown for bonsai, regardless of price. Reaching that level, knowing what to look for in material when browsing nursery material, and I can't truly say I'd buy this without seeing it in real life, you may always have material like this because it's enjoyable to work on finished bonsai in a pricy pots and cheap material in plastic pots.(run on)
To me working on something worth my time is everything I collect or buy, EVERYTHING, no exception. To say "worth my time" means actually knowing what you buy and if you have the time to give the tree the respect it needs. I have somewhere around 50 trees and know my limit so I make sure I have time for anything new I pick up. So everything is worth my time, it's just that I enjoy material like this and what it can bring to me.
So I think I just pretty much agreed with smoke but in a more confused way, and I think I'd buy the tree too.
Well next time I'll post after I read that they gyped you. Good for thought I guess. Maybe go back and get a stupid employee to ring you up lol
Interesting how you put this together. Pretty much based on one thing and one thing only.....trees collected by Randy Knight. Take away Randy Knight and the whole bonsai paradise goes away. Interesting how one anonymous phone call to the right environmental group could turn Oregon into a bonsai Nuclear Winter....Michael Hagedorn and Ryan Neal are in Oregon. Telperion Farms is there. They're forming. "Bonsai Village" in Portland, Oregon. The Artisan's Cup was in Oregon.
It's becoming a hotbed of Bonsai.
Al, I "think" Hagedorn only has one Randy Knight collected tree in his collection. He collects also. I think all collectors would probably be affected by the same phone call since they all collect, all over the west.Interesting how you put this together.

May be, but my point for Adair was that it could have easily have been Utah or Colorado , but Oregon already had an established collector in Randy Knight there, thus the pilgrimage.Al, I "think" Hagedorn only has one Randy Knight collected tree in his collection.

Colorado has Larry Jackel collecting there. And he has for a while.May be, but my point for Adair was that it could have easily have been Utah or Colorado , but Oregon already had an established collector in Randy Knight there, thus the pilgrimage.

Where is Golden Arrow located? I don't think it's Oregon.
Telperion Farms is a grower, not a collector.
I like it when you figure out that your making my point.....Al, you're right that Randy is a large part of the Oregon bonsai scene.
