I was down in Maryland over the weekend and visited Susanna Farm Nursery (great place) and picked up the rather large Spaan's Dwarf. Trunk is about 5"-6" across and has some nice taper and movement.
I wasn't sure if it was a bonsai candidate, but figured it for a nice landscape tree if it isn't

I got a good deal on it because it appears stressed and the top was removed. The owner thinks it looks like a sawfly infestation. There is a good bit of healthy green needles, not shown in this pic.
The trunk curves away from us in this pic. I tried a side view, but the was the better side for a pic
And we had to chop another foot off the top to get it home. Its about 30" tall now.
