I like the tree at the base very much. I agree that the middle section just above the initial set of branches has some faults, along with the top. I imagine it will look fine when in leaf, but that may not be enough for you at that price point. I don't think it's entirely out of line but seems like a price I'd see here in the states, seems like prices over there are normally lower than what we would expect to see. With all the options of places you can source trees from there, I would think that you might be able to do better. But it's a nice tree, I would be proud to have it on my bench and it would be fun to find a way to develop it around the flaws. Perhaps there is another side that minimizes the issues as stated.
