Shimpaku Juniper Raft

It is a nice lacerock that you can pick up for around $75. Then add the six roughly four year old shimpaku which should cost retail $20.00 a piece. (They say raft but I cannot see any proof of that :confused:)

$195 + labor etc..

It could be worth that much but it wasn't wired by an experienced person and they didn't do anything to the pads etc. I think it's worth around $300-400 if it was done correctly. Also consider they'll be paying probably $50+ for shipping.

All in all it isn't highway robbery, I just think brussles really throws around the word "specimen" to attract buyers. Not to say that I don't try and boast about my product- that's good marketing.
 
over priced

I think it may be worth $250 to $300. Trees look very young and it looks more like a group planting then a raft. Too much moss.
Thanks for showing.;)
 
Oh Brussels :rolleyes:

Way overpriced. I also wouldn't call it a raft, looks more like just a regular planting. Remember though, it won't survive indoors :D
 
PM if interested, I'll take $600...

You could make something far better than this for less than $75 in materials.
 
I figured it might be useful to show you some really amazing raft/clump/forest plantings to give you a "better" (relatively term, I know) idea of quality compositions. I don't want to come off as arrogant, but I wish someone had done this for me in my first year as it would've saved me money and time. :D

Not all junipers and not all rafts, but quality stuff for sure:

It looks real nice and so do the Bonsai Cannabis plants... Reality tells me that I just just do not see 625.00 usd there and that I won't be moving anytime soon to legally own Cannibas Bonsai even though they also have a real nice look :p
