I sell a few trees at the club auction to pay for better stuff. I have reduced my collection by half and bought better trees to replace the sold ones. It’s fun to get into the buy and sell game.
I am looking for a Yew similar to the one above..hint, hint to anyone reading.250 euro incl workshop

Value is what the damned fool will pay for it.
He won't be for long!Ed Clark is also one of the biggest secrets in bonsai
Where did you buy your female persimmon? I’d love an older tree. Thank you.I don't typically buy $300 pre-bonsai - because I can usually find good stock for less.
However I did pay $350 for this large female princess persimmon. Folks here in Southern Cal know where I got it - and it isn't the cheapest nursery for pre-bonsai. But sometimes you have to part with some money for rare stock, particularly if it is larger.

I think this Mendocino pygmy cypress cost me $225 from Bob Shimon at the GSBF show this year:

I’ve never spent $300 on a tree, but I’ve spent closer to $200 before. Material on the East Coast is simply more expensive unfortunately.
I want to say this bad boy was $175, if not $125- is that a good price or no? I thought so at the time I bought it. Now, I’m not sure. I think it’s at least worth that much now that I’ve worked on it for a year or two. It’s a trident.
This is the one tree that I spent 300.00 on. I have spent more and way less. In fact I have better trees that I spent less money on. I just liked this juniper and had to have it. Other than prune it up and define some branching, I havn't really worked on it yet. I've had this juniper two years. I purchased it while my wife was sick and just didn't work on it. Maybe next year.
