I've seen that one. I don't see any movement, pics are hard to tell. I also see what I think are taper issues.

Have you tried Telperion? I bought my project black pine from there this year. Very reasonable price and a good selection.

I have gone back and forth with Chris for a few months. He's a good guy, but busy. I've seen maybe 5 trees from him and all have big trunks. while I'm ok with a tree being a project some are way too much for me to take on. I found one I liked from him, but unfortunately I waited and it was gone before I could purchase, that was my mistake. I continue to follow up and request pics of more stock for purchase.

Oh and the one cold weather species I really wish I could grow is larch, especially after seeing Crusts posts.

 

[carp]

Oh.

Osteomeles subulata

 

[Jarath]

A extremely large, collected, BALD CYPRESS. Now, if any of you folks happen to be Santa, please, please, I have been a good boy so far this year.

 

[carp]

Just go in the woods...they're not at all rare.

Send a note to Owen Reich. I got a couple of little girls (rooted cuttings) from him a month or so ago.

do you need both sexes of the plant to get the fruit?

 

[Geo]

Ulmus mexicana

Let me know if you find one. I'll take a dozen on credit.

You stole my tree.

Have been there and he has many trees. Don't give up.

 

[Potawatomi13]

More seriously pinus torreyana insularis.

apparently so...
I will still try to get princess persimmon from seeds this year. Hope there is a way to see if male or female sooner than 10 years.

add in kotohime, sharps, arakawa maples

 

[DougB]

Are you talking about http://www.tytyga.com/?

Yes

 

[drew33998]

Wakaebisu that isn't a cutting but also isn't a $2000 tree

Max, those maples are "sports", or specific cultivars. Usually, the seeds don't carry the same characteristics as the parent. So, if you can only get seeds, you might have a hard time.., they're usually propagated by cuttings or grafts.

Too many to list honestly but a few are-

Fortunella Hindsii
Goji Berry
Arakawa
Emperor pom

Is Goji Berry considered rare?
