Pootsie,

No worries there. I'm picky about the nursery stock material I've picked up so far. The bonsai nursery I patronize most often is legit (even if they don't speak English well or know names reliably) even if the prices are a bit steep for a beginner. I don't remember what they were charging for the ginsengs, but they were in 6" pots. It's "House of Bonsai" in Lakewood, CA, if anybody has any caveats or adulations to bestow. I'd like an idea of value too. I think they had trunk chopped Malus with maybe 2" trunk and about 6-7" height starting at $50. Korean hornbeams around $60 for about 12". I can't remember what the Japanese hornbeams were going for. Shimpaku junipers were $25 for a 6" pot and 10" tree. What I really DO like about the place is that all of their material seems robustly healthy.
