Mike,
I read somewhere that to have better bonsai one has to start with better stock. The art is in choosing good material to work with. As for what it cost? I'll say this: I got it for a song, when compared to it's potential. I see a lot of people that spend more on several puny, hopeless trees that have decades of problems to be fixed. I think that their money would have been better applied to better stock, but this is just an opinion.
Cheers,
Jim |
