If I could afford to spend thousands on a specimen tree I would do it in a second. I truly enjoy creating my own but for many, the amount of training involved in many specimens that you can buy for thousands of dollars is just not attainable in my lifetime. Just recently I viewed a Japanese Black pine in San Fran. that had been in training for an excess of 150 years. this would be impossible to do on my own. If I had the money to spare I would have happily added it to my collection.
