Vance, that is similar to what Jim Barrett does. He starts with cuttings of very specific species, and every year when he works on them and repots them, the price goes up. He writes it on a little tag. You can see the price of the tree from the past. He always has several levels of stock to sell, so you can buy the youngest or pay a little more and gain some girth.

It really makes sense, because another year of work, water, and growth is worth more money of course.
