added later: Another major reason for not quoting prices before my inspection is to avoid tempting folks into purchasing a tree which does not have a high chance of survival. In fact in the past too many collected trees were sold from various sources very soon after collection and the buyers took all the risk - and were very sorry afterwards. While the buyer always will take some risk the idea with this batch is to have them established over at least one vegetation period or even two as a minimum before a sale is even considered. And I will have to decide right there on the spot whether a tree seems to be ready or not. Mind you, even then folks who purchase them are taking the normal risk of a piece of material diying on them for whatever reasons.
And then to come back to the question that started this exchange of ideas: Yes, it seems that it is not so easy even for a professionl to make the right decison here and he may well ask for very experienced help,.
