I don't doubt your description, but a tree that size is the exception rather than the rule. Yes, some species grow quite slowly and if you get the first of a new crop, you might get a tree that small. 'Hokkaido', 'Catlin', or 'Catlin Cortorted' might have been that small or even smaller, possibly even 'Seiju' (although these normally are pencil thick). But fast growing trees, and trees that have the normal couple years on them from our nursery are usually pencil thick or thicker and 12 to 18 inches tall for the 2 3/4 inch pot size, even most of the elms. I am always glad to describe trees exactly upon request. It is difficult to do this in the catalog because trees grow and change. Often our 4 inch pot size trees are as big as, or even bigger than typical one gallon trees that are found in retail garden centers. We do sometimes have one gallon sizes, and you can always inquire as to whether larger sizes or specimen plants are available.
At this point in our marketing, the larger trees are not in the online catalog, but we have literally thousands of specimen sizes, priced individually. If you have any need for a larger tree or a workshop tree, you can always inquire, and I often have exactly what you need. Many forum members have done this. In the future, trees will be photographed and added to the website, but we are probably still six months to a year away from starting that project. The completion of the new nursery has been our priority for the last eight years, but it is getting close!
Thank you for you kind comments on our packaging, we get many compliments in that department.
