Is This Tree REALLY Worth $900?

Absolutely, I think it is. This is a really fine corkbark black pine. Most every corkbark black pine you will encounter is grafted, as that is the most common method of propagation. They are weak on their own roots.

In addition - this statement:

"this is one of the only corkbark Japanese Black Pines I've ever seen without reverse taper - it has a wonderful rootbase and trunk taper."

Is absolutely true. This is an excellent specimen. When I looked again for more information I recognized the name of the seller, who is a frequent visitor to this forum.

Regards,

Matt
