Whats A Japanese Black Pine Worth? Looking To Buy Need Advice
Ive been studying maintenance and care of the japanese black pine for a while now. Im now looking to purchase a semi established and trained tree to learn and grow with. With just starting to really shop for this type of tree, Im seeing pretty drastic differences in price and Im a little confused as to the reasoning behind its value.
I like the smaller styles, with the fat trunks and good rootage, as opposed to the more informal upright pines. Im attaching some pics of what Im talking about.
Id really like to hear some prices people have paid for these trees and reasonings behind the prices. Mainly in relation to variety of pine and availability. As the reasons Im getting from dealers for the high costs is "they are just hard to come by" and "You cant get these anymore". Not so much about the trees potential due to its current styling, if you know what I mean. I just cant judge whats a good price with pines.
Thanks for any input in this.
