You'll have to knuckle down and do a lot of work to afford everything you wanted to take with you yesterday, Jon.

That one sweet elm there Brett! A masterpiece in no time!
No time is right, it was great material and very easy to decide on initial styling. After a slow season last year though it is comming along well this year.
How big is that tree, Brett? It looks like a great little specimen, with a ton of potential from all of that growth and that trunk.
I thought youse might ask that but I was too slack to get another pic that shows the size. This is the most I have paid per pound for a tree but it was worth the $95 I spent
This is the back of the tree when I bought it. The kids hands should give you an idea how big it is.

I'm not game to guess a price for these but I think I am stopping in at ther nursery next weekend so I will see if they are out for sale yet. Or if there are any left.

That's how they grow though, and how they are collected in the states...

They are, you just have to know where to look.
You know its possible to get large Chinese junipers in 40 gal pots in Queensland for $140? You just have to know where to look, you know research something... But I'm a beginner, you already knew all that..
