No need for apologies. I think your posts were all good. Remember @rockm said "Whatever that means". To me that means we can take this topic to whatever we want. It is a fun banter.My apologies for going off topic
Carry on guys!

I was hoping to not do this again. Access, abilities, timelines and interests all differ. Mirai can sell what they want and set prices, and we can buy or not. Beyond that lets appreciate they trees and keep moving

I live 20 minutes from Shenandoah Mountain trails here in Cville. I should hike Hump Back soon with an investigative eye. I wonder if I might find some stone or rocks for a slab forest composition. Iām 100% going to create a forest composition after watching Mirai Rock planting and forests.

I think we all can agree is that in bonsai the word "depends" is applicable to pretty much everything. Thumb up if you agree. I will give myself a thumb up on this post.
What??? I can't 'Liked' my own post? That is just absurd!

I grew up on the other side of Afton Mt. near Waynesboro. It's illegal to collect anything (rocks included) from the Parkway, particularly in high-traffic areas like Humpback Rocks. FWIW, try Wintergreen's parking lot for stones. They've got tons of them lying around. Also, FWIW, if you're up for a roadtrip-Buckingham slate is down near, well, Buckingham. They've been selling slate for roofs for 150 years. I've been meaning to get down there, but haven't been able to. I'd bet they've got slabs by the score. Don't know if you can get thinner slabs though. They sell 3/4" thick in pallets...

Thank you for the heads up. We have Park passes for hiking but I figured collecting is illegal. Iām determined to collect rocks to use.

Better yet: Go to Alberene Soapstone in Schuyler, VA: https://www.polycor.com/stones/alberene-soapstone/
I lived close by 40 years ago. You can buy individual slabs at several thicknesses and many sizes.

Indeed! Back row searches of nurseries, sometimes trash heaps or asking about neglected or old stock in nursery can produce great beginnings on occasion and always bargain for best price

I spent about 45 hours two weekends ago at 65 different nurseries and, lo and behold, needing a plunger and rust remover, stopped at a Home Depot where I saw this very tree! I passed on it, because of the whole toilet situation and I felt that maybe better material would show up at that last nursery I didnt check 245 Miles away in Delaware. I played hookie at work on Monday the following week and drove the three hours down there but they only had straight sticks in pots. Not wanting to waste the day off, I went back to Home Depot to buy this very same tree but it turns out it was sold. Now here it is! On Mirai's sale for $1.5million. Unbelievable!!!!

Since we havnt moved on from the nursery topic ill play! Ive seen your stuff and its not even in the $30 to $50 ball park, worthwhile nursery material is going to set you back $150 to $300.

Sometimes the specimen trees in the best health like this Linden here, are growing in full view, in full sun. Ryan found 4 trees here...Indeed! Back row searches of nurseries, sometimes trash heaps or asking about neglected or old stock in nursery can produce great beginnings on occasion and always bargain for best price
To sum up, its not just time and effort that holds people back. This tree is pretty substantial, you'd be looking at upwards of $350 to take this home, most probably just walk past it anyway seeing the price tag. Serious enthusiasts see the value and dont leave without it. Ryan did go back for it btw

Yo, Bobby One-Note--could you start your own thread and yak on and on and on about your apparent obsession there?
I posted this thread to talk about the Mirai sale itself and the trees, not really to re-hash the thread you hijacked on the Eisei En sale. You made your point (repeatedly, ad nauseum) in that thread. Give it a rest...
