This coast redwood is also stunning...or at least will be in several years

This redwood is very unique.
Looks like a old, tired monster. Cool Af
Coast Redwood No. 1

This Kingsville is the one I'm most tempted to buy. Of course a $5k impulse buy is not in the cards!
Kingsville Boxwood
Styled on Mirai Live, drawing inspiration from the local Oregon white oak canopy, this Kingsville boxwood showcases its tiny leaves for a sense of scale. It effectively represents the oak's form in miniature, with historical provenance and undeniable quality. As the apex gains density, the...

The two redwoods are nice.
I am surprised how few trees speak to me.
Possible there is a size-factor that I am missing, which would make these much more impressive. But.. Mwa.
The wisterias I really do not get, pricewise.

Yes, even the rootball looks like a tilted plant from a nursery pot.

you're right, the back is certainly a mess. This one probably has some of the "featured on stream" price inflation.

To me, for that sort of money, I would not want such tangled trunks hiding in the tree.

I think we have finally reached the point where Ryan/Mirai has more trees than they can work on at his high level. A lot of these look like they haven't had much work done to them or like the olives, he is looking to get rid of a certain species. The nicest to me are the redwoods and some of the native junipers.
I'm extremely surprised anyone bought those two maples at those prices. I don't believe the estimated ages of 40 years, these both look like cuttings unless I'm completely missing something with the growth rate on this variety.
Overall, a meh listing this year compared to prior years.

It's always interesting how quickly some of these trees get scooped up given the price tag. I have to imagine the number of people who are in the market for $5K-$10K bonsai trees has got to be pretty small.
The one tree that stuck out to me (pun intended) looks a little, uh, flaccid.

This tree embodies a captivating blend of strength and compactness, poised to evolve into an exceptional representation of wild beauty. Hailing from California's Central Valley, it carries a rich history from a bygone era that enhances its value. Beyond its impressive bonsai form and initial...

Not really. The redwoods are pretty great. There are several spruce and pines that are extremely good as well.
As for those maples, with the $100-$150 custom pots under them, and tiny already containerized root masses. They aren't recent cuttings, but they are clones ("second generation'" as Ryan put it). They're also probably not 40 years old, but both are Coral Bark (sango kaku--a specialized cultivar) and on their own roots with some nebari by the looks of it. arguably a decent buy if you ask me.

The reason those expensive trees are "snapped up" is that the people buying them have likely been looking at them (probably in person) for a while and were waiting for them. The market for $5k bonsai is not as small as you think. Beyond $10K, that's rarified air, but it's also not likely as small as you think.It's always interesting how quickly some of these trees get scooped up given the price tag.
