Where in Central Fla are you?? I can’t help but think you can find better starter material than that for $100. Especially with wigerts being located centrally.This bonsai has been here at Epcot for over a year and I have been sitting on buying for that long. I have seen it every time I come and keep putting it off. I am ready to pull the trigger. Just want opinions on it though.
What do you all think. It will be about $100.

So where are you located? I also can’t tell how big this tree is from the pics. The multiple trunks from a single spot, straight trunks and long internodes would turn me off from purchasing.
Anything sold at Epcot is going to have a tourist markup price on it. These trees are listed at Wigerts for $75-$150, much thicker trunk, much more to work with. The tree at Epcot is a $15 Walmart tree with a little bit of age added.
Kept in full sun, yes.These seem to be about a foot or more shorter than the one at Epcot.
Will these still grow vertically?
I think if you have been visiting and appreciating this tree for a year, then it is a good purchase, if not only as a souvenir to remind you of your times there. If you have come to like the height and shape, that is half the ownership battle!
I've not personally dealt with them that I know of yet, so I don't know what to look for.Am I the only one that thinks this tree has spider mites?
Look at the leaves in particular. Tree does not look it’s healthiest.I've not personally dealt with them that I know of yet, so I don't know what to look for.
Want to fill us in?
That I did notice, but I can't say exactly what it is. Looked along the lines of a nutrient deficiency, which is easily resolved.Look at the leaves in particular. Tree does not look it’s healthiest.
