Why are chojubai quince so expensive?

[Jaberwky17]

Noticed that it seems like every time I see a chojubai quince for sale online it's really expensive for the size and development. I admittedly don't know a lot about them. What gives?

This has been brought up in the not so distant past. Some good insight.

I think Michael Hagedorn has a lot to do with it. He has several fantastic posts on them with nice pictures and great advice for care/styling. I think he really made many take a second look and appreciate these cool little trees. They are also more on the rare side in the US. You can't find them easily. However they are really easy to propagate once you get one. I remember Jonas had cutting grown ones that he just started for like $7 at the last BIB show.

Check out Evergreen Garden works- $8 for small cutting grown trees is not expensive.

All they seem to have right now is the White ("yellow") but he says he might have some red next year...

Yep, one noticed that. One would be glad to receive your blessings concerning forum etiquette.
