You could find something further up the bonsai evolutionary chain for 50$.
Would you buy it and trunk chop it really low?
I have not heard of TYTY, are they a nursery that many bonsai enthusiasts use? I am in Orange County, there are not many bonsai nurseries nearby, I am going to check out Tree of Life today off Ortega Highway. I want to find a nice Coast Live Oak as well.
Not in a box.This tree is for sale for $50. the owner says it is a Chinese Elm. Would you buy it and trunk chop it really low?
