Thank you everyone for their comments.

What a difference a day makes..... I've been offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to work overseas. It has come totally unexpectedly (ask Melaquin, I've been buying trees like I have money to burn). There are still a few things to take care of, and the move won't be until next year, but I really need to plan ahead....

What is the best way to sell all my trees?

Obviously as a beginner I may have paid too much for some trees, but I would like to recoup as much as possible. I'm thinking of starting to sell now, so it won't be a last minute rush....

Buxus harlandii. I took it to the local meeting this week and was told by two experienced people that what I had always thought was the front is actually the back! Looks good from both views I guess.

The best way is to put a couple here with what you would like to recoup, if possible here.

Then when you get reply, enter into either email or PM discussions with the prospective buyer.

That way you can gauge the market, and go from there as you say you are not in a hurry. You also have the option of the club meets.

I would go that way if it were me. I do not think I will be offered an overseas job at my age :( ;) Pup
