Hi all,
Considering parting with my cedar, that has been the cornerstone of my entrance of the house since we bought it. I have had it for about 11 years now and it has tight ramification under the foliage pads. Trunk is wavy, similar to the branches. It is slightly out of balance at the moment and I am working on extending 1 branch and reducing another. 55cm tall x 40cm wide atm... Not sure what it is worth.
I'd have to repot it before I did anything, cause the pot was a gift from someone that mentored me in Bonsai along time ago. It would look better in a smaller pot anyway..

How much would you like for it?
How quickly do you want it to sell?
If it is cheap it will sell quick, nurseries need to factor the years that a tree may sit on their bench to get the asking price.
Ps.. a picture with something for scale can also help

Re: Cedar - How should I present it for sale? Cost?
Pricing is very subjective and everyone would have their own ideas on the subject in question. Of course it also depends on the how much a particular buyer likes the tree.
In very general terms I would personally value this tree as is at under $200 (including the pot) With some detailed cleaning of needles perhaps some good wiring and in a pot more suited to the tree, you may be able to add $50 -$80.
