If you’ve stopped in at Bonsai Art in Heatherton any time in the last decade, his prices make this look like a steal.

Saw a 10cm tall air layer of shishigashira, no taper, pencil thick for $110 🤣

Ha ha.

The last time I looked for developed bonsai trees, I was presented with plants that looked much like that (ok they were in pots) selling for $150 or more that were worse than what I could pull out of wall in my local garden!

But I think it is like most niche hobbies, they are all expensive in one way or another?
