How long is a piece of string?

I am not that fussed on Cotoneaster so I wouldn't buy either, not that either of the trees are no good.

Just my personal opinion.

Neither of them would be worth much if we took them down to the 1:4 ratio ;)

I have a standard response when people ask me the value of my trees "they are not worth anything cause they're not for sale"

O.k..the pot is worth, probably, 40-50 dollars to buy if it is your standard Chinese and the tree is between 65-85 dollars so go to the extreme total and it would be around 135. That is what i would value it at and sell it at.

I remember buying one of these about 16 years ago. From a nursery that called them selves the rare tree farm, not around any more the only thing rare was there prices.

I digress it was marked at t$ 30=00 which was not bad considering it was in a pot that was worth $ 90=00. So I bought it put it in a cheaper pot, put it on consignment for the said $30=00 was sold in two days I still have the pot. It has a very nice semi cascade Callitris in it.

So what you can get is what it is worth. I would not buy either, unless I knew the pot was worth, more that the cost of what was being asked.

It's not a Cotoneaster, it's a Crokia.

That is correct Mel but corokia is in the Cotoneaster family
