Mate i have 3 figs im putting up for sale, one proberly in that price range. too bad your in sydney. For $250 you should find some decent mature stock. not necessary in pines but maples, figs and elms you should do ok. Are you near leong in sydney ? he usually has alot of stuff. for large junipers be prepared to pay. elms and figs are more forgiving if your new to bonsai. good luck :)

Hey Griffo

Ray Nesci will have lots of things in your price range. I would think Leong does too
