After post about the "55yr old Bougainvillea" from eBay, I thought I would make a thread about all the "beautiful tree" scams or price gouging sales ads I see. Feel free to add anything y'all see out there.. I just saw this beauty on Facebook Marketplace (200 yrs old JBP).. $125!! Great...

The last thread was closed down. I was wondering if anyone knew any update from Vandalization/Theft at Bonsai Mirai? Has Ryan said anything since his 10 yr video? did they catch the crooks and find his trees?

Saw this on my FB feed . My back would appreciate this..

Had some seedlings shipped. They dried out and foliage went brown. Scratched bark with finger nail to my surprise it was very green. So potted them and watered. Texas has been a bit warmer the last couple of weeks. I thought if pines lost their foliage they would die but saw some needles...
