Eisai-en bonsai nursery final sale

None of the lower priced material looks enticing to me. Naturally, my first instinct was to sort by price, ascending 🤣

The first one that looks like a good buy to me is limber pine #7, which is a bit out of my price range for raw material.
 
Granted it's hard to see the scale of these trees, but I give up trying to figure out pricing.

I noticed Bjorn saying that he will sell off his Clump style Acer from seedlings, the one he made as a little boy together with his father, at a Valavanis workshop. He is really serious. I would never sell off a tree with that kind of sentimental value.

I agree it would be a hard decision but he is moving to Japan and probably can't take it with him for various reasons.
 
I understand he's trying to turn a profit, but those seem like steep prices for a liquidation sale.

I won't pretend to understand how "finished" trees are priced, but a lot of those look like unworked raw material. It looks like very good raw material, but I would expect to pay hundreds, not thousands of dollars. Is anyone here able to explain the pricing?
 
I guess I am a bit dense, but don't understand something. When the OP originally mentioned Bjorns sale and then looking at the link provided, I assumed these were Bjorns trees, but now I am thinking they are Eisai-en trees as it says all can be picked up a Eisai-en's place. A bit confusing to me.

Yes, prices seem high to me for the quality and some of those pines don't even look like they flushed out this year. Maybe because they were just collected last year? They do look healthy though.

When he was apprentice in Japan. He still kept his bonsai collection at his parents house.

That was a temporary thing. Now it's long term, even permanent. I'm sure his parents are getting older as well and may not be as able to take care of trees. It would be a pretty big ask for them to take care of his trees indefinitely.

Yes I know. But i'm pretty sure Bjorn could find a guy or 20 guys that could take care of a couple of trees.
