Came across this five gallon Stewartia pseudocamellia yesterday while out at a nursery. The price is $95 and the tree is slightly taller than me, so I would say 6-7 feet.
Pros: Can see some radially arranged surface roots and the trunk is pretty thick at the base (forgot to measure but would guess 2 inches?)
Cons: Trunk is totally straight and there are no good low branches to cut back to, so it would just be a chop and pray (I think the one at the base is too low and at a weird angle and the next one up is more than a foot from the base).
Probably if I were to buy it, I would go for a large final size and first sort out the roots in an Anderson flat or another large pot before chopping.
