Maybe! But the media/pfitzer varieties sell out in garden centers each year and they're less attractive garden specimens compared to a good chinensis.Maybe the demand is low so the supply is low as well. I guess a lot of people prefer Itoigawa and Kishu hence the availability.
I found these old guys in Italy, next to a 150+ year old mansion. They don't make gardens like that anymore.
