No problem here with VeggieMan selling plants for 200, and very appreciative of Rob for saving me 100 bucks and pointing me in direction of a much larger tree locally.
Weird Al's in Miami has them, along with tons of other great stuff.
In a free market, prices can be crazy and people are free to express their opinions about it.
Seems like everything is working out.
Planning on using my tree to graft from, and may or may not plant or pass the tree along afterwards. So, for me, buying a tree made more sense than waiting and buying scions. Fresh scions when the time is right, and a tree to gift or sell in the future.
