I don't do it commercially, I do it 100% for the hobby. If I was to ship it out of state on a fesh dig. It would take about 2 year no guarantee that the Juni will survive. When you rape these 100 year old trees out of the ground they don't like it much. The next 2 years of your life is misting foilage and not really too much water at all. after 2 years its still no guarantee that it will like the repot as well.
Doing Cali Juni is a lose lose situation if done commercially. Although I have seen them in some commercial bonsai nurseries they demand a hefty price. It was said in Japan by a friend who is an apprentice for a Bonsai master that, if you can get a coontainer full of Cal Juni's over into Japan you would not have to work the rest of your life..
Does anyone have a submarine I can hide a few of these in
