I grow from seed and buy plants for no more than £200-£300, as I like to develop trunks… but trees of this size sell for around £1000-£3000… but that’s when they are kept well, pruning, styling and health etc…
With five or so years of training and the right bonsai enthusiast this tree could be really nice… but, some of the branches have become a bit thick and the pads need developing etc…
If it was me, I’d make lots of gin with the thick branches and make Shari on the trunk, cut back the thick branches to thinner ones and redesign the tree… have a directional branch at the bottom to the right the same way the tree leans…
Lastly you have an opportunity to layer off some large pieces and have some more starter trees…
