I am looking for some info on a Weeping Sequoia. I have come across them on several sites for sale, but the hardiness zones are ranging from as low as 5b to as high as 7. Can anyone give me some accurate info on the tree. This one is not listed specifically on the ACS database.
I really want this tree, but am concerned about the survivability of it. I stopped by the local high end garden center in town this morning and they are carrying it for the first time ever. They want $219.99 for a 10 gal. tree that is about 6-7' not including the pot. I worked there in high school and they always take care of me, so I know I can get it for less than that though. The whole family is on vacation though, so I don't know what kind of price I would be looking at. Any ideas on what would be fair?
This is the first time they have carried them and they have two in stock. I just don't want to pay an lot for the tree only to have it die in the first year b/c it's not suited for the zone. I will pay $20 or $30 for a small tree to zone test, but at that kind of money even if it's significantly discounted if the chance of survival is less than 50% I can't justify it. Now if they had been carrying it for years and there were several older specimens around, a different story.
Please give me your thoughts and opinions.
Thanks.
Eliot
