Rare, difficult to find, Japanese maple varieties.

I just spotted this ad in Our Members Area, and you will not believe the prices. These are true wholesale prices but in Our Members Area you don’t have to purchase large quantities of plants. You often buy just a couple of items.

I am posting this here just to give you an idea of what kind of plant deals you can get in our Members Area. There is a membership fee that is kind of steep, but we do allow You to Test Drive the Members Area for $7.00 and if don’t want to pay that steep fee just let Duston know.

You can reach him at [email protected], and he’ll cancel your membership before you get billed for the first monthly installment.
