slayertat Posted February 4, 2012 Hi Guys, what are fully grown viridis plants worth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danshaman Posted February 4, 2012 I'd think that though would come down to the sentimental value to who ever you are buying from very slow growing tree and a fully grown one to an aussie grower is probably priceless. I think they would be a worth a pretty penny though! how big and strong is a fully grown viridis anyway have only seen juvi's up close and personal anyways good luck if your are on the hunt for one or pm me if you have one you would like to part with cheers dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psylo Posted February 4, 2012 Is it planted in your front yard ? Careful the local neighbourhood Peruvians don't snatch it. Put it on E-Bay, let the people decide on it's worth. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applesnail Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) i wish ppl would stop putting a price on nature!! I see to many dollars signs and ppl trying to capitalise from plants a major dislike i have...they feed us oxygen at no expense and to many ppl see dollar signs the sadness of world gone mad to the dollar... just my hippie chant ppls!

Psylo Posted February 4, 2012 So can I come to your house and help myself to some of your plants ? It won't be many, just a ute full and perhaps a small trailer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applesnail Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) no i would call that theft but if you knocked on my door and glady asked, i would be more then happy to give someone cuts of plants for free,if i had spare, as this happened to me recently from a fellow i knocked upon his door to admire his cacti and say hello he was quite generous in dealings there was no mention of money just good old fashioned honest handshake and wonderful chat.....(oh a full grown viridis over 6feet tall that can be propagated by leaf cuttings that would be a goldmine)and the lesson in patience watching them grow priceless!

dionysus Posted February 4, 2012 it might be an easier task to propagate your full grown plant into smaller cuttings, that way people from all over the country could purchase from you/trade with you with realistic postage options, your plants genes will be spread around and you would very likely recieve back some cool trades, not to mention you would be able to keep a smaller version of the plant for yourself. would be far easier to price plants of the size that generally get traded aswell. just my 2 cents. dio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slayertat Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Ok so heres the story, I have grown these two plants for 7 plus years, with much trial. I will attach pics. They were extremely hard to get to adulthood and therefore have become very dear too me. I had a back yard with lots of huge trees and I live next door to park that had Huge trees running along my fence line. this created the perfect environment for my babies. So the council comes one day and cuts down all the tres on the park near our boundary ( great for our drainange as the leopard trees were destroying our gutters and drainage pipes). My wife decides to also cut down the tres in the back yard so we can grow grass (Lawn Lol). This leaves my trees exposed to fucking sun! Get shadecloth I hear you say? My wife is RE-doing the backyard and insists she doesnt want some huge ugly shadecloth contraption in our nice new yard just for my silly trees. So I want to sell them. I want to sell rather to give away beacause they mean alot to me and I dont really want to part with them and its taken alot to grow them. Also I figure someone who would pay a fair some would take good care of them. One is alot smaller as one I moved house the pot slipped out of my hand and landed on her head snapping her in half but with lots of TLC I brought her back. Pic is a crap pic I took with phone they are hiding behind only tree in my yard, attched a pic when they were youngsters too Edited February 5, 2012 by slayertat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If i were you, i would try and compromise with your wife. Isn't it your back yard too ?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EntheoAssassin Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) That's pretty harsh of your wife slayer. Did she really call them 'silly' trees? I would slap a ho...but she's your wife......................and not a ho. Well, the going rate seems to be $1.00 per cm plus postage.....so work out the height...and it should give you an indication of the price you're likely to get. I'm pretty keen man. PM me if you are willing to post these babies. Edited February 5, 2012 by EntheoAssassin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted February 5, 2012 I am sure slayertat is just trying to keep the peace with his wife. Nice!!!. but yeah, I am big on compromising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitewind Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Damn shame slayer. If you are in Sydney I can find a good home for them where they will be accessible by you (and the rest of the public) but perfectly safe and well cared for.
