Where can I buy a mail-order boojum tree?

Yes, there is such a thing. Here is a bit more detail on the subject. I think they are quite interesting and look like something out of Dr. Seuss, but I can't seem to find anyone who sells them. Cactus suppliers, maybe? Any help would be appreciated. I am in Indiana for shipping and shopping purposes.

Best answer: This article says Desert Foothills Gardens Nursery in Arizona sells them for $1000/ft, and that they're fairly easy to grow from seed (though they must grow REAL slow if mature specimens are that pricy.) No prices or anything on the site, but you could call them.

Response by poster: I dont think I can afford a thousand dollar plant. Wow! They do have an incredible variety of other cacti and desert plants, though, so maybe I'll find something else. Thanks!
