I had no idea there was a tree so expensive.

But it is an 80 year old tree in a Pot. That took some care.
I do know Hinoki is used to build that one temple in Japan on adjacent lot in Kiji Valley (or was that where the trees come from?).

It is LISTED for $59,000. It is not that expensive until somebody actually PAYS that much.
Most times you will not find any that old. If the person passes who was caring for it they stay in the family. There are some that are a lot older. But because they are not for sale we do not know what price they may bring. That one is one of the oldest I've seen for sale.
But it would be very hard to prove its age and keep it alive.
