How do you rate Jubaea's?

I am thinking about growing and maybe importing some different sized Jubaea into British Columbia. Would there be a large demand for them if pricing was from say $50 to $300 depending on trunk size?

I'm digging it up because I know someone who doesn't want it anymore. I am probably going to dig it out like the ones in this picture but with a bit more root system if I get it.
