Consider writing a "take scions" clause into the sale agreement. When
I was shopping for houses one of the ones I looked at had a clause to
allow the seller to take small selections of her (extensive) hosta
collection at whatever time of year it's best to divide hostas. I
didn't buy the house, but the clause was not a problem for me, and my
guess is that it wasn't a problem for other potential buyer.
