I. Seeds + 10-Year Bonsai From Seed Guide

        As regular readers know, I strongly believe a better bonsai seed kit needs to be made available for those interested in growing bonsai from scratch. Too many bonsai seed kits include seeds that never germinate, offer no support to new growers, and if you can get germination, they offer no instructions on how to turn this sapling into a mature, respectable bonsai. To that end, I've leveraged my experience as a bonsai apprentice at Elandan Gardens and my teacher's 60+ years of experience in growing bonsai from seed to compose a practical guide on seed-growing bonsai. My seed-growing guide is focused on foundational bonsai strategies for the first 10 years of growing like building your trunk, selecting and wiring branches, and creating good nebari (root flare). Every order of seeds comes with the growing guide at no additional charge! The physical guide and seeds will be mailed to you together.

My seeds are collected from a variety of locations including bonsai gardens, botanic gardens, public arboretums, and on occasion, city streets and wild locations. The specifics of each seed are listed in their Etsy listing.

Seeds require you to cold-stratify them yourself as dry storage for most species is critical to their longevity. In spring, some select varieties are available pre-stratified.

Etsy offerings as of Autumn 2022. (Some new species have since been added. See Etsy for the full list)

Available seeds - for the full list, see my Etsy.

For more information on my bonsai seed offerings, see here (work in progress).

II. Trees

I am officially a licensed nursery registered with the state of Ohio as of 2023! I specialize in growing native bonsai from seed, digging local wild bonsai from yards and forests, and propagating tropicals for beginner bonsai artists to enjoy. Contact me to see my nursery in person or inquire about anything in particular you are looking for. I am located now in northern Upper Arlington, near Columbus, OH. Occasionally I may update the links below with more details on what trees are currently available but generally, an in-person visit is the best way to see everything available at a given time. Contact me to arrange a visit appointment!

*$15 minimum for delivery within 15 miles of OSU campus in Columbus. Beyond that, we can negotiate based on the order. Shipping of small trees is possible. Shipping of bigger trees may be possible in the future. Delivery to neighboring states especially to other local bonsai shows I will vend at is also possible! Contact for inquiries.

Available Bonsai & Prebonsai (will gradually be adding to/updating this list)

III. Bonsai Pots

I now sell pots! I received a special shipment to sell on behalf of Blue Nose Trading and for other consignment arrangements. See the available pottery and prices I have available here. These are mainly for local pickup/delivery only, but shipping can be requested.

IV. Bonsai Soil

            I have wholesale pumice available at my nursery year-round. If you like or want to try this highly durable and drainage-improving soil substrate in your bonsai, I sell it both as pure 3/16-1/4" pumice or mixed with pine bark at ratios of 50/50 or 33/66 depending on your preference. The 50/50 mix is cheaper and holds a bit more water but both of these mixes are modified from the soil mix of my bonsai teacher, Dan Robinson of Elandan Gardens. Together we have nearly 70 years of experience using this particular soil mix in a variety of climates. 

See more details on my bonsai soil available here. It is mostly for pickup in Central, Ohio but delivery to other nearby states may be possible in upcoming road trips I will take this year. Shipping is also possible. Contact me for inquiries here.

V. Bonsai Tools

            See here for a few picture examples of the bonsai tools I sell out of my nursery in Columbus, OH in person, with online shipping, or at local bonsai shows. You can also go directly to my Etsy at www.invivobonsai.etsy.com to see the full description and all pictures of each tool type, although if local pickup is possible I will offer a discount due to fees and free shipping being included in the Etsy price.

VI. Bonsai Wire

            I have bonsai wires available both aluminum and copper. This section will be updated shortly with more information but if you are looking for it urgently, contact me.

VII. Bonsai Books

            I have a few bonsai books available in my Etsy online shop. This section will be updated shortly with more information but if you are looking for it urgently, see invivobonsai.etsy.com
