The internet offers a plethora of legit bonsai dealers who offer a wide array of bonsai stock, and nothing offers utmost convenience in shopping for a bonsai tree than the internet. So, why this topic?
This is NOT to discourage you from ordering your bonsai stock online. The purpose of this article is to highlight points you should ponder whenever you make a purchase and to encourage you to visit your local nurseries, whenever you have the opportunity. Internet buys are equally advantageous, and again convenient, but it pays to choose your bonsai stock – up close and personal.
Here are the reasons why:
- You can choose healthy plants and avoid wasting money on bonsai trees that will not pay off in the long haul. Buying your bonsai tree from the local nursery gives you the opportunity to examine the tree from trunk to stem.
- You can demand a form of guarantee, such as money-back or replacement, in case the problem does not show up on the day you make your purchase. Some bonsai stocks do not show plant diseases until later.
- You can ask for advice and additional information on how to successfully plant and nurture your bonsai as most local nurseries are managed by individuals who are “hands-on” bonsai enthusiasts themselves.
Patronizing local nurseries, as well as the internet, encourages more and more people to get involved in the bonsai industry. It would not be long for bonsai to find its way in almost every home!
