Bonsai in California-2009-#4-Chikugo-en in LA

This nursery is run by Gary Ishii who took it over from Masaru Ishii who is still working there though.And one can see that they are working. The quality of the trees is outstanding. Especially in the class of very small to medium sized bonsai this is one of the best nurseries I have ever had the pleasure to visit. This one is a must see in LA.

  2. Of course not. It is strictly forbidden. And then the best trees are not for sale.

    How are the prices on trees compared to Europe?

  4. Prices for real quality trees are not much different from Europe. Prices for good raw material are lower.
