Bonsai Trees For Sale in the Minneapolis & St. Paul Metro

“The object is not to make the tree look like a bonsai, but to make the bonsai look like a tree.”
– John Naka, master bonsai cultivator

Bonsai is a Japanese word that means potted tree or plant. Gardeners interested in their fine and artful care grow these small, living potted trees. All bonsai have been bred and cultivated to reach maturity without getting large – giving them their distinct appearance. Most people interested in caring for bonsai do so by pruning them into artful shapes through the use of pruning tools, metal wires, and specific water and fertilizer treatments.

The most common varieties of the bonsai trees include dwarf juniper, flowering bonsai, outdoor deciduous, and outdoor evergreen. Visit our online store for current bonsai availability.

Interesting Facts About Bonsai

  • To grow a bonsai in a pot, you’ll need to regularly sharpen and prune its branches and roots.
  • Bonsai are not genetically dwarfed plants, which means that any variety of tree can be used to make one – some are just better suited than others.
  • There are some famous bonsai that are close to a thousand years old. One is the Juniper bonsai kept in the Mansei-en nursery in Japan. Another is the oldest existing bonsai in the world, the Ficus retusa Linn, kept at Italy’s Cespi Bonsai Museum. Maybe the next one to appear on this legendary list will be the one you got yourself from Wagners.

Stop in today at one of our garden centers to take a look at the bonsai we offer or visit our online store for current availability. Bonsai availability, varies by season and store.
