I remember in that movie the Karate Kid the guy teached that kid how to trim the tree.

lol, this is the first place that popped into my mind. I always see it when I pass there.

[wouwou]

I think there's a stand in that Royal Oak mall, somewhere near HMV

I have to thank you for remind me I have been wanting to get a bonsai tree. I have always wanted one sitting on my counter.

This one seems to be the same one as Sunny Bonsai

I guess they changed their name to Bonsai Orchid =/ Weird.

Really depends what you are looking for. A good bonsai ranges for $130-$200. Yes you can buy one cheaper but the ages 6-15yrs it's easier to maintain and prune to the way you want it. I would research on the internet the different options and tree's then go to one or two of the stores ask the questions and find out for your self.

I really looked into it a couple years back and brushed it aside until now. I think i'm going to go out tomm and get my first one.

This reminds me of that saved by the bell episode where screech was trying to help mr. belding trim his bonsai tree to keep him distracted while zack snuck out to win concert tix. Boy that's random haha

[trip]

ive owned a couple.. i now have two left.. i dont even take care of em anymore

fyi .. its more difficult to care for them in your house, as its dry in your house.. unless u dont mind misting it every day

if you want an indoor bonsai get a banyan tree, i had two and they died from parasites lol

larger bonsai will cost about $200..the smaller ones they have there are anywhere from 40-80$

IMO just get a bigger one man or buy mine lol

[fliptuner]

^^^
But yours are all infested and crap......j/k

Post a pic dude.

Rupert and Broadway, there's a Bonsai Store!

[unit]

my coworker bought a young one for $50, and its pretty nice! the place he got it offers lifetime free pruning as well

[ASG111]

so does anyone know whether the location that is provided in the link called "Bonsai Orchid" is the same store as "Sunny Bonsai"? They seem to be located at the same place and I can only find the number for "Sunny Bonsai" via Google but not for "Bonsai Orchid"..

[trip]

same place and i believe life time pruning is correct

if u want them to wire and help shape your bonsai, its like 10-15$

my infested ones died and its hard for a picture because mines an odd ball shape (not similar to the ones above at all) and it hasnt been pruned in a season or two lol

[InvisibleSoul]

The owner of Sunny Bonsai/Bonsai Orchid is a family friend... they've been around for many, many years... same people as the ones that had the stand at Metrotown before.

My dad plays around with Bonsai trees too... he has a lot of cool ones where he shapes the branches into hearts and stuff.

[sam0m0]

anyone have kyoto moss spores for their bonsai? if so where did you guys get it and is it hard to maintain
