Pre-Bonsai

2020 was the busiest year since I started this business in 1976. At the conclusion of the Christmas season I had a total of 17 bonsai left for sale. Since December 26th I have spent every spare minute making and photographing new bonsai. Because of this, the pre-bonsai section has fallen to its lowest level ever. I have hundreds of pre-bonsai available, but not on the site. If there is a species in the bonsai section you would like to see as pre-bonsai please send an email to [email protected] or call 917-325-3954 during the day and if available I will add it to the list.

Pre-Bonsai have had some training, but are not yet in a bonsai pot.

When ordering a Pre-Bonsai you will get the Pre-Bonsai in the photo you select, not one of our choosing.

Pre-Bonsai listed as Sub-Tropical are also known as "Indoor Bonsai".

Pre-Bonsai Listed as Temperate need cold winters. See below for more details.

For detailed day to day care instructions for the pre-bonsai ordered please write

"Send care sheet" in the comments box at the bottom of the order form.

Climate categories can be confusing. In an attempt to simplify them, we have listed pre-bonsai that require a warm climate year-round as "Sub-Tropical" They can be kept indoors year-round, or kept outdoors when the temperature is in the mid 40's or above.

Some pre-bonsai require cold winters to survive. We have listed this group as "Temperate" If you live in an area that is warm year-round do not order from this group.

If you are not sure which group will do best in your area, call 917-325-3954 7 days a week between 10:30 and 5:00 Eastern Time. We will be happy to discuss which species of pre-bonsai will do best in your area.

With any pre-bonsai purchased you may request a detailed care sheet listing the temperature, watering and light needs for your pre-bonsai in the "Comments" box at the bottom of the order form.
