I love a bit of knotty pine. This week I had a crack (not literally) at this one. Those of you with eagle eyes may remember this tree from Bonsai World 2013 where Suthin Sukosolvisit wrestled it into a pleasing shape for the first time. Unfortunately I do not have any...

Cheapest Bonsai on the Nursery
The stat's for this blog show I get around 350-450 views a day. Not bad since less than a year ago I was at half that. Thanks to everyone for your support, it's very encouraging. While browsing my stats I noticed a massive peak in interest a while back when my visitor...
Bonsai in Your Lunch Break.
Yesterday I found myself with an hour to spare. I don't know who came up with the idea of wiring a tree but it works for me 🙂 G.
Rammon’s Been Busy
Rammon spends most of his time packing your orders. However when it's quiet I let him loose in the garden. Here's his latest creation. Pretty good from something SOOOO ugly. Rammon is available for public demonstrations etc'. Just drop us a line. G.

Last year I posted an entry on here about what a great time we had at the Heathrow Bonsai Show. The event is on again this year bigger and better than ever in a great new venue. Mark informs me there are 18 bonsai clubs involved. Make a note in your diary to be there,...
Pines On Offer CHEAP!
When you buy as many trees and bonsai as I do you invariably get a few oddities. I also buy too much and often pay over the odds for things. I also underestimate the time I have available to turn raw material into desirable bonsai trees. So, from time to time I have...
Show Date Coming Up
This year again we will be supporting the Bonsai Group Enfield's autumn show. We had a great time at this show last year and I would highly recommend going if you can. We are happy to take along any prepaid orders for collection, saving the shipping cost. If you need...
Copper Breakthrough
Who wouldn't love to break through a copper? Especially those who hide in bushes with speed cameras 😉 Anarchic proclivities aside I have good news for those of you who love using copper wire. For a long time now it has only been possible to find good quality...
