We recently acquired a massive haul of very interesting handmade pots. From what we know the pots were all made by Mr Charles Miller who was obviously passionate about his bonsai. The pots seem to have been made from the late nineties through to around 2007. There are a few unique oddities but mostly these are just beautiful pots.
Over the next couple of months the pots will be thoroughly cleaned, photographed and listed on our web site for sale. There is close to half a ton of pots so be patient š

I was recently the guest of some great guys behind the Cyprus Bonsai Forum http://bonsaicyprus.forumotions.com/. We first met last year when everyone visited our nursery for a couple of days. I was very pleased to receive an invitation to visit. Because of pressure on my time I could only manage a short visit this time.
Working with Stavros, Greg and Savvas reminded me of when I started my bonsai journey 20 years ago. So much enthusiasm and so much excitement is great to be around. I felt like being around a bunch of kids, these guys have so much energy…. and so many questions… and so many plants too! That is just what it takes to succeed with bonsai and these guys will go all the way for sure.
I am amazed that bonsai does not seem to have more of a following in Cyprus. However left to my friends here the word is sure to spread and I am VERY pleased to be able to help in a small way.
Thanks for a great weekend guys and for your ongoing support it was a privilege and an honour to be a part of your journey and hope to be back soon.

Kaizen Bonsai have spent years developing some very unique soil mixes. These help produce bonsai in double quick time. Our soil mixes encourage profuse rooting which in turn produces exceptional top growth.
Today we re-potted a hawthorn collected two years ago. This is a very old tree collected from a dying hedgerow. When we potted it two years ago it only had a teaspoon of root.
The tree was planted in a deep pot in our No1 Bonsai soil mix.
After just two years LOOK AT ALL THOSE ROOTS!
Two years ago this tree had no roots and no branches. A combination of good soil and good fertilizer (Green Dream) have put this ailing tree on the road to becoming bonsai.

Today I had to part company with a very beautiful mugo pine. It’s off to the far side of Europe and I am sad to see him go š
Our large trees are shipped by road to anywhere within the EU.
This one will be on the road for about 6 days.
Labelled up and now all we need is a truck!

We really are a bunch of skip rats!
The old saying goes that one mans muck is another mans money. This rabid pile of dirt looks like junk for sure but, being a little unhinged we were pleased to pay money for it all!
Being privet (ligustrum) we can be 100% confident these will all survive. Privet grows at an alarming rate and these will all be available from our web site next summer…. at very good prices too!
You should see the state of what we discarded!
It took two of us all day but we got it all sorted out and this is the result.
The end of a busy day and another 100 odd trees take a place in the nursery.
