Where can I find established Bonsai trees and/or saplings in DFW?
I am wanting to start training bonsai, but I have only been able to find one place with newly established trees and but they do not have what I want (Cypress, Hornbeam or Japanese Maple). I am open to more varieties, but am mostly interested in those. I’m wanting to grow from seed, but I want at least one established tree as well to start working on. Saplings would also be very helpful.
I drive from Plano to Denton to Dallas to Garland to Wylie to Corsicana very often, so anything even remotely around those areas would be great, but since I do drive around, anything in the Dallas and east FTW areas would be fine. I am wanting to pick up the tree locally rather than having one shipped.
If you take a newspaper that lists club meetings, watch for bonsai clubs. They’d be very pleased to have you join, and plant people are always willing to show newcomers how to do things. DFW is a big enough area that there ought to be at least one bonsai club in the area. You could also ask at locally-owned plant nurseries if they know of any bonsai clubs.

Bloody Bonsai $3.95 James P. (Jim) Dandy, a grieving widower, could hardly believe he’d agreed to go to an Elderhostel to learn to grow and care for bonsai trees. He didn’t feel up to meeting new people alone. But Jim went and he met some real corkers – artist Dodee Swisher who set his heart on fire; his gruff, ex-army-man roommate; a raven-haired gymnast who exercised on the balcony every morning. Any one of them could have rammed that bonsai tree into the chest of a motel employee, but the authorities were clearly focusing their attention on Jim and Dodee… |
