What is the price of a bonsai tree?

In any hobby or passion, the financial aspect inevitably plays an important role. Our goal has always been to promote the art of bonsai to as many people as possible with a pricing policy that allows everyone to be able to get started in the wonderful world of small potted trees.

What makes a bonsai tree so expensive?

For most manufactured objects, the price is mainly a function of the raw material, the elements that compose it. For bonsai it's a little different, you can't consider that the price is only that of the seed or the cutting. Because wehave grown them for 10, 20 or even more than 30 years for the oldest bonsai in the nursery.

And it's not just a matter of letting a seed grow on its own for decades. Every day we are in the middle of our trees, watering them, pruning them, repotting them. The price of a bonsai tree is therefore first and foremost the time spent growing and working it.

There are also some species that are more vigorous than others, whose trunks grow faster, or branch more easily. Thus, a Japanese maple will generally be less expensive than a bonsai oak which has a much slower growth.

Finally, it is also necessary to take into consideration the rarity of a species and the quality of the bonsai itself. We work with living beings, who do not all react in the same way. Some will develop a beautiful star-shaped root base, or pretty branches. These aesthetic qualities will therefore influence the final price.

Where to buy a cheap bonsai?

Not everyone can afford to spend a few thousand euros on a bonsai tree imported from Japan. It is also becoming more and more complicated to import bonsai in France, the regulations have been strongly tightened in recent years. For example, it is completely forbidden to import black pines, and the same will be true for many other species.

In our bonsai nursery, we have chosen local production. We've been working on this for over 30 years. Most of the time, we started with seeds, cuttings or small plants that we grew in the ground and then in pots to form a beautiful trunk and dense branching. Our goal has always been to offer bonsai at the best price you will be able to work with.

We have seen that the price of a bonsai tree depends heavily on the time spent working it. So to buy a cheap bonsai, you have to agree to continue the work we started. With us, you won't see bonsai trees that have already been shaped, tied, perfectly licked with no leaves sticking out. We offer you magnificent bases of work that you can develop on your own, in a club or in the workshop.

A direct nursery bonsai is therefore to take advantage of the best price while leaving you the freedom of the final shape, the choice of branches, the style. That's the real work of bonsaika, putting your hands in your tree, making it evolve, working on it by adding your personal touch.
