Growing Tips
The mugo pine grows quite slowly and it only grows once a year. In spring, the buds swell, candles rise and the needles appear. If you prune this year's shoot, you won't get a second bud. Buds may form on the twigs but needles will not form until the following spring. Note that it is absolutely necessary to leave needles/buds on a branch, if you cut everything off it will not rebud backwards like on a deciduous tree.
How does the delivery work?
We ship bonsai throughout France and neighbouring countries that are part of the EU.
Each bonsai is individually wrapped in a wooden box, with the pot securely attached to avoid any risk of breakage of the pottery or branching.
Depending on the size and/or weight, the shipment is made by La Poste or by specialized carrier (with appointment by SMS).
In order to prevent your bonsai from staying in transit for too long, shipments are never made on weekends or during heat waves.

The + of our bonsai nursery
The bonsai tree you see in the picture is really the one you are going to receive. To find out the dimension, refer to the scale on the side. Each product is unique and we take care to take photos that give you the most accurate preview possible of what you will receive.
All bonsai are produced in our large nursery in Lot-et-Garonne. They are therefore perfectly adapted to the climate of France, which is not always the case with Japanese imports.
We have more than 3000 bonsai trees for sale at the nursery and tens of thousands under cultivation and work. This site is only a meagre representation of our production, but it is impossible for us to put all our stock online. So if you're passing by, don't hesitate to visit us!
