Newcastle bonsai?
Was wondering if there are any bonsai nurseries in Newcastle. I'm heading there this weekend and was hoping I might be able to add a plant or two to my collection.

Re: Newcastle bonsai?
Nothing that we have listed on the Directory There is a bonsai club in Newcastle though
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!

Re: Newcastle bonsai?
I was up that way a few weeks ago and saw a bonsai sign at a nursery near the Kotara bunnings. Perhaps one of the locals can confirm?

Re: Newcastle bonsai?

Re: Newcastle bonsai?
Hi ma7t,
Deffinatly no bonsai outlets in this neck of the woods. Afraid you will have to troll through the standard garden centres when you see one. Some material can be found in some of these with a good eye.

Re: Newcastle bonsai?
Thanks guys. That's a bit of a shame, I'm sure I'll still manage to find something to throw money at in a nursery anyway.

Re: Newcastle bonsai?
No, its a black hole as far as cultures concerned. Any nurseries worth your time have been squashed by the dozens of bunnings that control the area.Jarad wrote:Are there anyBonsai things to see in Newcastle?

Such a shame about the nurseries, I know what you mean though. I have a bunnings and a master's about 2 minutes from me and 1 of the 2 regular nurseries within that distance has closed down.
where do you all get your bonsai stock from?

Re: Newcastle bonsai?
If im buying it I will go to syd, otherwise its a shovel and someones hedgerow. Theres still a few small nurseries where you can find the odd bit of neglected material that can trained into something halfway decent.Jarad wrote:Thanks Andrew!Andrew F wrote: No, its a black hole as far as cultures concerned.

You're in a better position than I am, bonsai world is worth a look. Lots of good stock and really affordable prices.

I could comfortably say I’m up at Bonsai World almost fortnightly acquiring trees and tools and then getting into trouble… I should apply for a job there…
