Is there a list anywhere on here that gives the names of recommended suppliers, if not is it OK to name a supplier and ask for peoples opinions?

The reason for asking is that there is a tree nursery that I'm considering but they're mail order only, so I won't be able to see what I'm getting in advance.

Hi

No there is no such list. We would only recommend our own advertisers and members.

If i were after anything to do with bonsai i'd always go to Greenwoods Bonsai in Nottingham they have a super fast delivery turn around too order on a Monday normally with you on Wednesday if not sooner ;-)

In my opinion 95 % of trees which I have seen advertised on line are either poor quality and overpriced or look like nice trees and are way overpriced. I would visit a specialist tree nursery like greenwood's, or there are some other good suppliers in the UK, or a show when they restart, and get a good feeling for what to expect at what price. Also if you join a bonsai club most members would have the odd tree which they are willing to sell.

Thanks everyone, the place won't even send me a photo so I think I'll give them a miss.

What were you looking for Stephec, maybe there's someone on the group who can help. Where are you based?

I wasn't really after anything specific, just started looking for tree nurseries when this place popped up.

They were showing 30-50cm trees for £9, but no photos.

There's a place near Kirkham that I've been to before, nice trees and prices, I might pay him another visit sometime soon hopefully.

That's the one, he's a nice bloke, showed me round the place and them left me to it to have a look round.

I posted in the styling section for advice on a Hornbeam, that came from him and he only wanted a tenner for it.
