bonsai trees

[Nerva]

i am trying to get a bonsai tree for my cubicle, and i am wondering if there are any enthusiast here, to recommend a good site where i can order one from. the site has to be reliable, etc. thanks!

I'm an enthusiast, but I don't know of any sites to get them from. I've seen them in local supermarkets, but they're usually pretty lame. Real bonsai will be very expensive.

If you want to keep it any length of time, it will need to be taken care of. I guess it would be a good way to start learning the techniques.

It's the most fun to create your own.

They have little kits that you can buy at Barnes & Noble, IIRC.

hmm, where am i suppose to get one then? i dont really have time to shop around outside of work. i saw this site, bonsaiboy, but i am not sure if the ones i get from there will actually look like the picture.

Look around on eBay.

It will probably look somewhat like the picture.

Do your reading before you buy - I got one for someone as a present once and she killed it within a month.

eBay has a ton. My dad got us some when we were kids, they're great
