Bonsai Trees from Japan?

[DznyGrlSD]

My mother wants a bonsai tree for Christmas - do you think that they can/will send me one from the Japan pavilion at EPCOT? Does anyone recall how much they are?

I would think that you could probably get a better deal at your local nursery.

True...however...how cool would it be getting one delivered from Disney? Yes, I'm that big of a geek

Then expect to pay about twice what it would cost at home plus shipping. (which could be quite high depending upon the size of the plant.)

Also...UPS/FedEx is NOT known for being gentle with packages...especially during the holidays....expect shipping damage as well.

I just wouldn't trust the plant to arrive healthy.

Very true unkadug...as always I guess it's a trip to the local greenhouse for this girl. I'll wrap it in Disney wrapping, that's what I'll do - LOL

I agree with unkadug. Go to a local nursery. Small bushes can also be cut back to be excellent bonsai. I wouldn't spend an extravagant amount on it though because a lot of people have bad luck with their first bonsai.
