How do I know which is the best tree to choose as a gift?

There are a few factors. One is a choice between an indoor tree versus an outdoor tree and how easily that tree can be maintained by the person who it will belong to. It will also come down to how the look of the tree suits the person who will own it and finally, it comes down to what tree will best fit your budget. The best way to pick a tree is go to our section - Pick the Perfect Tree.

How long does it take to create a Bonsai?

Some of our trees are less than ten years old and some of them are more than 30. A bonsai tree is never finished. It will continue to grow - like the living work of nature that it is.

How do you know my tree will be different?

Every tree you see on this site is a one of a kind. The picture you see isn't just a Bonsai tree - It's the exact tree you'll get? Because of that, you can keep coming back to this site for future gifts because our inventory is constantly changing.

How do you look after a Bonsai tree?

The exact needs depend on the type of tree but in many ways they're a lot like other house and garden plants - they need water, sunshine and food. The outdoor trees need a rest period - so they winter outside in most places with different degrees of protection.  Check out out Bonsai Care section for more information.

The best answer is to write us at info@zengardenbonsai.com. We'll be in touch to help you out any way we can.

Do you ship everywhere?

No, unfortunately not.  We ship US Bonsai trees only to the US and even then not to California or Hawaii.  We ship Canadian Bonsai trees only within Canada.  Moving trees across the border is just too tough to do - sorry.  We ship our other products to the USA and to Canada.
