Nursery Note: These trees, while entirely healthy and vibrant, represent stock that didn't quite meet our standards for "Grade A" material — usually meaning that they lack a true leader, have an odd form, or were munched by a deer at some point. But the peculiarity of these trees is also an advantage: if you're looking to build a bonsai collection, this could be the perfect deal for you!

Size Chart

Seedling Size Chart: Medium

Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
