T&T in the NE.

I believe they are going for $400+ at T&T.

Edit: I think the ones they have there are aged at apx. 40 years plus (Not entirely sure so don't quote me on it).

Go to Pacific Place Mall in the NE. There is a little flower/plant shop there that sells a boat load of them.

Range from $40 to $1000.00

Are these fairly easy to take care of? They look really cool and I'd like to get one!

Sunnyside Home and Garden in Bowness may have one. I remember they use to before.


Price was around $100 IIRC

I would call first.

T&T and Chinatown (there's a strip mall with a flower shop across the street from harry hays).

We had a Bonzai tree. Personally, they look great but holy hell are they tough to keep alive. They need a butt load of sunlight and you can't water them directly, apparently, you need to spritz them. They also get this weird moss that grows on the stalk and soil that you need to pick off because it robs the tree of water and other nutrients it needs to live.

Cool looking but never again.

more often than not, those "tied-up" minature trees are just that... and are intended to grow outside...

its easier to find one that is made out of a ficus and keep those ones going as they are resiliant to virtually any condition

I water it every few days... (Pouring water in) gone away on holidays... its been fine. May not have as many leaves as it could, but its still alive and growing.
