Bonsai Nut
Nuttier than your average Nut
Just picked up 8 nice Japanese Maples from this group, so I thought I'd give them a quick review. Their web site is nicely laid out and very informative. Lots of photos and care instructions. The ordering process was straight-forward, and I had my trees 5 days after I ordered (including two weekend days when they probably weren't in their office).
The thing that pleased me most about the experience was their packaging. My one gallon trees came in standard nursery pots and were supported by bamboo stakes. They then had newspaper over the soil, were bagged in plastic, taped into a heavy cardboard tray with strapping tape, and then the tray was taped and stapled into a taller cardboard box. All trees came with identification tags that included not only the tree name, but also description and growth characteristics.
My order came with detailed invoices, care instructions, and a 550 page nursery catalog (!) that is normally $5 but they included for free. Best of all, I felt like I was dealing with a family business and "real" people. I had one question about my order to which they responded quickly.
I would recommend them for anyone ordering Japanese Maples. In addition to all of the above, their prices were very reasonable.
