Heading to India shortly and was looking for bonsai material etc what should I be looking out for ?
I was wondering the same thing.How to import to New Zealand? Unique ecosystem and flora/fauna certainly not amiable to foreign invasive plant matter?
Or are you moving there?
There are a few bonsai here that are fabulous, but I am a little surprised how many are just kind of so so for a National Exhibit. I have seen better work here on the nut. I am not a bonsai snob by any means, and I have tons of respect for Indian culture and history, but as nice as the park is, few of the bonsai shown here wow me.There is apparently quite a bonsai "scene" in India. I've got Facebook bonsai groups with Indian members who post alot. Material is tropical (obviously), so moving to NZ might present some issues. Lots of ficus, including Bodhi Trees, etc.

I'm not surprised. Bonsai in India is not as mature as it is here, although it has a long history of "modern" bonsai. John Naka used to visit there on his travels and had students there. That was quite a while ago, however. Lots of factors, from economic to extremely challenging climate there.There are a few bonsai here that are fabulous, but I am a little surprised how many are just kind of so so for a National Exhibit.

Wow very cool Ficus religiosas!!Collect seeds! I went to India in 2011 and visited the mahabodhi tree. I collected seeds and planted them and kept them as house plants for many years. They are now bonsai
