Prebonsai material in Europe

[SuperMarioZZZ]

What do you think about the prebonsai material from these shops:

http://bonsai.de/

https://www.bonsai-shop.com/en/bonsai/prebonsai/

In a couple of weeks, the winter will be gone and somebody will build me some shelves in the garden. When it will be ready, I want to order my first "outdoor" trees and start working on them. Probably 10 trees, more or less.

Are the prices correct for the offered quality or high? Share your opinions. If you know other locations in Europe from which I can take some trees, your ideas are welcome.

The first site seems very steep for whats on offer, the 2nd one seems more reasonable

I dont know about the first one, but ive bought from the second one, Wendorf and also https://bonsaischule.de/de/shop.html enger...ive bought lindens, hornbeam and Oak....great prices and great trees, both were good with customer service when i had questions about trees. large selections of European native trees.

I think laosgarden in Spain offer good value too, however climate wise would differ from you and would be a major consideration.
At the very least it can be good to compare prices.

I have to admit I've done business with all mentioned shops. Hard to compare, each of them offers something different...but bonsaischule.de seems to be my favorite. Many many species from seedlings, starters, shohins...depending on how much you want to spend, what journey you plan for a certain tree.
...one more shop from CZ:

@petegreg ; do you happen to know anything about shipping prices within Europe for the CZ store you linked? Their website had no information about it.

Unfortunately not, but shipping to my address is very cheap, like 5€ or so. You can contact them to get more info.

Actually they stocked new Prunus mume, oh well...

And they still offer better and better trees.

This is a general question regarding terminology. On the 2nd website Vlad listed, they show, for example,“Prebonsai, 12 years”. Does this mean it was roughly 12 years old when it was potted as a bonsai; it was in prebonsai training for 12 years before it formally became a bonsai; it is still prebonsai and is 12 years old; or something else? Thank you!

 

[SuperMarioZZZ]

Probably they specify the tree age.

Thanks all for pointing european stores, all of them have great trees with friendly prices. The german one is the most interesting for me.
