I have been given the opportunity to visit a full-on bonsai nursery this weekend, a nursery that is around 5 hours away, so I plan on reaping what I can from this trip. I am looking to find some special bonsai species and features I normally can't get from a typical garden centre.
Does anybody have any suggestions of what to look for (species/feature wise) or the best things I should get before I go? For example, getting species like shimpaku, finding trees with good nebari since they have been trained as bonsai, or getting proper bonsai soil and pots is some things I plan on doing. I don't want to leave with regret because I forgot to buy some tool/hard to find species that only found in a bonsai nursery!
