TESTIMONIALS
We went to the Bonsai and Brews at 3 Daughters last night and it was awesome! Larry is not only knowledgeable, he is kind. There was no concern about doing it "wrong", they gave support and gentle guidance and encouraged us to be creative and tell a story with our bonsai styles. Larry's passion for bonsai is contagious and he's got a real skill for showing the beauty of the art. 10/10
This place is a real hidden gem. Great selection of trees, all of which are in peak health. Everything from pre-bonsai to trees many decades old are on display. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. Support a local business instead of buying a tree at a big box store. Will definitely be back.
What an incredibly beautiful display of bonsai. He was extremely knowledgeable and meticulous in his craft! We bought 4 bonsai from him and wanted to replant them in the proper season. He was kind enough to make sure we had all the proper equipment and walk us through each step. I would highly recommend this business for any and all bonsai needs. HE ALSO DOES WORKSHOPS!!! How cool!!!!

About Bonsai
Here, you’ll find answers to the most common questions about the fascinating art of bonsai.
What is a Bonsai Tree?
A bonsai tree is a miniature tree grown in a container, designed to replicate the shape and scale of a full-sized tree. The art of bonsai involves careful pruning, wiring, and care to maintain its small size and aesthetic form.
Is Bonsai a Specific Species of Tree?
No, bonsai is not a specific species. Any tree or shrub species can be grown as a bonsai. The term “bonsai” refers to the art form and technique of growing miniature trees in containers.
Can Traditional Bonsai Be Grown Indoors?
Traditional bonsai are typically grown outdoors. However, some species, like Ficus and Carmona, can be grown indoors if they receive adequate light and care.
Where Did Indoor Bonsai Originate?
Indoor bonsai practices originated from the adaptation of traditional bonsai techniques to suit indoor environments. This adaptation became popular as people sought to bring the beauty of bonsai into their homes.
Indoor bonsai practices gained popularity through the efforts of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, particularly under the leadership of bonsai curator Frank Okamura, who helped popularize the concept of growing bonsai indoors3.
How Does Bonsai Work?
Bonsai involves growing trees in small containers, pruning roots and branches, and shaping the tree to create a miniature version of a natural tree. This process requires regular care and maintenance.
Are Bonsai Trees Easy to Keep Alive?
With attentive care, bonsai trees can flourish and endure for many years. They demand particular conditions, including adequate watering, sunlight, and regular pruning, yet they are not naturally delicate.
What Kind of Pot Do I Need for Bonsai?
Bonsai pots need to be shallow to limit root growth and feature drainage holes to avert waterlogging, ensuring the health of your tree. Additionally, the size and shape of the pot should beautifully complement the style and aesthetics of the bonsai, enhancing its overall visual appeal.
