We carefully root prune at each repotting to encourage lateral rootspread as the first stage of developing bonsai with great nebari. Regular pruning in the field and in the nursery builds trees with taper and dynamic trunk movement.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2748\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2748\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2748\" src=\"https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CH070260s-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CH070260s-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CH070260s-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CH070260s-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CH070260s-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shibuibonsai.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CH070260s-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2748\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bonsai starters<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our main emphasis has been on growing and supplying traditional bonsai favourites such as Trident and Japanese maples, Chinese elms, Black pines and Shimpaku juniper but we also grow smaller numbers of other species with potential as bonsai.<\/p>\n<p>More recently we have been growing small numbers of Australian native trees, many of which are proving quite adaptable to bonsai.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you may have seen our trees for sale at major bonsai shows and events.
