Bonsai 盆栽

David Cheshire Nurseries Ltd are specialist nursery growers of bonsai from starter trees to mature, unique and highly desirable specimens for decerning collectors.

Bonsai are trees grown in a pot and pruned and maintained to create a miniature piece of art representing trees found in nature. The skill of the grower is to produce a tree that looks like it has never been touched by a human hand.

All of our outdoor bonsai trees are fully hardy in the UK. Some are imported from specialist bonsai nurseries in Japan and suppliers in Europe, but a great many are grown by us right here in the UK.

We are currently working with our team in Japan to import stock directly to the UK. Here, we manage the import, arrival and the quarantine of imported trees on-site at our nursery.
