Grown for bonsai in a real nursery

Every tree is raised and hand-selected by Luca in our nursery in northern Italy — grown for bonsai, not garden-centre stock.

Healthy Arrival Guarantee

If your bonsai doesn't arrive healthy and thriving, we'll replace it or refund you.

Growers on WhatsApp

Ongoing support from the people who grew your tree — WhatsApp or email, no question too silly.

What you'll find in our bonsai shop

At Treevaset, bonsai is a process, not a finished product. If you want to buy a bonsai online that you can actually shape, train and refine over the years, this is the material we grow for exactly that.

The shop is organised in four families. Acer palmatum cultivars — our specialty — rare Japanese maples propagated from cutting and selected for refined foliage and compact internodes. Outdoor bonsai: hardy conifers such as pines, spruces, larches and junipers that live outside all year. Young pre-bonsai, chosen for structure and vigour so you can start wiring and pruning from day one. And bonsai starter kits, for those who prefer to begin with tools and guidance included.

Every tree for sale here is cultivated in small batches in our own nursery in northern Italy and shipped across Europe — quality over mass production, always.

Bonsai shop FAQs

Do you ship bonsai across Europe?

Yes — we ship to 18 EU countries directly from our nursery in northern Italy. Every tree is packed for safe transit and covered by our Healthy Arrival Guarantee.

All of them are outdoor trees. They grow outside in the nursery all year — including our Japanese maples — and they belong outside at your home too.

A young tree grown and selected for bonsai training: good structure, vigour and nebari potential. The styling is up to you — that’s the fun part.

If you want a guided start, choose a starter kit — it includes the tree, the tools and our guidance. If you’d rather build your own setup, start with a young pre-bonsai of a forgiving species.

That’s what the Healthy Arrival Guarantee is for: if your bonsai doesn’t arrive healthy and thriving, we’ll replace it or refund you. Just message us with a photo.
