Barberry Bonsai for Sale

Pickup, Delivery, and Shipping Options/Policy

            Local pickup is free in the Columbus, Ohio area, or pickup is also available when I road trip, especially to bonsai shows around my area of the Midwest. Delivery is also free if not more than 15 minutes out of my way from home or on any of these trips. See here for the most updated list of pickup sites/delivery routes I will be making in the coming months. 

            If you would like to have any of my products shipped to you, see my Etsy page invivobonsai.etsy.com (almost all prices include shipping) or contact me if the item is not listed on my Etsy and I'll look into a cost estimate. Contacting me can also get you a cheaper price than buying through Etsy as there will be fewer fees and shipping multiple items can be combined.

            Trees are the hardest to ship due to height, unusual size, and uneven weight so these are ideal for the local pickup. I will try to add more trees this summer/fall to my online store here and Etsy though for your convenience.

About Barberry As Shrubs, a Potential Invader, and Bonsai Trees

            Read more on this species and how to identify and train them into bonsai here in my recent article. Briefly, while these make great bonsai due to their small leaves and colorful interest, there is no native barberry in the state of Ohio. Those listed here are Japanese barberry which is not officially listed as invasive in Ohio but they can escape cultivation. The European barberry with a more serrated leaf is known to be invasive here though and should not be propagated or allowed to set seeds.

This barberry clump was dug in spring 2023 and photographed in fall 2023. In 2024 it has leafed out
