Subalpine Fir Bonsai and Prebonsai 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.

Subalpine Fir / Abies lasiocarpa Bonsai Available in Columbus, Ohio from In Vivo Bonsai

            Subalpine fir are native to the western US and are extremely cold hardy, outdoor trees with great examples as bonsai.

SF1 - Dwarf grafted nursery stock

This is a tree I wouldn't mind keeping but it is pretty raw right now. My first step would be to repot into bonsai soil and leave it in an oversized pot. Then I will thin the branches to remove areas with clusters and select which branches we want to use for further ramification. After asking around, a ground or air layer may be possible to get the dwarf graft on its own roots, but it will be a multi-year project and the tree will need to be very vigorous first. The lower shoot will also need to be allowed to get much bigger if the goal is to separate it into 2 trees in the end.

$125 OBO.
