Yew 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 Yews As Shrubs, Pests and Diseases, and Bonsai Trees

            More yew articles coming soon! I have 1 brief article where I previously shared a styling I did with some nursery stock yew material. Yews are shade tolerant, flexible, backbud relatively well for a conifer, and their deadwood is extremely durable. I have not observed much disease on them at all but occasionally they may get low levels of scale insects which are easily removed by hand.

Ryan's Yew Bonsai for Sale

            The yew bonsai and prebonsai options I have for sale are bonsai pictured below; all are all rescues from landscaping redesigns. These are available for pickup in Columbus, OH at my nursery or you may contact me (invivobonsai@gmail.com) with inquiries. Sometimes I travel to neighboring states so delivery may be a possibility with a 10% non-refundable deposit to hold the tree for you. Suggested prices are listed but feel free to make an offer.

Yews dug by plumbers in 2023. In this picture the far left and far right survived. 

The following pictures are from fall 2023. The trees are all pushing new growth now in 2024 and can be or have been pruned back to promote backbudding. I will continue to develop them while I have them. Ask for updated pictures if interested.

Big Yew #1

Yew 1 side 1. Dug June 2023, pictured in fall of 2023, and has survived and is now growing vigorously. Asking $325 OBO. It has excellent trunk, deadwood, and backbudding. Ready for initial styling.

Yew 1 side 2. Dug June 2023, pictured in fall of 2023, and has survived and is now growing vigorously. Asking $325 OBO. It has excellent trunk, deadwood, and backbudding. Ready for initial styling.

Update Fall 2024

Now over 1 year from digging, the tree backbudded abundantly allowing me to prune back the overly long foliage by about a foot. I also cleaned the bark off the deadwood and broke up the flat chops. Next year I will allow it to backbud again to possibly further refine branch selection and potentially start pulling branches/wiring.

Big Yew #3

Yew 3. Dug June 2023, pictured in fall of 2023, and has survived and is now growing vigorously. Asking $130 OBO. It has excellent trunk, deadwood, and backbudding but much more of the vigorous growth is at the extremities. It will need more time to recover to induce backbudding or possibly some grafting. It has some smaller interior shoots currently, but they need time to thicken and become more useful. I would give this one an additional year before trying any styling.
