Thought I would put up some info about Bonsai World because I didn't find out about it until recently and I couldn't find much info online.
Just a reminder, I'm the worst at taking pictures. Also not and advert, I'm just a random who gets excited looking at trees.
This place has a many, many quality display (not for sale) trees. So it's worth it just to go and look at the trees. They are in a few different sections.
This place has a huge selection of pots. I wasn't in the market for pots so I didn't look closely but they said they imported them from a few countries.
One of the frustrations I've had in the past is finding somewhat-worked-on pre-bonsai stock. They had quite a few of the more popular plants which had been semi-wired at very reasonable prices. They also had some elms which look like they were in pre-training for root-over-rock that you could buy. So, there mere many plants that had been trimmed, some wire applied so you don't have to wrestle with a 30cm straight trunk which needs to be taken home and chopped immediately.
There was a very decent range of trees: small / medium / developed. The majority of stock was labelled and priced.
They had the usual bonsai supplies. They also recently imported some pallets of Japanese pumice/kanuma/scoria/akadama.
Just search up Bonsai World Jilliby on Google for their socials and directions to get there.
The guys who work there are super friendly and you can tell the effort they have put into the place. A big win for the Sydney/Central/Lake/Newcastle + surrounds bonsai community
