I spoke to Selby about there web site and the need to update the days they are closed. He said that the web company has been letting them down. But if any travels long distance to find he gate closed jsut to ring them and if they are home. He will come and open the gate so you have not wasted you time.

that has just re instated my trust of the nursery, i am glad they have the time for people to do something like that. i actually rang bonsai place i think it is in nerangba when i was there and they wouldnt travel 5 minutes down the road to do so.

its a shame that the people that look after there site havent updated it properly it would save them a lot of grief and potentially lost customers.

G'day

About 10 to 12 years ago, several years before I became hooked on bonsai a friend took me to a nursery on the sunshine coast up past Buderim. Nether he or myself can remember its address. Just wondering if anyone knows if it still exists and /or were it is.

i was in and around buderim recently, i didnt see or find any nurseries there, shannon might know more though?

This is the thing Jamie it was that long ago i cant even remember were we turned of the Hwy. But i know it was up there some were.

i dont think it is around any more andrew, i would love to know it is as it is no where near as far of a drive as it is to brisbane for me.

the nursery is keil mtn rd in didilibah but it closed a few years back unfortunatly it was good i went their a bit as a kid the husband became ill and it became to much work so all stock was sold off but their is a lady not far from their that sels pots wire some tools and plants its called bonsai starter and opens by appointment its in the yellow pages

Cheers Danye

I was hoping someone out there would know were it was. Its a shame it has closed down.

Hopefully heading down to the gold coast nurseries soon, if the boss gets back from the hairdressers that is, I'll let you know how they are.

If anyone else is going to be there let me know

Cheers Regan

Hi AngesK
There was a nursery at White Rock just south of Cairns, I was there in 2006 it is in the owners back yard not a big nursery but he had some good stock you could try their. I am pretty shore he would still be operating.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the reply. I went looking for that nursery in White rock a couple of weekends ago actually
Turns out they closed down 4yrs ago - so not long after you visited i guess.

I have found a small range of bonsai and stock at Bunnings on the north of Cairns so that's a start!

Cheers,
Agnes

hi agnes,

be careful with the big "B" stock and trees, try and avoid those that are in pots already. i have only ever seen two good trees from my local and one i got the other one died due to lack of care and knowledge before i could get it. being so far north i would definately be looking at figs, they are great to work with and you should be able to collect a lot of older specimens
