SISKIYOU GARDENS BONSAI NURSERY
Rachel Winters, owner

July update: Lots of really nice bonsai have found new homes but there are about thirty still available for sale at good prices. A few red Japanese maples, half dozen green maples, some dwarf conifers, cryptomerias and a couple of very large old ones including a little leaf linden, a liquidambar and a paperbark maple. Smaller ceramic bonsai pots, a few large handmade grove pots and quite a few plastic training pots are still available as well.

I am retiring from caring for so many bonsai!  Humongous sale – Japanese  maples, lots of dwarf conifers, hand made ceramic bonsai pots, some tools. Small conifer and maple starts in 4 inch pots up to very large old lindens, maples, pines and more. Prices from $15 for the 4 inch up to $200 for a few of the 40+ year old trees. 

Please phone me (no texts) at our landline and leave a clear message (541-476-6243)- repeat the phone  number since it’s often garbled with poor connections or you can send an email to siskiyougardens@gmail.com to make an appointment to see what we’ve got till they are all gone. We are 4 miles southwest of downtown grants pass.

My nursery includes hardy outdoor finished bonsai in ceramic pots for gifts or yourself; outdoor bonsai starts for the bonsai hobbyist; or trees for containers. As mine is a hobby nursery, my prices are very reasonable. (I do not ship plants.)

My plants are either propagated from cuttings, many right at the Nursery;  or grown up from seedlings. Since they are not grafted they will not revert back to a different type and are usually hardier. Since they have not been shipped in from outside the area or raised in a greenhouse they are hardy and disease free. I also offer bonsai coaching.

New handcrafted ceramic bonsai pots created by Rachel – each one unique. See pictures below.

The bonsai we sell are all hardy outdoor plants and will not tolerate an indoor location. The best garden exposure is morning sun with afternoon shade. If you live where the summer temperature can get in the mid 90’s or higher, it’s best to put the bonsai on the ground where the root zone can be cooler during this period. Water every day just as you would any potted flowers or other plants.

The root zone needs some winter protection when the temperature gets down to the 20’s and lower. I find the best way to do this is by putting the bonsai on the ground in a sheltered location such as underneath shrubs or trees and raking leaves over the pot. In my experience, the ceramic pots do not crack and the leaves provide adequate insulation for the plants. If it gets quite cold, in the low teens, I supplement this by putting a frost blanket such as Reemay row cover over the plants.
