Wigert’s Bonsai

• Sunday, February 20th, 2011

So today I was lucky enough to be invited to collect some pines at Erik Wigert’s Bonsai Nursery. I have been wanting to visit his place for the longest time but finally had a chance to make the nearly 3 hour drive to North Fort Myers.

When I arrived I was amazed on how beautifully arranged his nursery was and the quality of his collection and bonsai material was just wonderful.

They have a nice shop with various bonsai pots and tools along a classroom for training

Here are some photos I took of the nursery and my collected pines

    just wondering why you “collected” australian pines from the bonsai nursery?
    are they suitable for bonsai?

    Claire,

    Yes Australian Pines make wonderful Bonsai. The nusersy was having them removed so we went in to collect a few to make into a bonsai.

    Thanks for asking

    Paul
