Bonsai shops/nurseries near Anaheim or Santa Rosa California?

Sometime before the end of the year it looks like I and my family will be taking a trip to S. California.

I am wondering if there are any great bonsai shops or nurseries around Anaheim, as we will be there to take our boys to Disneyland. It looks like we may be spending a couple days near Santa Rosa just N. of the SF Bay area on our return trip. So is there anything along similar lines around there? This is most likely going to be just "finding where things are" for future trips. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Sam, if you're going down the coast, a good place to check out is the Jonsteen Co. in McKinleyville, a large producer of conifers, especially Redwoods. I have some inside info that there may be alot of bonsaiable material somewhere outback? A little further down the line is Mendocino Maples with over forty varieties of Japanese Maples. Both have .com addresses for more info. Whenever I'm in So.Cal. one place I try to get to is Quail Botanical Gardens, in Encinitas. There are tropicals from all over and you can often buy starters in the gift shop.

Lone Pine Gardens in Sebastopol, CA is just a few miles outside Santa Rosa. Don't miss stopping there. They are becoming one of the best field growers of bonsai material in addition to having tons of bonsai material in all sizes. Also, Jim Gremel's Deer Meadow Bonsai is in Occidental, not far from Santa Rosa. Jim has the best copper wire I've used. If you're going through Sacramento I also recommend stops at Maruyama Bonsai Nursery and Lotus Bonsai Nursery.

If you're taking either the 5 or the 101 north my place Kimura Bonsai is north of Anihiem but on the way to Santa Rosa about 10-15 minutes off either freeway. Fuji bonsai is right off the 5 and House of Bonsai is in Lakewood.
