The Craig Coussins Bonsai collec

My garden July 2011 the entire collection is now for sale at £28 thousand pounds including all pots. Euro32000

This is a 400 year old Mugho Pine from the Dolomites. The ancient twisted trunk is natural. The pot was created for this Bonsai by Alan Harriman to suggest mountains in the glaze.

The collection includes a number of large Yamadori medium size Bonsai and Shohin. Almost every major style of Bonsai is represented. The Bonsai have created over the past 40 years by masters such as John Naka, Peter Adams, Peter Foele, Gary Marchal, Salvatore Liporace and of course, Craig Coussins. Interested buyers will need to come and see the collection. The collection, built up over 40 years is being sold as one lot and will not be split. Perfect for someone wanting to add Bonsai to an existing collection or starting a Bonsai Nursery.

After 45 years I am retiring from growing Bonsai and would now like to focus on my Suiseki and Scrolls business.

In selling this collection I have worked out a very reasonable price that is well below market value. The great majority of the Bonsai are grown from Yamadori, collected material or seed with less than 5% being imported trees. The Bonsai are in good shape and form and are maintained on a very regular basis by myself and, for the past three years, Peter Foele who has worked at Ginko for many years.

I have not yet photographed every individual tree as there are in excess of 60 Bonsai but as this is a large collection it would always be better for a buyer to come and view the collection. I can also arrange your pickup from the airport or train station and local accommodation.

Craig working on a Larch grove started in 1987 from collected seedlings and featured in his first book, Bonsai for Beginners. The pot is a signed pot of great quality and the grove of five thick trunked trees have been in this pot since 1988.
