    Does anyone know where I can get a bonsai tree, or a good supplier of them in Ireland? Google only turned up trees.ie, which has a grand total of two listed. Thanks!

    It might be a seasonal thing, but I can't find them in Atlantic Homecare or Woodies or any of them. Also that bonsai shop's website is offline. :(

    Website might be offline but they are still going... just head in. I heard a radio ad for them during the week.

    I got a bonsai for my dad last year in Atlantic.. an avid gardener... It was dead within a week. I think he did not listen to me and gave it too much water or something.

    Yes they can be pretty delicate little things. In Japan, apprentices are given pruning shears on their first day, but don't touch a watering can for four years, so they say. The oldest bonsai in the world is over 270 years old. Thanks for the info, I'll give those lads a call and see if they'll post me a catalogue or something, since their email is probably down too.
