Bullseye Bonsai Company Information

General information

Our Mission Statement

Bullseye Bonsai is a nursery that is dedicated to increasing the public’s awareness and participation in the art of Bonsai. We believe that this is especially important with younger generations. We offer high quality Bonsai material at affordable and competitive prices. We believe that it is not enough to just “make a sale” but it is equally important to make sure that our customers leave the nursery with the knowledge they need to maintain and properly care for their Bonsai. We welcome questions from anyone that has them and want our customers to know that we are more than happy to answer any and all questions that may arise regarding their purchase or Bonsai in general. We believe that those who are new to the Bonsai community should be made confident with their ability to care for their Bonsai. Because of this, our customers have a safety net in the form of, the ability to contact the nursery with any additional questions relating to the care and maintenance of their purchase at any time. We do this not only because we believe it is morally the right thing to do, but also because, by doing so, we help turn a Bonsai novice into a confident Bonsai artist. Lastly, we believe in always doing the moral and ethical thing, even if this is not the profitable thing.

Hours and Days of Operation

The Nursery is by Appointment Only. We have appointment availability 7 days a week from 7am till sundown. We urge people to call at least a day in advance to make a reservation. Reservations can be made months in advance as well.

Our Products

Bullseye Bonsai is proud to offer over 800 Bonsai and pre-Bonsai stock trees, as well 4,000+ Bonsai pots and over 200 accent plants. We also carry a growing selection of mossy rocks. In the future we would like to have wooden Bonsai stands and handmade clay pots available. We are currently in the process of negotiations with a local pottery artist, as well as a local wood artisan, in an effort to have these items available for our customers. We are hoping to have both these additional items as well as a selection of Bonsai tools in our permanent inventory shortly. Our Bonsai and pre-Bonsai range in size from Mame to two-hand trees, with some a bit bigger. Our selection of pots has an even greater range in sizes, starting at thumb pot size and ending with two hand pots. We have accent plants in all our pot sizes and pride ourselves with the variety of accent plants that we carry.

Other Services Provided

Besides offering quality Bonsai, Bonsai pots, accent plants, and Pre-Bonsai stock trees, we also offer aesthetic pruning services, large and small group Bonsai workshops, private instruction, Bonsai care and maintenance services, lecturing (both on bonsai as an art and its history), organizing collecting trips, as well as landscaping and design consultation.

Our Range of Prices

Bullseye Bonsai has a wide range of prices. Our Bonsai and pre-Bonsai stock trees range from as low as $10 up to $2,000 plus. Our accent plants range between $8 and $20. The Bonsai pots generally range from $5 to $100 with a few pots being higher than that. The price of our aesthetic pruning and landscaping design services depend on the specifics of the project or tree. The price, per person, of our workshop depends on the tree material cost and number of participants. Private instruction depends of the topic of instruction, however, it averages around $20 per hour of instruction. The price of our Bonsai care and maintenance services depends on the size, duration of care, and health of the tree. The price of lecturing is negotiated (if done alongside a workshop the cost is waived). The price of collecting trips are based on the area and number of trees harvested.

How to Make Purchases from the Nursery

Purchases can be made using cash, credit card (we accept all major cards), or PayPal. We do not accept checks. Purchases can be made at the nursery, online through the nursery’s Facebook page, at vending opportunities (announced on the Facebook page), or on several Bonsai auction and sales pages.

Bullseye Bonsai and Our World

Bullseye Bonsai strives to do our part to help support the environment. Although we are not a certified organic company, we do use organic principles and practices. Instead of relying on chemical control methods we have implemented earth-friendly methods of pest control. The introduction of beneficial insects, careful observation, and other methods keep the nursery free of unwanted plants, insects and infections. We also use compostable cornstarch-based packing peanuts and recycled packing supplies in our outgoing shipments. We have mechanisms in place in order to responsibly manage our water usage. We compost all of our compostable material and use the resulting product to either grow herbs and vegetables (which aids in keeping the harmful insect population down due to the complementary plant system and the attraction of beneficial insects) or as a component in our soil mixture, that we use in the pre-Bonsai stock soil. We also believe in protecting our national forests. This is why we only collect on privately owned properties and why we do not allow over-harvesting on those properties.

Donald’s Experience and Training

Donald Hoisington, proprietor of Bullseye Bonsai, had a strong interest in Bonsai from a very young age. At age fifteen he began to actively study the art. He joined the Fresno Bonsai Society and started collecting his first Bonsai trees. Donald learned the basics of Bonsai through lessons taught by the club’s most experienced members, as well as through private instruction and advice. Afterward, he expanded his knowledge through self-study. During this time he read literature and experimented on his own trees, beginning the process of perfecting his own methods and style. His introduction into the business aspect of Bonsai began by the suggestion of an acquaintance who worked as a retail manager at a farm and garden supply store in Petaluma, California. He sold finished Bonsai at the store for a number of years before he decided to open his own nursery in his hometown, Clovis, California. In addition to his nursery, Donald is also currently serving as a member of the Board of Directors of the Shinzen Japanese Garden located in Fresno, California.

Our Customers

We enjoy working with both beginners in the Bonsai community, as well as its most experienced members. Our nursery reflects this. We make sure to have low cost, easy to maintain Bonsai for beginners, while also having trees well suited for anyone at a more advanced level. One of our nurseries core principles is educating children about the art of Bonsai. Because of this, we have a selection of Bonsai that are very low cost, and exceptionally low maintenance available for kids. For those who are more experienced Bonsai artists we also have quite a selection of well-aged and more established Bonsai and pre-Bonsai.

Delivery Methods and Time

When shipping trees, accent plant, pots or any other damageable items, it is the policy of the nursery to ship them using the USPS’s priority flat rate 3-day shipping. We do this to insure that all living items will arrive quickly and as safely as possible. We take care to package all our items in the safest way possible using the standards and practices established in the Bonsai community by and large.
