Notes

Finn flags: no street address, hours or shipping policy is printed on the pages checked. Ask by phone or the contact form about shipping or pickup before ordering. The shop also sells non-bonsai “artifacts” (antlers, a bear skull, a soapstone axe, vintage items) alongside the trees, so browse the Bonsai Trees category rather than All Products. The home page says inventory is “one-of-a-kind and constantly updating,” so the trees and prices above will change.
Geography: Decorah is in northeast Iowa. The Iowa Bonsai Association (already on Bonsai Plaza under Clubs) is a separate statewide club.
