Chris Jersan has been practicing bonsai for 23 years. He offers study groups, 1-on-1 teaching, and wiring and styling of your trees. He also offers starter material, finished trees, and Japanese bonsai pots.

A significant portion of Chris’s extensive bonsai collection includes native, and especially Missouri-native, collected trees. You can see Chris’s work on Instagram at @arcadiavalleybonsai and @u_hills_bonsai
