You may be surprised to find out that there are Bonsai in Bali and
although they may be difficult to find they are well worth the visit.
The first step is to find a "bemo" driver who understands exactly what you are looking for. Then trying to locate them is another problem as the streets are seldom named and I dont think they have heard of numbers, but this is part of the fun of it. Most of the nurseries are located in Sanur close to one of the main tourist areas.
Many of the trees are collected, and are quite large and impressive, and some of the nurseries quite large. If you are limited for time a must is Sanur Tropical Bonsai they have about 2000 Bonsai many of these are collected from rocky beach areas. Ceramic pots are rare as they are too expensive for the locals to buy. Some of the nurseries make there own pots from cement or buy them from a town called Kapal (this is the only town that has artisans that make them).
