Our History

When I was 5 years old, I can remember being instantly captivated by several bonsai my father brought back from a California business trip. As a teenager, I began to seriously study the art of bonsai. What started out as an artistic endeavor in my parent's backyard quickly grew into a business. In the 1970s, I began selling bonsai through the mail and travelling to shows across the country. By the early 1980s, I was making annual buying trips to Asia.

As our business has grown, so has my desire to introduce bonsai to more and more Americans. We now offer a full range of bonsai trees starting with modestly priced bonsai for the beginner, on up to unique specimens styled by Bonsai Masters. Regardless of your selection, rest assured that every bonsai from our nursery has been meticulously developed and will arrive in perfect condition. Every tree includes specific growing instructions so your success is guaranteed.

Brussel's Bonsai nursery is the largest importer and grower of quality bonsai in America. We are located on a country road in northern Mississippi, just 20 minutes south of Memphis, Tennessee.

Blessed with abundant sunshine, a long growing season, room for expansion, and a dedicated staff we have grown steadily over the past 30 years. There are now thousands of customers across the U.S. who know, based on first hand experience, that Brussel's Bonsai nursery is the best choice for exciting new bonsai.

Our bonsai nursery greenhouses are filled with carefully chosen trees, each hand selected by our founder, Brussel Martin, during one of his many Asian buying trips. This, along with our rigorous care standards and complete horticultural knowledge, guarantees superior quality.
