About Gerald Rainville
Gerald Rainville was a legendary Canadian bonsai grower, best known for his stunning Kishu Shimpaku and Japanese Black Pines. Starting in the late 1980s, Gerald spent nearly four decades developing trees with patience and precision, often incorporating traditional Japanese methods.
His trees are instantly recognizable for their natural movement, aged trunks, and refined deadwood. He leaves behind a lasting legacy—and owning one of his trees is like holding a living piece of North American bonsai history.
We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
