Neither of those sites will help much if you want to buy a tree (Concepts sells tools etc, the other's a forum, with one link in Montreal), but there are ~ 3 in BC that you may want to look at - problem is I can't find my link, but if you google 'Bonsai in Canada" you'll get hits - some of which are no longer much good, but at least a couple are.

yes you might find 1 or 2 on the west coast (like Japan Bonsai) who sell overpriced little trees, but unfortunately you won't find a selection of good trees in any retail nurseries that I know of... there just isnt the market in canada to support retail nurseries... I would start looking into collecting... man you are in BC? If you put your mind to it you can work the rockies and start making the likes of Walter Pall jealous

yes i go to japan bonsai all the time. i get deals there a lot but i spend wisely because a lot is overpriced. out here it is really the only bonsai nursery. i have done some collecting i have 6 large collected trees, all spruces, didnt want to get pines because of the pine beetle down here...

Collecting is a good idea out here, and alot of my best collected material is from B.C. I don't collect pines, but I have seen the terrible damage it's done. Miles on miles of brown trees and dead potential bonsai too. Anyway, here are some resources that do not sell online but in case you don't already know of them they might be of some help to you.
