Does anyone have a source for quality akadama in Canada? Even a boons mix? My last supplier, Superfly Bonsai no longer ships to Canada… On a second note, if one had a contact in Japan who could ship akadama, which brands would be most desirable? ---

I believe Tak at BC Bonsai Floral in Surrey was expecting a shipment of Akadama later in September. Talk to Hironi at (604) 733-5862 or email at info@bonsaitree.ca ---

When I read the leader for this thread, I got excited…thought you were pushing a new bonsai soil from Canada… CANADAMA…😫🙄😂 . Are there any volcano cones IN Canada to look into? ---

@Yugen Unfortunately I don’t know of suppliers in Western Canada. The Bonsaiguru.ca and ACbonsai.ca are the two suppliers I use mostly here in Ontario. Does Gerald Rainville at Shikoku Bonsai in Vancouver know of any? ---
