Can anyone tell me where I can find akadama in small (1/8") size in Portland area, or to order online? Many thanks in advance. ---

You can get in touch with Portland Bonsai Supply [https://portlandbonsaisupply.com](https://portlandbonsaisupply.com) Steve doesn’t have a physical store but can meet up with you to save on shipping costs. He also brings his items to every Bonsai Society of Portland meeting. Next meeting is Feb 26th. [https://www.portlandbonsai.org/next-meeting/](https://www.portlandbonsai.org/next-meeting/) I’ve also had luck ordering from Bonsai Tonight, which is based out of the Bay Area in California so it doesn’t have to be shipped very far.

Thanks, Nicholas. I checked the portland bonsai supply website and it looks like he’s out of stock. I’ll give him a call to see when he’ll have more in. The place in CA appears to have in stock, but will wait to see if I can get locally first. Many thanks, Mike ---

If you feel like taking a drive up to Tukwila ,Washington. John Muth at Bonsai Northwest has bags of akadama for $28. I think he has small and medium grain sizes available. He also has bags of pumice, and both red and black lava. ---
