Mike Rogers started
doing Bonsai in 1968, at the age of 18. After a couple of
years in the Marine Corps, he resumed the hobby and by the
late 1970's was teaching Bonsai and selling trees, on a
limited scale.
Originally from Fort
Lauderdale, he has extensive experience with tropical trees,
and pioneered the growing of Azaleas in South Florida.
In 1991, he moved his
family and nursery to North Central Florida, so he would be
able to grow Japanese Maples, and Trident Maples.

belongs to two local Bonsai Clubs, as well being on the Bonsai

He grows a wide
variety of trees, from tropical trees to deciduous and pines.
He is constantly striving to have the highest quality bonsai,
pre-bonsai stock, supplies and tools.
