Sunshine Miniature Trees

If you are looking for a special look for your home go see the plants at Sunshine Miniature Trees. WOW!!! This plant store is the best. Located on Greenville Ave near Park Lane up on a hill in a little house. Sunshine has been in business for more than 40 years and you will see why when you stop in. Best Bonsai selection in the Metroplex.

This was an awesome gem of a place to find. They have several rooms of very well kept and interesting trees and other plants. Stepping inside of the old farmhouse in the center of city like Dallas is like stepping into a pristine jungle of green in another time and place.
The staff were very helpful with care instructions and growing instructions of all of their plants and tress. They have all of the fertilizer and other items needed to grow, care for and maintain anything in their stores.
A must visit place, even if you are only browsing. Look for the Taco Bell on the street or you will easily miss the yellow farmhouse set back amongst many other city businesses.

Cool store with many unique plants and nice bonsai trees.
You can definitely get your Mr. Miyagi on in this place.

Careful about this place! They have a great selection but they will gouge you with small charges. The pot for the bonsai I bought had a small hole for water at the bottom. No problem, I have small dishes at home I can put on the bottom. But they just tossed one into my purchase. Then when they wrote up the receipt and charged my card they charged me $ 3.50 for the cheapo little plate that I didn’t even need! Then when I said I didn’t want it they said they didn’t know how to credit me back the money. Total BS. In conclusion they have a great selection, just make sure you don’t let them sneak stuff on you!

I like coming here even if its just to browse… The environment is super chill and i always leave here more relaxed than when i arrived… There is something about being surrounded by all of these tiny trees that just seems to lower my blood pressure and make me feel at peace… I have bought several plants as gifts and they were a big hit… Just remember to google whatever plant you are going to buy if you have pets… Some can be harmful and even kill your animals…

What a cool and knowledgeable place! My husband had been wanting a bonsai for some time now, so I researched palces to go in Dallas. To my surprise there were only two nurseries with Bonsai trees. This one is open 7 days a week which made it super convenient. Eric was able to help us with what we were looking for and guide us through what we would need over the coarse of the year.
I do wish the places was a little bit better structure as I could have tripped in sooo many places, but I loved the staff and we were able to pick the perfect tree at a very reasonable price.

This place has such an amazing selection of trees! Extremely helpful and friendly staff. They were so polite and happily answered all our questions about bonsai tree care. If your looking for a mini tree in Dallas this is the spot to check out! The prices were also very very reasonable.

Definitely a big fan of this bonsai nursery! I came here looking for advice on how to properly repot my Golden Gate Ficus and I got that and so much more.
As soon as I walked on the premises, the man who I believed to be the manager made sure I had someone attend to my needs. The employee who helped me was full of knowledge and let me watch him repot so I could learn and thus do it myself later.
The selection of materials, trees, fertilizers, and other aesthetics for your bonsai are plentiful and they known their product very well! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here.
They repotted in a new and bigger pot, and I bought some Superthrive (juice that will help the tree grow quicker) all for about $ 50, which I thought was a very reasonable price. I appreciate these guys very much and will be eager to return to get a new tree from them in the future.

This is a top knotch business. I received great service and great direction on how to care for my bonsai. Thank you.

I want to be really good at gardening. I fancy myself a 60-​something year old grandma in a cute 20 year old’s body, great at baking and cross-​stitching and growing all kinds of cool shit. Well, I buy my cookie dough in the refrigerated section, my stitches are way uneven, and where established gardeners have brilliant, verdant thumbs, mine as more of a pukey shade of brown-​green.
That said, I bought four different kinds of succulents and cacti a few months back. I loved them, painted cute pots for them, named them… and promptly killed them. As a replacement, my sweet boyfriend got me the cutest little bonsai in the world for our anniversary… which shriveled up after less than 60 days. Bonsai are not easy, y’all.
Not wanting my guy to know I murdered his thoughtful present, I trekked back to Sunshine in hopes that my tree could be saved. I was greeted immediately by an employee who poked, prodded, scraped, and analyzed my tree before pronouncing it Dead on Arrival. RIP, Fukien Tea.
When I said I wanted to replace the lil guy, I was swept along in a whirlwind of action. The guy took me to find another (healthy) tree and asked tons of questions about how I’d been caring for mine. Turns out I was doing basically everything wrong– watering too shallowly, too infrequently, and putting it in a window that wasn’t sunny enough before moving it to a place that basically singed off the leaves. Oopsies! I was invited to a complimentary bonsai class at the greenhouse and given plenty of care instructions as the guy moved my new bonsai into my old pot, added some cute gravel, fertilized, and sprayed pesticide. He really knew his stuff.
No one tried to upsell, surcharge, or talk down to me– just tons of options, tons of great advice, and great looking plants. Best of all, I got a do-​over! Green thumb, here I come!

Warning! I’ve purchased two different types of plants from this location and both have been infested with bugs. I’ve purchased many other plants from different locations and they have been fine and still living. My first was a juniper bonsai that was infested when purchased and we had to return for another which we were bummed because it takes time finding the perfect bonsai to your liking. Luckily they replaced the bonsai we had purchased but also died of bug infestation. Second plant was a ficus given as a home warming gift and we just had to throw it out as well due to bug infestation. So upset because this place isn’t cheap.

Great selection of bonsai trees. The staff was patient and let us pick different pots.

This is the cutest place you’ll ever go to. Great selection of all kinds of plants and and lots of choices. Everyone was very knowledgeable and polite. We will return.

Good selection, but the owner doesn’t understand customer service or a positive customer experience and has been downright rude on occasion despite making many purchases here. Called today and he hung up on me. Despite several purchases here in the past, I’m going to find a new vendor that’s more helpful and actually values it’s customers.

I love this place! Even if you aren’t in the market for new plant, you can easily get lost in here for an hour. The staff is very friendly and the plants are very well cared for. i went in looking for some plants that could thrive in low light and with my brown thumb. I got a money tree and bamboo growing in water. My bamboo has lasted for over 2 years and my money tree is still going strong. Stop by and learn a thing or two from the pros!

I was impressed by this nursery and the helpful and attentive guys who helped me. And as Josh S. said, they helped and informed me but then left me to my perusing without any pressure to buy. And when it came time to check out with what I decided to purchase, the one bro really helped me out and was a pleasure to meet and speak with, so here’s a shout out to him. Anyways, a satisfied customer I am, and will be back.

Came there thinking about buying a juniper bonsai tree and walked away a happy and well informed customer. I was surprised to see such a large selection that was kept healthy and well trimmed.
The prices are comparable to what you would see online, only here you get the ability to spot the subtle nuances in each tree that can make or break the tree for you. The staff was ready to help, answered all of my questions clearly, and I never felt like I was being pressured to buy or lead to a more expensive selection. Highly recommended.

Sunshine Miniature Trees has a large variety of bonsai trees, bamboo, cactus, and other exotic plants and trees. The staff are extremely knowledge and give recommendations of plants that would best fit your needs (number of waterings and lighting). When purchasing, they provide a care sheet for each tree. The nursery is located in a converted old-​home and green-​house.
