Unlike carbon steel which requires regular oiling to prevent rust, these bonsai tools feature high quality stainless steel for rust proof durability. The stainless steel construction makes it easy to use daily with little wear or maintenance. Use a bonsai pick to loosen and remove soil from your bonsai tree during repotting, and to gently separate the root structure from within the root ball. The single hook makes it easier to pinpoint the exact location in the root structure to avoid damaging the tree. Wide handle for a more comfortable fit in the palm of the hand. Pick is also handy for removing air pockets in soil during repotting. Measures approximately 6.5 in. (160mm) in length. Made in China.

Our Eastern Leaf tools were designed with the novice and intermediate enthusiast in mind. After working on bonsai for over 15 years, Jason found that Stainless Steel tools were the easiest to work with around the nursery due to their durability and rust resistance. After researching for years, Jason was able to find a balance of quality and affordability to make it easier for everyone to practice bonsai. The entire line of tools includes the ones used most often when styling and maintaining trees in the nursery. Each tool is branded with "Eastern Leaf" in Chinese characters on the handle of each tool so you know that the tool has met the standards that will help you continue forward on your bonsai journey.
