Here are some Tree seedlings on Amazon - There are lots of different types.

And here is a company that specializes in Bonsai:

International Bonsai sells seedlings on a seasonal basis. They offer a wide variety of wonderful seedlings some as bare root seedlings and some as potted pre-bonsai. But their sales are seasonal which makes sense. They also have a nice pdf catalog you can check out. If you are looking to start with some of the more exotic types of trees like Dwarf firethorn, Trident Maple, Hornbeams or Japanese Snowbell this is the company that has them.
