Brussel's Live Green Mound Juniper Outdoor Bonsai Tree - 3 Years Old; 4" to 6" Tall with Decorative Container - Not Sold in California

As a bonsai hobbyist, my wife gave me a gift card to add to our collection. I went on Amazon and ordered this Juniper for 30,00 and was blown away on how beautiful and healthy the tree was compete with a great ceramic pot for the price. The bonsai soil was sprinkled with a slow release fertilzer and was of high quality. The plant was secured safely in the box nestle in a styrofoam square which protected the pot and plant. In the photo, you will see I added a black tray (from take out food :) with black pebbles from the Dollar store. You need to keep the bonsai watered and misted with either rain or spring water. They also need to go through a dormant period in the winter, but not below 20 degrees. Also watch a ton of videos on their care and you will do fine.

Beautiful plant, well-packaged, in time for Christmas, very well-shaped. My Bonsai-lover will adore it…and I like it so much, I may need to order another for myself!

Excellent quality and so beautiful@

Beautiful little Bonsai Tree! Very well packaged for safe delivery.

Plant died after a few weeks.

Well it could have been worse. The bonsai was in a healthy condition when it arrived(using standard 4-6 day shipping). However; it was all misshapen and contorted into a very un-bonsai state. The needle foliage was thin(Charlie Brown Christmas tree thin), but very green and vibrant. I know not every juniper bonsai will be the same, but this case is a little shameful to say the least. And at least put a "This side up" sticker on the box respectful to the bonsai's orientation, for Pete's sake. If it's too much for you guys, I'll do it pro-bono. It's already bad enough the plant is subdued to stress in a dark, stuffy, box. You lose stars for that because now I have to train this juniper back to it's natural state--I could be wire training the older parts by now. How about getting familiar with a ruler before going on about 9" tall juniper in the description. This poor thing doesn't even reach 5" at best. The pot and the tree combined just make 7" I really hate to be mean, but this dishonors the respected Brussel's Bonsai name. I only bought this because of the Brussel's name-like most people. What I got can't be 3 years old either. Way too thin- almost a 1/3 of an inch. Thanks for the $20(shipping included) sapling+glazed pot and soil. I could have bought a juniper sapling for a few pennies on the dollar instead of one of these over-priced price pieces of feng shui. All my displeasure set aside- it arrived in good condition and quality(for a sapling). I was hoping for a natural, unpainted pot, but blue is nice. It arrived at a good time. And I'm looking forward to watching it grow over the years to come. One more thing please be honest in the description, thank you.

Came in good

It was cool but my wife killed it.
