Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With small, round leaves and large, pink flowers blooming from May to June, this broadleaf flowering bonsai is packed with stems for a gorgeous late spring show. Though the Satsuki Azalea has just one flower per stem, the shrub has so many stems that during the flowering season they are a solid mass of color. Grown in Japan for centuries, the Satsuki Azalea's graceful trunk movement adds distinct shape to the patio, deck or garden. This particular bonsai is 5 years old and stands 8 inches tall. Although evergreens can be displayed indoors for short periods of time, they need to experience seasonal changes and should be kept outside year round.

Brussels grows specimens only under carefully controlled conditions, meticulously training each tree with wire and pruning over a period of years. If upon the tree's arrival some leaves have dropped or turned slightly brown that does not mean the bonsai is unhealthy. Defoliation is the natural result of being in the low-light environment of a shipping box. When you receive your tree, place the box in a shaded area to unpack. Inspect tree for damage to branches or leaves. Water soil if dry, and place the tree in shade for at least one week before moving to a sunny location.

What is a Bonsai?
Literally, the Japanese word "bonsai" means "tray tree" or "plant grown in a pot." The term refers to the artistic techniques used to capture the natural beauty of trees, rather than a specific variety of tree. A full-grown tree and a bonsai can be grown from the same seed--the bonsai has simply been dwarfed and shaped through years of training.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding! Bought 2 as gifts, now I've got to get some for me!, December 17, 2005

This review is from: Brussel's DT3066AZ Satsuki Azalea Outdoor Bonsai Tree (Lawn & Patio)

I've traveled into NYC to the flower district, and shopped in Bonzai shops, and picked up pretty good Bonzai over the years. NONE have compared to the quality and beauty of the bonzai from this source.

The people I gave these to as gifts were blown away.

Not only were they good strong specimens, they were beautifully shaped and pruned. These are not just small cuttings stuck in the ground and allowed to grow until mature enough to ship. They are crafted for beauty.

Buy them here, and you will be truly pleased.

I had seen a 750 year old Satsuki bonsai at a large bonsai shop that I visit once a year. (Several years ago). I fell madly in love with this bonsai, but could not afford the $1,000 plus price tag. I had been looking for this bonsai forever, craft fairs, bonsai shops, flower shops, you name it. One day, I was just looking for different things, surfing through Amazon.com and there it was. The bonsai that I waited for, longed for and wanted so badly! The best thing is that I got it just before I went in for surgery. I knew that it was waiting for me at home, to come home and take care of it so that it will flower for me, year after year. In fact, it came with buds on it and flowered the day before I went into the hospital! What a wonderful gift to give yourself!!!

I have received this Satsuki Azalea as a gift. The person who gave it to me was very excited ... until the box was opened. Wat we have found in the box was just a small bush, not cut, not trained at all, nothing that was even close to the picture. And I do not mean flowers. Well, I thought that it was my job to train it, which I will do. By no means however it was the intent of the gift giver.
