I had this tree sent to my daughter for her birthday, but it arrived in poor condition and only got worse. We fared no better with a second attempt...we were very disappointed, to say the least. But, Amazon was very cooperative about our return.

So far, this Crepe Myrtle has not shown one flower, nor the potential for any flowers, and, in fact it did not look good when I got it, about 30 days ago. I will provide an update if it starts looking healthier and beautiful like the picture. Product did arrive quickly. Also, the greenery is not near as full as the picture shown.

This item arrived looking half dead with no leaves or blooms. I followed the instructions but the bonsai never had a chance. This was a total waste of money and unfortunately I bought two different bonsai's as gifts and they both did not live. I would NEVER recommend purchasing this product.

On March 21, 2011, I purchased a Brussel's DT9049DCM Crepe Myrtle Bonsai tree through Amazon. The tree received in a dormant state (No leaves or signs of growth). In mid April 2010 I became concerned about the lack of growth (Only about six leaves) on the entire tree and all those leaves on a coupe branches only. I telephoned Brussel's to determine if tree was late to thrive or what. I received a return call from Brussel's Bonsia Master who stated that it was normal that their trees was just now starting to grow and to give it two to four weeks and call him back with the status. Upon request I e-mailed them six protographs of the tree. After a couple weeks all signs of life on the tree were gone. An additional six photographs were sent and with the exchange of several emails where they indicated they would replace the item. On May 17, 2001, I received an email indicating you purchase the item from Amazon so go through them for a replacement or you can buy a new one directly from them. Now I have never returned an item through Amazon, but to say I am very disappointed in this matter is an understatement. Is there any assistance Amazon can provide in this matter?????? Try and find a phone number to call Amazon. I sent an email through their system without any response. Buyer beware, if you want to be treated like a second class system buy from Brussel's through Amazon. After the purchase of eleven trees through Brussels and about seven of them through Brussel's has lost a CUSTOMEr. As well if I can't get any response through Amazon they have lost a CUSTOMER as well!!!!!!!!

Brussel's DT9049DCM Crepe Myrtle Bonsai I was totally disappointed with this product! Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews before I ordered it, which taught me a lesson. The picture showed beautiful, purple flowers...when mine arrived, it barely had any leaves, let alone flowers! Also, the instructions that came with the "plant" said it was for outdoors, & there was nothing about that in the description. Amazon was wonderful about giving me a refund, but I think they probably had a lot of practice giving refunds for this one! I also learned not to order plants through the mail. I would not recomend this product.

This is the second bonzai tree that I received and just like the 1st one, this one does not look like it's going to make it for very long. I thought maybe it was something I did or didn't do but regardless... No plant should be that difficult to maintain considering it started to look very dried out and droopy come day two. The soil was very hard & dry and packed way too tight into the pot that it made watering the plant nearly impossible.

Interesting plant , blooming nicely outside. I wonder what it will be indoors in the winter

The Brussel's dwarf crepe myrtle is doing beautifully. It arrived in great condition.

It doesn't look healthy when I got it, but I thought I should give it a chance. But now, all the leave are gone.I am not sure if it will show a sign of life or I just wasted my money.
The other two bonsai are doing well. Still wondering why this flowering plant which looks so beautiful in the picture, might become a disappointment- I hope not....

plant arrived in good shape. within 1 week all leaves fell off. Two days later new leaves are growing. Don't know if the bonsai is confused on what time of year it is or what?
