Amazing that you can orders these online, but it died within 3 weeks. I took care of it just like they said to. It makes a nice dead Bonzi, but that's not really what I had in mind.

This tree was absolutely nothing as pictured. It has horrible qualities for bonsai, even as a place to start. The best part of my money spent was the unglazed pot I received. The tree was honestly healthy, albeit with a poor root system(very obviously grown from a cutting/air layer). It is just a horribly ugly thing with attempts of wiring that would have been best left off. It is about a foot and a half tall with a trunk diameter less than an inch. I could lop off the top half to start over, but the curve in the trunk is so dramatic there is nothing to do with it afterwards. I am attempting to make something out of it by rooting the branches and making an air layer out of the top half, which might have potential many years from now.

Bottom line, don't buy from here, unless you want to pay $40 for a small pot and fire wood. You're better off going to your local department store and buying a juniper with a blind fold on.

This would have 1 star but, as I said, the tree was technically in decent shape, as well as the pot. Not reccomended what-so-ever though.

When the tree - a gift - arrived, I was thrilled. It is absolutely gorgeous. However, I soon realized that it is a tree that MUST be kept outdoors. The main description on Amazon did NOT say this - I had to read the detailed description. Because there are dozens of bonzais to look at on Amazon, I must have skipped over this. Now, I have a gift for someone who would LOVE to have a bonzai, but who lives in an apartment so cannot keep it outdoors. I'm incredibly disappointed. The problem is not with the quality of the tree, which is wonderful. The problem is with Amazon's description, which has left me in the lurch just a few days before I had to give it as a gift.
