The Bonsai Jade came in beautiful condition (exactly like the image)! Shipping was not only faster than expected (3 days) it was also packaged very well. There was no damage & it was very well watered. It also came w/a great little care instructions pamphlet. Finally, the price was almost half as much as I've seen in retail stores. Very satisfied!!

I bought it thinking we would kill it. Nope it has been a couple months and it has not even lost a leaf. It is nice and in a nice pot. Really easy to care for.

Update 1-25-08 and this little plant is still strong.. I find drenching it in the sink and letting the water drain out works the best...

This is now the longest I have kept a plant alive (including a few cactus) Ooops!

I would never have dreamed that the plant would arrive in such pristine condtion! I had this Jade Tree delivered to work so that it would be a surprise for my husband's birthday. It raises a lot of curiosity when "Live Plant" is printed on a sealed box...especially when I was out of the office on the day it arrived. NO one could believe how bright green and beautifully formed the plant was. The fact that it had spent a few days in a sealed box was doubly mystifying! This birthday present was paraded up an down the halls of our office building before it ever made it home to my husband. Everyone was amazed. Thank you for a great birthday surprise. I hope we can take as good care of this gem as you did getting it to me.

What a wonderful mother's day present! This tree arrived in excellent condition. It looks just like the picture. The tree was very well packaged, and the soil was still damp from the last watering. The instruction pamphlet that came with the tree was not especially thorough, giving only the bare necessities, so I ended getting several books and videos from the library to teach me all the extra details and essentials. I recommend buying at least one book of instructions, and I have found that the "Complete Guide to Bonsai" by Harry Tomlinson is the best out there. The plant is doing wonderfully though, thriving in my window, and it even has new growth on it! I smile every time I look at it. For someone who was afraid she would kill the plant like I have done with several others, this one is doing great! I am so encouraged I want to go out and get several more bonsai, and may even grow my own! Great tree for a beginner. Good luck!

Update: Four months later and the tree is flourishing! There has been so much new growth that I have started my own jade forest from the pruned leaves! I even gave a cutting to my friend and she is having great success as well. This has been the most wonderful little tree, and has gotten me so interested in bonsai that I now have several other kinds of trees as well. As long as you keep it watered and occasionally fertilize the tree, you will have a happy, healthy, beautiful little plant on your hands! I still definitely recommend this tree, especially to beginners. Happy planting!

I bought this bonsai tree to decorate my dorm room at college and I honestly wasn't expecting much considering it would be shipped in a box. It came to my dorm in 2 days which was unexpected and packed very carefully. Its really a great decoration for the room and really adapts well to the environment.

Brussel's Bonsai is the BEST!!! They ship when they say they will ship, their products are always top notch, and their customer service after the sale is fantastic.

The tree came well packaged and is healthy so far. The water pot is nice to have but there's no mention that there are root holes in the bottom for water to leak out. A water tray is still required and should be mentioned to keep novices like myself from little accidents like I had all over my desk.

plant arrived very much on time. packaged very well. no damage. and it stil looks great almost a month later. lots of new growth. looks exactly like the picture, maybe even a little better.

UPDATE>>>>2 years later. I have managed to throw everything possible at this poor little plant in an inadvertent attempt to kill it. It dropped ALL of the leaves about a year ago (due to under or over watering) but has bounced back nicely. Still hanging in there even if it isn't quite as nice as it was.

UPDATE 1/3/11>>>> this thing is still alive and kickin. it never fully recovered from the earlier abuse, but oh well.

I gave this as a gift for Mother's Day and even though I never got a chance to see it, I hear it went over very well. I purchased it on Thursday expecting it to arrive at my mother's office the week after MD, but it arrived the next day on Friday! Excellent packaging, price, presentation, delivery - I highly recommend this item!

I started noticing little bugs flying thru my home almost immediately after receiving this tree but didn't make the connection right away. After the window near the tree started crawling with bugs, I was forced to throw this tree out. Now that I no longer have the tree in the house, there are hundreds of dead bugs to deal with! One of the worst purchases ever.
