Teenie Genie is actually Eugenia species, one that even as a bonsai guy for 25 years I find difficult to keep alive. Care for bonsai trees is generally difficult enough with daily watering and continual pruning, but one that crisps at the first missed watering is one I call problematic. For anyone willing to follow the watering requirements, this may be a fine tree. I just wish it came with a stronger warning against neglect. While I usually find Brussel's to be a fine company to buy from, the pruning of my tree was considerably less refined than what was pictured. I would recommend Kingsville Boxwood over this Eugenia both for it's fine leaves and sturdier constitution, but it will likely be from a different source within Amazon.

Very disappointed. The tree arrived in great condition, I thought it was lovely, bright leaves, lovely shape, very nice. Read the instructions, followed them but within a week the leaves turned brown and it started to die. I let my friend who happens to be an arborist look at it and he couldn't figure out what could have happened to make it dry up and start to die, especially that fast. Anyway, I have not given up and actually a few leaves have started to come back. Still hope it will, it really was a lovely tree. If I could recommend on looks alone, it would have gotten 5 stars. Someone else may have better luck.
