Brussel's Bonsai - Small Juniper Live Bonsai Tree | Live Bonsai Tree, Juniper, Outdoor, 3-Year Old, Easy Care, Gift Ready

As a bonsai hobbyist, my wife gave me a gift card to add to our collection. I went on Amazon and ordered this Juniper for 30,00 and was blown away on how beautiful and healthy the tree was compete with a great ceramic pot for the price. The bonsai soil was sprinkled with a slow release fertilzer and was of high quality. The plant was secured safely in the box nestle in a styrofoam square which protected the pot and plant. In the photo, you will see I added a black tray (from take out food :) with black pebbles from the Dollar store. You need to keep the bonsai watered and misted with either rain or spring water. They also need to go through a dormant period in the winter, but not below 20 degrees. Also watch a ton of videos on their care and you will do fine.

I bought this item for my mother-in-law who enjoys gardening. She has a flower garden as well as a vegetable garden. I always have a hard time figuring out what to get her, so I decided to go with this. It's something that she can fiddle with, even during the winter months here in Minnesota. I can not attest to its long term health, but when I received it, it was green and looked healthy. The base was unbroken and was well packaged. Wrapped in a saran wrap to keep the soil moist and intact for transit. I'm 100% satisfied with this purchase and if I had use of it, I'd purchase again. I had no delusions on what size the tree would be when I got it from other reviews and I was just fine with that. The fact that it takes 3 to 4 years for the tree to reach this size is pretty amazing. The tree itself probably stood about 7 inches tall, not including the little bowl it came in. The bowl was a deep blue color ceramic material and just right for the little tree. I'm no gardener and have no green thumb so I know very little on these things. But, the tree looked good when I got it and she was very pleased with it.

Perfect gift

My tree died shortly after I got it. It may have gotten too hot during shipping. It seemed to be packaged well but the soil was very dry. I watered it immediately after unboxing it. The under side of the foliage felt like it was a little dry but it was still soft and green on the top side. I continued to water the tree, keeping the soil moist. The tree continue to dry up from the bottom up. It is now crunchy and dead. I have many other healthy plants and have a green thumb usually. After being very excited, I'm now very disappointed.

Well packed ! Great looking trees very happy!

Well it could have been worse. The bonsai was in a healthy condition when it arrived(using standard 4-6 day shipping). However; it was all misshapen and contorted into a very un-bonsai state. The needle foliage was thin(Charlie Brown Christmas tree thin), but very green and vibrant. I know not every juniper bonsai will be the same, but this case is a little shameful to say the least. And at least put a "This side up" sticker on the box respectful to the bonsai's orientation, for Pete's sake. If it's too much for you guys, I'll do it pro-bono. It's already bad enough the plant is subdued to stress in a dark, stuffy, box. You lose stars for that because now I have to train this juniper back to it's natural state--I could be wire training the older parts by now. How about getting familiar with a ruler before going on about 9" tall juniper in the description. This poor thing doesn't even reach 5" at best. The pot and the tree combined just make 7" I really hate to be mean, but this dishonors the respected Brussel's Bonsai name. I only bought this because of the Brussel's name-like most people. What I got can't be 3 years old either. Way too thin- almost a 1/3 of an inch. Thanks for the $20(shipping included) sapling+glazed pot and soil. I could have bought a juniper sapling for a few pennies on the dollar instead of one of these over-priced price pieces of feng shui. All my displeasure set aside- it arrived in good condition and quality(for a sapling). I was hoping for a natural, unpainted pot, but blue is nice. It arrived at a good time. And I'm looking forward to watching it grow over the years to come. One more thing please be honest in the description, thank you.

This bonsai tree is absolutely gorgeous! Arrived healthy and well-packaged. The shape and detail are amazing for such a small tree. Perfect size for my desk and really adds a peaceful vibe to my workspace. Seems hardy and easy to care for so far. Love having a piece of nature indoors. Great quality and exactly what I was hoping for!

This is the best Bonsai Nursery!
