 Bonsai is very nice. The care they gave it - impressive also. December 17, 2008

First off, the bonsai looks pretty darn close to the photo - and when you consider they "train" more than one that's a welcome outcome. But considering I ordered through an Amazon partner I wasn't concerned. I've always been satisfied - even if minor adjustments are needed.
BonsaiBoy packaging was awesome! I was curious how it would arrive - particularly since it's a living thing and this is late December.
The bonsai is carefully wrapped at the base (pot) so the soil does not move at all. But it unwraps quickly - use a circular motion in the opposite direction of the packing. You'll see.
Packing peanuts surround the bonsai so the box can take the expected transit handling. Lifting the bonsai out of the box the peanuts fall away and the tree is unharmed. Easy.
A surprise was the chemical heat pack also included. I ordered for Christmas and live on the west coast so it had to travel quite a ways during very cold weather. Very impressed they took the time to add that little extra insurance. The pack didn't last the entire trip of course but it did ease the transition from where it was raised to the travel conditions via UPS.
Those of you that have them know bonsai are sensitive so, now that it has arrived, it's over to me to help it recover from the stress of the trip. Well, again to my surprise, the care sheet provided includes instructions for cold weather transition. This is not the little tag you get on some bonsai. This is a two-page well written sheet - broken down by categories. Again, impressive.
Particularly given the Amazon price and the BonsaiBoy workmanship this is definitely a worthwhile purchase.

I bought this as a christmas gift for my brother who is a plant lover. I received it a couple of weeks before christmas and it was very nicely packaged and received undamaged. I was very concerned with keeping it in my house because I tend to kill plants and can't even keep bamboo alive! But surprisingly it made it until christmas with a little bit of water and next to one of only a few windows in my house. So once my brother got it, he also expressed his concern because he said he has never been able to keep one alive either! But I got to check on the tree recently (over 3 months after x-mas) and it is alive and well. This certainly is a hearty tree!

Arrived quickly and safely. Looks just as pictured and is healthy and growing strong. Recommend that you purchase the plastic tray as there is not much room in the planter so water and dirt spills off when you water. Plastic tray does well to contain the spill over.
