I can only say that I am really impressed by the tree, my delivered Bonsai sees the photo Bonsai really very similar.
Had already upon delivery a beautiful color, only the top of the tree was easy (really only very slightly) compressed by the box, but it was not really a problem.
For Packaging: The Bonsai came in an oblong box and was transported apparently lying. Nevertheless, the associated ground-bowl gabs no problems, the tree was well padded, also again packed separately. Real everything without problems, despite the lying transport of the whole tree was still firm in his shell. The tree was also poured seemingly before shipment, he came to me in any case in good condition, the ground was not dry or something. Shipping was quick and without any problems, super.
After a few days now springing up even the first new shoots, really beautiful to behold.
The tree is generally quite "tired grown" (especially on the tree top ...), the you could probably prune even large areas. But since I have read a larger cut would I want to be done until the spring so wait a few more weeks.
In addition, one is initially yes but still cautious, you want the new Bonsai not have to be completely shaved. :-)
Well, what can I say: A really beautiful tree, I'd order it again in a heartbeat without hesitation.
I've also ordered a fertilizer, an appropriate "ball shower" then later also yet. Believe that makes sense, when pouring into the cup but you have to be very careful that nothing overflows. I've now bought a small bonsai beginners book, can not hurt something fundamental about maintenance, cutting, etc. to learn.
I hope in any case that I know the bonsai long does a pleasure and can invite potential buyers only. A purchase over the Internet, and in particular of traders exotenherz.de is possible without hesitation, I'm here to get a really great bonsai.
Addendum: After almost half a year my bonsai looks real even from healthy and beautiful. Shines in deep green, growing diligently for (new shoots every few days / weeks slightly recut).
I'm not a bonsai expert, but the care I find absolutely no problems.
Therefore again: Absolute recommendation. :-)
