Ordered as a Christmas gift for someone else. It arrived packaged well. The pot was wrapped so no soil would fall out, and the box was filled with packing peanuts to stabilize the tree.
It was cold here, so the tree was refrigerator cold when it arrived. That was NOT the fault of the provider. It was just winter. Some bonsai places will not ship to cold states in winter, and that is understandable.
This Golden Gate Ficus rebounded after losing probably more than 50 percent of its leaves within days. New growth was already starting when it arrived. Within three weeks its growth really took off. It was only days until Christmas when it arrived, and I was not sure it would survive. So, I did not give it as a gift as originally planned.
The tree is exposed to a full-spectrum plant light about 12 hours or more per day and a small fluorescent light 24 hours per day. I bought an LED grow lamp to give with it as a gift. The tree is watered every two days or when the top of the soil begins to look a bit dry. It is almost ready for some plant fertilizer now too.
I already started wiring some branches into the shape I want. Though it was supposed to be a gift for someone else, I'm keeping it for me! The price was a great deal on an easy to grow bonsai tree. With a grow light and a Golden Gate Ficus, you can have an indoor bonsai tree in cold climates. Don't keep it near a cold window at night. These trees do better where it is at least room temperature.
The pot it came in is nice too, and the tree was wired properly into the pot. I am going to add a humidity tray with stones as the indoor humidity here in winter is only about 26%. Oh, and the tree arrived with a tiny patch of moss at the base of the trunk. If I keep it moist and get light to it, it will spread to make a nice landscape look to the plant.
I would order again from this company. I am thinking about trying my hand at a juniper when it gets a little warmer for shipping. Note that when this tree arrived, I thought it was going to die. However, it is thriving. Do as the instructions say and give it a couple weeks of care after it arrives. It is amazing how fast a ficus bounces back from shipping stress.

Dawn Redwood is much smaller than anticipated, Golden Gate Ficus, Hawaiian umbrella, azalea
Golden gate ficus Tree is 17 inches tall from the top of the pot to the top leaf, when it was supposed to be 8-10 inches tall. I’m a little unhappy about that because it doesn’t fit on the plant shelf I had intended to put it on. Very minimal side branches, most foliage is on the top. Not the prettiest bonsai but I can work with it, however I don’t think I can manage to take the size down at all without hardly any side branches Hawaiian umbrella tree Beautiful tree!! Came with 3 potted in the 8 inch container. Came 10.5 inches tall in a textured black pot. One photo shows it next to an 8 inch azalea plant in a 6 inch pot. The instructions warn it can lose 20% of it’s leaves after shipping and I think it might lose just a few but it looks so healthy I’m not worried about it losing too many. I absolutely love this plant, I showed my mother and she immediately purchased one for herself. Would definitely buy again. It’d also make a perfect gift Azalea- ordered a size small and love it! It arrived in perfect condition. It was the first bonsai I ordered online and helped me trust buying online again! It didn’t bloom this year but hopefully next year it will. Dawn Redwood- was supposed to come in a 12 inch container and came in a 9 inch container, it was also supposed to be 16-20 inches tall and is only 14” above the container. For an extra large tree I was very disappointed with the size. I even had to re order a humidity tray for it because the one I got for a 12 inch bonsai pot looks ridiculous next to a 9 inch pot. It appears the redwood was cut to the exact height of the box for shipping which is disappointing because it would have been beautiful with the top still attached. For the money I paid I expected and had hoped for better. It also wasn’t wired down to the pot so I needed to put a stake with the tree to straighten it out. The tree will do great from here on out I just hoped for more for the price I spent
