Review of Brussel's Bonsai - Azalea Bonsai

We bought this for my mother-in-law who lives 9 hrs away from us and had it sent directly to her. Bad idea to trust AMAZON. She seemed as though she was happy about it but about two weeks later I asked her how she liked the flowers and she had no idea what i was talking about. Apparently, there were no flowers on this bush and she said that there is no way that it is going to have flowers this year if ever, if we were even sent the right thing i do not know cause they did not put any card or tag stating if the thing was even what it was suppose to be. Amazon did refund the money but that still doesnt make up for the horrible fact that she got a leaf tree for mothers day :( Its terrible that AMAZON doesnt even know what they are selling. DONT BUY THIS HERE UNLESS YOU WANT A LEAF TREE FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.

Review of Brussel's Trident Maple Forest 9 Outdoor Bonsai Tree

First off, my true gut feeling on the rating is a three.I am giving it a four because the I think the company is really good, the product was shipped fast and was packed really well.I am not super happy with the Trident Maple Forest but I am not totally disappointed either.I really didn't know what to expect since this item had not been reviewed before, I couldn't find too many photos, and I have never ordered anything that is alive on the internet.

My main disappointment is probably due to my own ignorance with bonsais.I have had a few various bonsais before and have sadly killed them all.I had seen the Trident Forest in a brochure before and really wanted it awhile ago.The idea of a "mini forest" sounded really neat.I also love maple trees so it really seemed perfect.When I received my bonsai today I was a little disappointed when I saw the trees.Basically they look like someone cut tree limbs off a maple tree and put them into a pot.Now, that may be how bonsai trees are made and I just don't know.I thought that maybe these were mini trees that were grown from a seed and pruned and trained to be small.But, as I said, I don't know much about bonsais.I am also disappointed in that I read when making a forest one should really try not to put the trees in any order or try to make them symmetrical.My forest is almost arranged in a perfect oval shape.Also, the largest "tree" is very loose and feels like it may pop out of the soil any moment.So, some of my trees look like a stick off a tree with maybe 10 small leaves on them and the top of the "tree" pruned diagonally.

Now, am I planning on returning the product?No, probably not unless it starts looking sick in the next two weeks or one of the trees falls out of the pot.I think it is a cute bonsai and am hoping I can take really good care of it and get it to grow some more leaves and fill out.To be honest, if I had seen this in a store for 100 dollars I would not have ever considered buying it.

So I am giving it a four because it was shipped fast and packed really well.It only lost about 10 leaves which I think is pretty good.Some of the leaves are wilted but I am assuming it is because of them being in the dark box for a few days.I also don't want to rate the tree too low because I really didn't know what to expect so I want to be fair to the product and company.I also love the leaves that is does have.

I took photos of it packed, me unpacking it, and the tree by itself.I am hoping to post these photos on amazon.I hope this helps you decide if you want one.Like I said, it is small and cute but definitely not like the photo posted on amazon.It is not thick with leaves or stems but this may be due to the season.Oh, and my tallest tree is 13 inches from the soil to the top of the stick.

Review of Brussel's Hawaiian Umbrella Indoor Bonsai Tree

I ordered a tree to before Christmas, after patiently waiting, was finally told on 1/30 that there would be a delay until late March. Given other options I would recommend looking elsewhere, this company does not seem to have the ability to fulfill orders.

Review of Brussel's Bonsai - Fence Bamboo

Very Misleading Bonsai: Looks nothing like pictured.I was very digusted.
what came looked nothing like the picture. Nothing I could EVER groom to look like to picture. Infact, It reminded me of the $3 local bamboo plants they sell down the block from my house.

I will post a video review

Review of Brussel's Japanese Maple Outdoor Bonsai Tree

Friends gave me one for my birthday in January and I've enjoyed it ever since. It is exquisite - beautifully pruned little red maple tree. Picture does not do the plant justice. It arrived beautifully packaged and it was evident great care was taken in shipping the item. Shipping was quick. Some basic instructions are included with the tree, but a good basic bonsai book would come in handy. I will happily order from Brussel's again.

Review of Brussel's Ginkgo Outdoor Bonsai Tree

and there were absolutely NO instructions included specifically for the Ginkgo Bonsai - most importantly when and how to prune, how large it will get, etc. None of these questions can be found in books either. Currently, it is 28" tall which I consider rather tall for a bonsai I've had for less than 1 month but I don't know what to expect.The pot is pretty.

Review of Brussel's Jade Indoor Bonsai Tree

The shipping was super quick and the tree was nice too. But the only complain i have that brussels should include an option to buy a humidity tray with the appropriate tree. The whole convenience of buying a tree on the web is lost if you have to go and look for a humidity tray afterwards.

Review of Brussel's Fringe Flower Outdoor Bonsai Tree

The tree is lovely and has many branches to train and many buds, and was a good price.The subject I want to complain about is how it was packed for shipping:The potting dish sat in a styrofoam base which held the tree up fairly well and then the box was stuffed with "peanuts".However, the dish was not secured to the box and neither was the tree!Knowing how the mail deliverers handle packages, I'm not surprised that five WHOLE branches had been broken off because the tree bounced against the sides and most likely the top of the box!!There MUST be a better way to ship live plants!Valerie Foyle

Review of Brussel's Gardenia Indoor Bonsai Tree

I got this gardenia bonsai in mid-February and it is not as I expected. Upon opening the package, the leaves are dull green, no buds, dried out and mostly dark brown. I followed the instruction and even did some research work through the internet. I even bought extra stuffs like plant food, cool mist humidifier just to revive the plant. Well now, after 3 weeks, 90% of the leaves are gone, branches bare, looks like those bare trees that you see during winter. I tried to contact the merchant and ask for advise, but I did not get any response. I have other bonsais and regular gardenias that are healthy and I really wanted this gardenia bonsai so bad.

Review of Brussel's Dawn Redwood Outdoor Bonsai Tree

The base of the tree was thicker than the one shown in the picture.The I received has a nice taper.A nice touch, there was a little bit of moss growing over the dirt.

The tree came packaged in a tall box with an inner Styrofoam base to protect the pot.The pot and base of the tree were wrapped tight in a thick plastic and the soil was damp upon arrival.The rest of the space inside the box was filled with a biodegradable type of foam peanuts (watch out, they get everywhere when you take the tree out).

Fantastic tree!

Review of Brussel's Dwarf Crepe Myrtle Outdoor Bonsai Tree

So far, this Crepe Myrtle has not shown one flower, nor the potential for any flowers, and, in fact it did not look good when I got it, about 30 days ago.I will provide an update if it starts looking healthier and beautiful like the picture.Product did arrive quickly.Also, the greenery is not near as full as the picture shown.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Brussel's Dwarf Crepe Myrtle Outdoor Bonsai Tree

Product Description:
With delicate, crinkled vibrant pink/purple flowers blossoming mid to late summer, the Dwarf Crepe Myrtle bonsai tree adds welcome color to any deck, patio or garden. The flowers have six or seven crinkly-edged petals on stalks, sticking out between the sepals, which are simple triangular points. The flowers occur in spike-like clusters. The tree's sinewy, fluted stems support opposing leaves with entire margins.Grown in Chinese nurseries under carefully controlled conditions, and developed at U.S. National Arboretum, this tree is 5 years old and 7 inches tall.
Brussels grows specimens only under carefully controlled conditions, meticulously training each tree with wire and pruning over a period of years. If upon the tree's arrival some leaves have dropped or turned slightly brown that does not mean the bonsai is unhealthy. Defoliation is the natural result of being in the low-light environment of a shipping box. When you receive your tree, place the box in a shaded area to unpack. Inspect tree for damage to branches or leaves. Water soil if dry, and place the tree in shade for at least one week before moving to a sunny location.
What is a Bonsai?
Literally, the Japanese word "bonsai" means "tray tree" or "plant grown in a pot." The term refers to the artistic techniques used to capture the natural beauty of trees, rather than a specific variety of tree. A full-grown tree and a bonsai can be grown from the same seed--the bonsai has simply been dwarfed and shaped through years of training.

Review of Brussel's Satsuki Azalea Outdoor Bonsai Tree

I've traveled into NYC to the flower district, and shopped in Bonzai shops, and picked up pretty good Bonzai over the years.NONE have compared to the quality and beauty of the bonzai from this source.
The people I gave these to as gifts were blown away.
Not only were they good strong specimens, they were beautifully shaped and pruned.These are not just small cuttings stuck in the ground and allowed to grow until mature enough to ship.They are crafted for beauty.
Buy them here, and you will be truly pleased.

Product Description:
With small, round leaves and large, pink flowers blooming from May to June, this broadleaf flowering bonsai is packed with stems for a gorgeous late spring show.Though the Satsuki Azalea has just one flower per stem, the shrub has so many stems that during the flowering season they are a solid mass of color. Grown in Japan for centuries, the Satsuki Azalea's graceful trunk movement adds distinct shape to the patio, deck or garden. This particular bonsai is 5 years old and stands 8 inches tall. Although evergreens can be displayed indoors for short periods of time, they need to experience seasonal changes and should be kept outside year round.

Review of Brussel's Fukien Tea Indoor Bonsai Tree, 6 Years Old

It arrived in perfect condition and the trunk has been beautifully training into an "S" shape without any trunk scarring.The little fukien leaves were nice and shiny and it had the little white flower bloom.A very beautiful tree it is.

For Brussel's website, I would recommend to them that they upgrade their ordering system as it is not a secured server (128 bit SSL with little padlock icon).I was going to order from them directly as it is only $39.99 compared to $49.99 FOR THE EXACT SAME TREE (not taking into consideration the shipping costs) but I would rather pay more and order through AMAZON'S secure server, so I did.

The tree features good trunk movement and produces small white blooms that become red berries. The tree is grown in a Chinese nursery under carefully controlled conditions, and only well-established healthy trees are shipped. Like other living plants, the bonsai tree requires adequate light, soil, temperature, water, and humidity. Mirroring its natural outdoor conditions produces best results.

Review of Brussel's Golden Gate Ficus Indoor Bonsai Tree

The first tree I ordered was badly scarred by wires.The company replaced it quickly with a very nice tree that had a great shape.The ficus is great if you have little natural light.My apartment is very dark and the tree did fine off of the artificial light.That said, this is NOT a tree for beginners.Ficus are notoriously finicky.They like regular water and the same light conditions day after day.Each time you vary the routiine significantly, it will drop all of its leaves.Moreover, this plant was hard to water.The pot doesn't have enough room for the water to soak in, so I had to use a spray bottle and lots of patience.It needs to be watered daily.

In short: good choice if you just don't have any good light, bad, bad choice for a first Bonsai or if you are forgetful or travel.
