Brussel's DT3066AZ Satsuki Azalea Outdoor Bonsai Tree

Brussel's DT3066AZ Satsuki Azalea Outdoor Bonsai Tree Review



Brussel's DT3066AZ Satsuki Azalea Outdoor Bonsai Tree Feature

  • Satsuki azalea bonsai; deciduous, outdoor tree
  • Grown as bonsai in Japan for centuries
  • Graceful trunk movement
  • Pink, white, or red blooms in spring
  • 5 years old, 8 inches tall
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. 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. For more information on care and training visit Brussel's Bonsai on the Web.

Zen Reflections Juniper Bonsai

Zen Reflections Juniper Bonsai Review



Zen Reflections Juniper Bonsai Feature

  • This juniper bonsai will create the illusion of an aged miniature tree in nature
  • Makes a unique gift
  • Delivered in an 7" glazed clay pot, with Japanese suiseki balance stones and a miniature fisherman
  • We have chosen a hardy 3 year old juniper with trailing branches that are easy to train
  • ***PLEASE NOTE: POT MAY VARY FROM PHOTOS DUE TO AVAILABILITY***
The term 'bonsai' literally translated from Japanese means tray planting or tree in pot. The term refers specifically to the training and artistic vision applied to the tree; ultimately this will give the illusion of an aged miniature tree in nature. It is more than just a little tree, it is an attempt to represent nature itself in a small pot. Translated as potted tree, bonsai trees are the attempt to represent larger natural tree forms in a diminutive scale. In this case we have chosen a hardy 3 year old juniper for its long trailing brances, which are easy to train into many fantastic bonsai styles. Delivered in a beautiful 7" glazed clay earth/water pot that is complimented by Japanese suiseki balance stones and a miniature fisherman.

Sacred Japanese Cedar 35 Seeds - Cryptomeria japonica

Sacred Japanese Cedar 35 Seeds - Cryptomeria japonica Review



Japanese cedar is a tall, cone-shaped evergreen with bluish green foliage and a massive trunk with thick reddish brown bark that shreds and peels in long strips. This is a fast-growing tree that, in its native habitat, can get more than 180' tall with a trunk diameter exceeding 12'; ornamental specimens are rarely more than 60' tall, though, and many of the named selections stay much smaller. The branches are arranged in horizontal tiers, ascending at first, then drooping near their ends. The flattened, wedge-shaped leaves are about a half-inch long and point forward, while their bases clasp the twigs. The leaves are overlapping and crowded in 5 ranks that spiral around and completely cloak the twigs. Culture Japanese cedar can grow to 25' tall in just 10 years. Light: Full sun to partial shade. Moisture: Japanese cedar needs well-drained soil but plenty of water for best growth. Never allow the soil to dry out and mist if the humidity stays very low. Hardiness: USDA Zones 6 - 9. In zones 6 and 7, expect the foliage to turn brown or purplish in winter. Propagation: Japanese cedar can be grown from seed. Named cultivars are propagated vegetatively by rooting mature tip cuttings in late summer or autumn, or by layering. To start a new plant by layering, cram a section of branch into a pot or bury it in the ground. Water occasionally and in a couple of months the potted section will have roots, and you can sever the branch from the mother plant. Allow it establish for another month or two before moving. Young, well-rooted specimens transplant easily.
