Bonsai Elm parvifolia S Style 7 yr - 1 tree - By Bonsai2u

I brought this tree for my husband's birthday and am absolutely delighted with it. It arrived a few days after ordering which was a couple of weeks before the birthday so I was a bit worried about it being in the box but it was fine. Unfortunately I was very ill on my husband's birthday so he was given it still in the box - I didn't see the packaging but he said it was very well packaged with no chance of the tree being damaged. The tree itself was in perfect condition after its two weeks in a box and I was delighted with how healthy it looked and its shape. All it needed was some water as the soil had dried out. The tree is in a lovely authentic pot with tray and I've attached a photo which shows the tree about two weeks after it was unwrapped. Together with the tree was a lot of printed information sheets which gave not only a lot of generic details about bonsai and how to care for the trees but also specific information about this particularly tree like when it was last repotted and when it would need repotting again. Over a month after my husband's birthday the tree is still looking great although it has lost a few leaves but this is understandable and also from the literature for the tree it is now autumn (having been imported from Japan the seasons are the other way around). If you are interested in trying a bonsai tree I would highly recommend this one as its inexpensive and absolutely delightful. Makes a great gift too. I also brought a book about caring for bonsai trees but you don't need it as this tree comes with all the information you could need.

I’ve had this Chinese Elm bonsai for quite some time now, and it’s been an absolute delight. When it first arrived, it was exceptionally well-packaged, ensuring it reached me in perfect condition. It was lush and leafy straight out of the box, which gave a brilliant first impression and set the tone for my experience. The deep green leaves have maintained their vibrant colour, adding a fresh and calming presence to my space. The ceramic pot and matching tray not only provide a sturdy base but also complement the bonsai's elegance beautifully. What’s impressed me most is its resilience. It’s thrived through summer, autumn, winter, and now into spring 2025 without any issues. Seeing it sprout new growth as the seasons turn has been incredibly rewarding—it feels like a little emblem of renewal and endurance right on my table. This bonsai has become more than just a plant; it’s a steadfast companion through the seasons. If you’re looking for something that combines nature, patience, and serenity, I can’t recommend it enough.

I must admit that, although I ordered this in faith, I was a little dubious about what I was going tor receive. But, it was well worth it. The bonsai tree was well packaged in a way that there would be little risk of damage to the tree or the pot. The soil was covered over to avoid spilling out and there were no damaged branches or leaves in the one that I received. It came healthy and with good bright green leaves and sturdy branches. I originally didn't read the care instructions and as a result put it near a radiator and didn't water it in the correct way so nearly killed it! But, after realising my mistakes, I moved it over to the windowsill and watered it properly ensuring it the watering would filter through the soil and it has bloomed amazingly. New branches are growing with decent healthy leaves and it is a joy to look at and so far easy to look after. The ornamental pot and dish are really nice and attractive, however I decided to move it into a bigger pot just for my own preference. I also bought some bonsai feed and pruning scissors from Amazon (see my other reviews) and they help to keep it looking lively and tidy. I would recommend this little gem, they do look very cool and I do like the miniature look of the bonsai tree.

A lovely little bonsai. Bought for my husband’s birthday in November, at first a lot of leaves dried up and fell off but it’s coming back to life now and looks great, can’t wait to see it develop in the warmer months.

I bought this tree as a gift for my friend whose birthday was in August. She lives in a different city to me and for many reasons I haven't been able to give it to her yet so I still have it. The tree came VERY well packaged the base and drip tray were both well wrapped in bubble wrap and the whole box itself had polystyrene peanuts filling it to prevent the tree from damage. I was very impressed with the packaging and the tree seemed to have dropped little to no leaves on its journey. The delivery also only took about 2-3 days which was also great. It came with a long list of instructions which was quite overwhelming as I didn't expect such a little tree to be such high maintenance! The first appearance of the tree I was impressed with, however it didn't have anywhere near as many leaves as on the picture. I was expecting some of the leaves to have yellowed during the delivery but none of them had which is probably because it was only in the box for a couple of days. I received this tree in the summer and put it on my windowsill which gets sun all day... big mistake. The tree quickly dried out and dropped the majority of its leaves in a few days despite me feeding it often. I moved it to my desk but still to this day it has not gone back to the same state as before. It started to sprout very long branches rather than the smaller ones it was supposed to, I did some research and put this down to it not getting enough sunlight, so I moved it to a different windowsill that gets a good amount of sunlight, but not as much direct sunlight as the others. The branches are still quite long so I am going to do some pruning and see if that helps. Overall I am happy with the tree, it still looks quite good, the 'S' shape of the trunk is very pleasing and interesting to look at.

I’ve bought a tree from this company before and had to have this one it’s a beautiful tree packed very well as was my last one. I didn’t have to water it on arrival the soil was moist some leaves had fallen off but a few short days later she is brimming with new growth so no need to panic.

Beautiful tree. Was not sure if it is worth it and what state it would arrive, but very happy with delivery. Tree looks healthy and well looked after.

Nice item. But hard to keep alive even when strictly following instructions
