I just read the description above and i’m afraid i’ll have to
say this is a scam. To call a tree a bonsai, it must have
been worked on for at least a few years, and what is represented
above is just a young tree (in other words a basic house plant).
Those trees could become bonsai if you spend a lot of time
working on them. Just because it is bent next to a rock does
not make it a bonsai. I am currently starting a few bonsai
and one of them is a juniper like on this picture. (my little
trees are just about the same size as on the pictures, according
to the size proportion between the needles (leaves) and the trunk.
My little trees cost me about 3 bucks a piece, which is a
reasonable price.
For 40 bucks, you could get a 5 years old japanese style maple
bonsai. DO NOT BUY BONSAI ON INTERNET OR IN REGULAR SHOPS,
you will only get ripped off. For more information, i would
recommend that you buy a book on bonsai or read about them
on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonsai
sorry to be the bringer of bad news…

Those are nice micro bonsai specimens. Are they yours? Sorry, there isnt a scale to measure them, but looks like these are (really small).

I had a small Serissa (not sure what spp var.) but it can grow indoors ( in a bright area of course).

Hey nice bonsai pics! Bonsai Trees in simple terms are just minature forms of regular trees and plants but with the right care become much more than that.

Awesome! Just bought something almost identical at the local Lowes store for $9.99….

I’ve always loved Bonsai trees, but they take some looking after.
