Very nice fall coror. Decideous. Temperate. Protect from frost. 11 years old. 12" tall. Suitable 10"x8" humidity tray is recommended. To purchase add $4.95 (50% 0ff regular price with tree order).

To keep your bonsai tree healthy and growing well, NEVER use tap water on your bonsai. ALWAYS use drinking, distilled, or Reverse Osmosis purified water. A "simple" carbon filter water filter will not get the water purified enough for your bonsais. Tap water contains chlorine, metals and minerals that will harm your bonsai over time.
