Summary: Dawn Redwood
Comment: I received my Dawn Redwood today. It looks wonderful. I was initially nervous about purchasing more plants online because I have had bad experiences from nurseries. But I read the reviews on this particular tree and they convinced me to try again. The tree arrived in great shape. It actually only spent about 3 days in the box. It was well packed it looks very healthy and the soil was still damp on arrival.
Thanks you for the care that was taken in selecting, packing and shipping my tree. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others.

Summary: Fabulous, even better than the example picture
Comment: 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!

Summary: Nice Gift
Comment: We bought a package deal- a redwood and a grove. They were shipped quickly and arrived healthy. My sister and her husband appreciate the fact the bonsai can live outside their small home in the California foothills.

Summary: Beautiful
Comment: I received this tree this week. I have purchased Bonsai trees from other online vendors, but none have compared to this starting with the packing of the tree, you could tell it was packed with great care, it arrived in perfect shape. The tree is healthy and beautiful, far more beautiful than the picture shown on Amazon. The tree has a wonderful aroma, it smells like your in a forest, on a fall morning.
I could tell it was healthy immediately. Sometimes when you order things on line your disappointed, but not enough to go through the trouble of sending the item back. The minute I saw this tree I had wished I had ordered more. I will order other items from this company, I hope they are as fine as this purchase was.Brussel's Dawn Redwood Outdoor Bonsai Tree

Summary: Stunning
Comment: Back in March I ordered four dawn redwoods from a nursery on Ebay, all about 2-3 feet tall. They arrived bareroot and healthy. The plan was to plant three in the ground to replace trees uprooted by Katrina. The fourth was to go into a pot to be trained as bonsai. All four trees were thriving, but the one in the pot looked like a plant that yearned to join the rest of its family out in the yard, rather than being forested with my bonsai collection. Clearly, it was going to take time, patience, and training to get it to look like a bonsai. I decided to put it in the ground and order a Brussels Dawn Redwood.
And I'm glad I did. The Brussels tree is a long way from a specimen, but it already looks like a bonsai, a mature-looking but minature redwood with beatuiful tapered trunk and gorgeous lower branching, all of which was lacking in the nursery tree, which had arrived pruned to favor topgrowth. The Brussels Dawn redwood is absolutely stunning, far superior to the tree pictured on Amazon.
Sure, the nursery tree would have acquired this look--eventually, and after much training. But it loves growing with its kinfolk in the yard, and meanwhile I have this beautifully shaped little tree from Brussels to marvel at every time I sit outside with my bonsai collection. Frankly, I can't take my eyes off it.
I'm neither impatient by nature nor a champion of acting on impulse. But there are times when instant gratification and acting on impulse has its rewards, and this was one of them. The Brussels Dawn Redwood looks like a tree, not a seedling. It is nothing short of breathtaking.
