I am very new to Bonsai Trees and I planned on getting this as a Christmas gift for a family member. I ordered it two days ago expecting it may take a week or so.. When I got home today to my surprise it was here and EXTREMELY well wrapped and it even came with instructions on proper maintenance for it.. It does not look like the one pictured however it is beautiful!! I think my family member is going to love this and Im even thinking of buying others for my other family members.. Keep in mind after reading all the maintenance that it will need to be cared for daily and need to have plenty of light etc etc, but for how beautiful this plant is it is definitely worth it.

Lou provided outstanding and prompt service. The tree came and was wrapped perfectly. Beautiful and healthy tree. This company is awesome and I will always deal with them.

The tree was very well packaged and arrived undamaged. Only a few leaves fell off during shipment. The tree is roughly 60% of the size indicated in the item description and the shape is not as well defined as shown. All that said it doesn’t appear to be a bad value.

yes, it is not the one pictured in their advertisement, but the one i received is equally beautiful. everything is great about my bonsai, such as the texture of the tree bark, the beautifully shaped leaves, no complaints, high recommend bonsai boys. shipping was excellent, from new york to seattle, arrived in great condition. had it for a couple weeks so far, lots of new leaves, enjoy it every day!

First off, the bonsai looks pretty darn close to the photo – and when you consider they “train” more than one that’s a welcome outcome. But considering I ordered through an Amazon partner I wasn’t concerned. I’ve always been satisfied – even if minor adjustments are needed.
BonsaiBoy packaging was awesome! I was curious how it would arrive – particularly since it’s a living thing and this is late December.
The bonsai is carefully wrapped at the base (pot) so the soil does not move at all. But it unwraps quickly – use a circular motion in the opposite direction of the packing. You’ll see.
Packing peanuts surround the bonsai so the box can take the expected transit handling. Lifting the bonsai out of the box the peanuts fall away and the tree is unharmed. Easy.
A surprise was the chemical heat pack also included. I ordered for Christmas and live on the west coast so it had to travel quite a ways during very cold weather. Very impressed they took the time to add that little extra insurance. The pack didn’t last the entire trip of course but it did ease the transition from where it was raised to the travel conditions via UPS.
Those of you that have them know bonsai are sensitive so, now that it has arrived, it’s over to me to help it recover from the stress of the trip. Well, again to my surprise, the care sheet provided includes instructions for cold weather transition. This is not the little tag you get on some bonsai. This is a two-page well written sheet – broken down by categories. Again, impressive.
Particularly given the Amazon price and the BonsaiBoy workmanship this is definitely a worthwhile purchase.
