About this tree: It is a yamadori tree collected by me a long while ago. That species is a rare case of tree to which I am just unable to find the right approach. Every time I try to build some kind of branch structure - it grows new shoots in different places, every time I try to trim the branches - the branches die off. Over the years I was only able to cut the trunk shorter. I think it's time to give up on that species for me and let someone else try it themselves. I'm sure it's possible to build bonsai out of it, I've seen a lot of pics.

!¡! Important !¡!

That tree is bigger in size than I used to and would need a more specialized way of fixation it in the box. Shipping could take a bit longer than usual and the tree would be pruned for shipping purposes.

Returns/refunds policy: Unfortunately, I can't guarantee that the tree would live a long and happy life under your care. Nevertheless, shipping tree properly is my responsibility. If the package arrived in time, you opened it on the same (or the next) day and the tree is dead I would refund you the full price of that plant.

Some of my trees naturally got a layer of moss on the soil surface. Unfortunately, moss, in my experience, can't handle shipping as easily as other plants. But even if moss died because of shipping- don't worry, it would grow back from spores in 2-4 months with proper watering.
