Brussel's DT9049DCM Crepe Myrtle Bonsai

I was very excited to get this tree and it has turned out to be a major disappointment. I received it very early on in the spring, so I was not surprised that it came with bare branches. I have now had it for about 6 weeks and it has not shown any sign that it has new growth on it.I was really looking forward to seeing it bloom. I guess that won't be happening for me.I am now happy to report that this tree is finally showing signs of life. It has started to leaf out nicely. I was ready to write it off and use the pot for something else. I now hope to see blooms sometime this season.

Mine has not flowered yet, however it is a great plant that requires low maintenance.Good for indoor use. I keep it in the hallway which receives very little natural light and it does fine.Just water about once a week.

The Crepe Myrtle Bonsai came well packaged. No damage. Of course, when when we received it in early spring, it had no leaves. Since then it has leafed out. Looks like picture except no blooms yet. I believe it should start blooming early summer. Looking forward to seeing blooms. If it blooms, I will change my star rating to 5 stars. Plant is very healthy. I would recommend buying from Brussel.

Plant looks nothing like picture. Purchased an elm from same buyer that is beautiful not sure what’s up with this one. Not attractive at all

I was very exited to receive my plant. It is currently winter so I knew there would be no leaves on the little tree. What I did not expect was that the pot would be completely smashed to pieces. The tree top was well protected but there was no packaging to protect the pot itself nor was the box marked as FRAGILE.

Arrived very sick died shortly after.

On March 21, 2011, I purchased a Brussel's DT9049DCM Crepe Myrtle Bonsai tree through Amazon. The tree received in a dormant state (No leaves or signs of growth). In mid April 2010 I became concerned about the lack of growth (Only about six leaves) on the entire tree and all those leaves on a coupe branches only. I telephoned Brussel's to determine if tree was late to thrive or what. I received a return call from Brussel's Bonsia Master who stated that it was normal that their trees was just now starting to grow and to give it two to four weeks and call him back with the status. Upon request I e-mailed them six protographs of the tree. After a couple weeks all signs of life on the tree were gone. An additional six photographs were sent and with the exchange of several emails where they indicated they would replace the item. On May 17, 2001, I received an email indicating you purchase the item from Amazon so go through them for a replacement or you can buy a new one directly from them. Now I have never returned an item through Amazon, but to say I am very disappointed in this matter is an understatement. Is there any assistance Amazon can provide in this matter?????? Try and find a phone number to call Amazon. I sent an email through their system without any response. Buyer beware, if you want to be treated like a second class system buy from Brussel's through Amazon. After the purchase of eleven trees through Brussels and about seven of them through Brussel's has lost a CUSTOMEr. As well if I can't get any response through Amazon they have lost a CUSTOMER as well!!!!!!!!

plant arrived in good shape. within 1 week all leaves fell off. Two days later new leaves are growing. Don't know if the bonsai is confused on what time of year it is or what?
