Personal comment:

This beautiful hardy bonsai represents excellent value for money. Potted in to a brand new 12 inch soft cream pot with very tasteful ornate design. I love the sweeping flow of the branches as they spread downwards. The windswept style trunk is strong and majestic. A perfect bonsai to prune and style. Easy for beginners with lush and vibrant foliage. A large bonsai with strong stature and good windswept style design and excellent trunk taper. Highly recommend for ease of care and supplied with a copy of our Bonsai Direct care handbook.
