About The Bonsai Tree:
- Large Hawaiian Umbrella - 7 Years Old, 10-14" Tall
- We'd like to celebrate a tree that's native to Australia, all over Southeast Asia yet named after The Aloha State, because The World of Bonsai is a Wacky Place.
- Hawaiian Umbrella are the trees I give as gifts when people find out I work for a Bonsai company and then demand one, and to date even my most incompetent friends and family members (ie "most of them") have managed to keep theirs alive and thriving ~ if that's not a testament to their resilience, than I don't know what is.
- They're evergreens with beautiful dark green leaves that form tiny umbrellas and stick around all year long, and the unique & intricate root system is unlike anything you're likely to see outside of Indonesia.
- According to its Wikipedia page, the Hawaiian Umbrella is "popular for its tolerance of neglect and poor growing conditions", which is sad, but true. They don't take a lot of work or care to be gorgeous, which is a lot more than I can say for myself.
- The Hawaiian Umbrella does really well in low light conditions (making it perfect for homes and offices) and it doesn't require much watering (making it perfect for people who forget to water things).
About the Starter Kits:
-
Bonsai Survival Guide - More than just a book with pictures. This is a great little book that breaks down key information on cultivating Bonsai into easy-to-grasp tips. It was written in anticipation of the most frequently asked questions. It gives quick answers to all your questions in plain English. It's an excellent place to start for beginners and an invaluable pocket reference guide for the more experienced. This book is an icon in the Bonsai world.
-
Traditional Butterfly Bonsai Shears - The "Butterfly" shaped pruning shear is the most popular Bonsai tool on the market. They’re very easy to use, exceptionally powerful because of their unique design and have plenty of room in the handles to accommodate gloved fingers. When it comes to trimming roots, twigs and branches easily and precisely, Butterfly Shears are essential.
-
2 oz. Bottle of Uncle Bill's Bonsai Fertilizer(tm) - Uncle Bill’s Bonsai Brew is a 3-3-3, low dose year-round fertilizer that’s perfect for almost all species of bonsai and used on our very own Bonsai here at NEBG. Uncle Bill’s is water soluble and free of odor, which makes it particularly good for your indoor trees.
-
2 oz. Bottle of Uncle Bill's Bonsai Frit(tm) - FRIT contains over 28 vital trace elements and minerals that are essential to the health of your bonsai. This slow acting granular compound will gently release all the major and minor trace elements over a 12 month period. 30% of the compounds are soluble in the first hour. The remaining nutrients become available with the natural breakdown in the soil over the course of a year.
-
Aluminum Wire - Aluminum wire is used throughout the Bonsai world to shape and train early Bonsai trees. The Kit includes 4 feet of wire to point your Bonsai in the right direction so that it grows into the majestic Bonsai tree of your dreams.
-
Genuine Chinese Mud Figurine - No Bonsai tree is complete without an old-world figurine to add realism, authenticity and culture - not to mention good Karma. These figurines are extremely detailed and hand-made in China from refinded mud, then partly glazed and kiln fired. The specific figurine may vary. (Not all kits contain the same mudmen - They will vary)
About the Humidity Tray
-
Made in Japan (unlike most Humidity Trays sold in the United States) so they’re sturdy, durable and authentic.
-
Designed specifically to maintain moisture levels, which are absolutely critical for Bonsai trees. As the excess water in the tray evaporates, your tree will be surrounded by the humidity, and it’ll love you for it. \
-
Each tray includes River Rocks or Sand (what you receive depends on which nursery it ships from), which are both functional and add to the general aesthetic of your Bonsai. The tray and rocks/sand can also be used for Cacti, Succulents or any other house plant.
We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
