Creative gift ideas can sometimes be elusive. You want to
avoid the ordinary and don’t want to choose something that’s odd or
obscure. Let us help.
Bonsai trees have grown tremendously in popularity in recent
years. Why? Because they offer so many unique attributes.
-
They are elegant,
one-of-a-kind choices. Because these living sculptures are the work
of nature, rather than products off an assembly line, no two are
ever identical.
-
Bonsai are easy to
care for and represent successful options for people who consider
themselves something other than “green thumbs”. Unlike fragile or
fussing plants that require constant monitoring and care, bonsai
just need a location that’s suited to the individual variety -
information that’s provided with each shipment - and a little water.
-
Bonsai are
attractive additions to any decor, with forms, colors and sizes to
enhance a wide range of living spaces and work environments.
-
Displaying
outstanding longevity, bonsai trees can live for years, extending
your warm wishes and the accompanying gift out for decades. Think
how fun it could be for your gift recipient to transition through
the common stages of life: marriage, children, moves from one house
to another, and eventual retirement…with that beloved bonsai tree
there every step of the way.
-
Bonsai offer many
variety and style choices. These include trees that are ideally
suited to either indoor or outdoor locations.
Indoor bonsai
include tropicals like ficus and jades that are adaptable to lower
light conditions. Outdoor bonsai include temperate trees such
as evergreen pines and junipers and deciduous varieties like maples
and elms. Both indoor and outdoor bonsai trees are shipped with care
cards so recipients know where to place their new tree, how much
water to provide and what to do for outdoor trees with the arrival
of winter.
-
Bonsai trees also offer a wide selection of forms including:
-
Upright styles that are formal or informal and casual
- Broom form
-
Cascading
-
and Multi-tree groves
-
Bonsai
choices also include a range of trees types with colorful seasonal
features including:
- Trees that are decorated with fragrant
or vibrantly shaded flowers
-
Varieties that produce colorful fruits or berries
-
Trees with foliage that turns red, orange, gold or yellow in the fall
-
Evergreen bonsai that hold their needles year round
After making your selection, you may wonder about how the
bonsai is shipped. First, rest assured that your tree will reach its
destination well hydrated and securely packed. The base of each tree is
wrapped in plastic to retain moisture and to prevent any topsoil from
spilling during shipment. Trees are wired to the pot, placed inside a
double-walled carton for protection and secured with proprietary packing
systems to keep them from shifting during transit.
Above all, enjoy your
bonsai. With minimal care, it will provide joy for years to come. |
