what not to buy.

Here is a picture of what I found at the Home depot today. 2 juniper bonsai trees and 2 Chinese elm bonsai trees. These trees were either close to death or already dead. The junipers for sure were toast. I know that because they were shipped from Florida. The weather there is much different than here. These are outdoor trees. the shock from the move to colder weather was enough to kill them.
The Chinese elms were almost dead. They had very little healthy foliage. most of it was dried up and falling off. All 4 trees had dead moss glued to the soil.
So don't buy bonsai from these stores.....

Don't do it. :) wait until spring and buy one from a nursery...
