"Top service and beautiful trees!"

I have ordered two bonsai trees, one for myself and the other at another address to give as a gift. I just received my own bonsai and it looks fantastic! The tree was properly packed, so that no damage occurred during transport. Despite the fact that the delivery took a little longer (this is because I was called to ask if I could wait a little longer, because the bonsai player did not have the desired “beautiful” trees) the product arrived well and I am very satisfied with your service. Highly recommended! Thanks guys! 👌

Good fast delivery, well packaged. It is important that the tree does not dry out during transport. This is super! A manual focused on the type of "bonsai" would have been nice. Even if a reference to by-products such as food or scissors would have been optimal, these were unfortunately not included.

Great company! Besides that the tree looks awfully good, the service is also fantastic. After the first package was lost in the mail, they immediately switched and provided a solution. After a few days they had already sent a replacement tree. In addition, the tree comes with an extensive description of how you can best take care of the tree. If you ever consider buying a Bonsai tree, buy it here! 10/10
"Top service en pracht bomen!"

Ik heb twee bonsai bomen besteld, eentje voor mijzelf en de ander op een ander adres om cadeau te doen. Ik heb zojuist mijn eigen bonsai mogen ontvangen en hij ziet er fantastisch uit! De boom was degelijk verpakt, waardoor er tijdens het transport geen enkele schade is ontstaan. Ondanks dat de levering wat langer duurde (dit omdat ik werd gebeld met de vraag of ik nog even kon wachten, omdat men daar bij de bonsaïst niet de gewenste “mooie” bomen konden leveren) kwam het product goed aan en ben ik hartstikke tevreden met jullie service. Zeker een aanrader! Thanks guys! 👌
"Goede snelle levering"

Goede snelle levering, die goed verpakt zat. Er word waarde gehecht dat de boom tijdens de transport niet uitdroogt. Dit is super! Een handleiding gericht op het soort “bonsai” was fijn geweest. Eveneens als een verwijs naar bij-producten zoals voeding of schaar was optimaal geweest, echter zaten deze helaas er niet bij.

Top bedrijf! Naast dat de boom er verschrikkelijk goed uitziet is de service ook fantastisch. Na dat het eerste pakketje verloren was geraakt in de post hebben ze meteen geschakeld en gezorgd voor een oplossing. Na een paar dagen hadden ze al een vervangende boom opgestuurd. Daarnaast wordt de boom geleverd met een uitgebreide beschrijving van hoe je de boom het best kan verzorgen. Als je ooit overweegt een Bonsaï boom te kopen, koop het hier! 10/10

The Story of Shirin-Yoku
“It was an honor visiting Meiji Jingū. Meiji Jingū, a shrine in Tokyo, is not very old by Japanese standards. As a tribute to Emperor Meiji and Empress Sh*ken, it was completed in 1920. It is believed that trees provide a conduit between shrines and the gods. A shrine forest, or chinju no mori, is typically thought of as "old primeval forest," bringing us back to "the ancient age of myth." However, at Meiji Jing*, everything was planted from scratch, which required the planting of more than a hundred thousand trees. It was intended to create an eternal forest dominated by long-lived trees such as zelkova or ginkgo, but because an immediate shrine atmosphere was needed, a 150-year plan was designed in which fast-growing trees such as Hinoki cypress, Japanese cryptomeria, and two kinds of pine provided the appearance of a chinju no mori before small, broadleaf species gradually took over.”
