you should be able to take the tree back, being they mislead you. It seems
to be a common practice with these mall dealers to give wrong information.
There is a distributor on long island that has a long history of distributing
this poor material to malls all over.
Stay away from Conifers. They make poor indoor trees. Serissa and Ficus
make good varieties of indoor trees. There are a few others
Some nurseries sell bonsai , but I have noticed they also sell suspect
trees as well sometimes. If you can't find good Bonsai in your area then maybe
you can look on line. I have seen some interesting stuff on Ebay. You have to
be careful just like anywhere else. But you can find nice stuff on line.
Don't be afraid to ask questions to dealers via email before you buy. many are
legitimate and want to earn your business
