I was given a bonsai for my birthday.....ichiban bonsai....but no type
checked off on the card.....juniper, box, ficus etc. Is there a sight
where I can compare my tree to pictures?
Thanks.


This can be hard. Try describing the tress. Leaves or needles? Size of
leaves? Color of leaves? Shape of leaves? opposite (do two leaves come out of the
same level of the branch) or alternate (one leaf on one side, the leaf above
or below on the other side) Get the rocks off the surface! Keep outdoors as
much as possible, but if it has been indoors expose it to full sun gradually.
