I just got back from Costco and I not only did I see Malsai there, but I saw women buying them for their husbands for fathers day. These were not even trees, they were houseplants in bonsai pots and the glued in rocks. I just laughed.

It is a scandal everywhere and people get used to see these horrors or really pre-pre-bonsai and
choose the less ugly one..
In Italy are sold in the street market by chinese that can say just : give water and cut . and also in saturday sales for AIDS collecting money every week almost . In France and switzerland are in malls but most are elms and
carmona
I bought one just too see how a carmona reacts ,the soil was so ugly that after a week I washed all away cut as much as I could and put my mix
and put it on my balcony 1 months later ,now , is filled with white flowers..
but is a fussy plant probably in septemeber will be abanbdoned in the warnr green house of theBotanic park :-) they have none apprently

The Bonsai Doctor, Nina, no doubt, will hear from wives: "That
clod can't keep ANYthing alive -- including our romance! NOW
he's killing that priceless little 20-year-old XXXXX tree I
bought him for Father's day. How do I . . ."

Or from husbands: "I KNOW this was a test. I just know it. She
got me this IMPOSSIBLE XXXX bonsai, and I haven't the faintest
idea what to do. It's turning brown. Please help . . . "
