I’m so upset! I bought a redwood bonsai at sears. It was discounted but still over $100. This poor baby arrived. He’s technically not even a bonsai; just a sapling with the apex chopped off, which is really bad for the tree. He was wilted and packed so poorly that the little foliage he had was mostly broken off by the time he got here. I’ve written to their customer service to complain about the quality of the tree and the way they treated it, but I don’t want to send it back because I know they’ll just throw it out. Am I weird? 😶 And anyone have any experience with redwoods? I’m thinking he’ll be pretty much like my juniper, but any additional tips are very much appreciated! 🙏
