Disappointing eBay bonsai purchases. Tell us your experiences.

I recently bought a young satsuki Sachi-No-Tsukasa to add to the collection of varieties I have. The picture of it on eBay was accurate but when I took it out of the pot, I was very disappointed to find that despite paying £12.50 + £4.20 shipping it had hardly any roots.

I have potted it into my new azalea soil mix which has been giving great results for growing the satsukis. In a year or two there should be some cuttings from it.


The picture of how it was on eBay

No roots to be seen. When I investigated there were just enough roots to fit in an eggcup.
