Your cart is empty.The Fukien Tea. ('Carmona microphylla' or botanically 'Ehretia buxifolia') is a shrub-like, evergreen tropical plant of Southern Chinese descent. It is ideally an indoor plant. The Fukien Tea is a very attractive subject for bonsai, with shiny, oval, dark-green leaves against a grey-green trunk with white, slightly perfumed flowers which can appear all year round if given the right conditions. Afterwards, small berries are produced changing from green to red. It can be clipped into your desired bonsai shape easily, without need of wiring. General Care: The Fukien Tea grows well as an indoor bonsai (Depending on your climate it can be left outside and brought inside for the winter when temperatures drop below 15°C (60°F) or left inside all year as long as the plant is in a sunny position with adequate water and humidity). Branches can be pruned all year. Pinch out new shoots that detract from the overall shape of the bonsai. Trim new shoots back to two to three leaves regularly in the growing season, and every month in winter. Feed fortnightly from spring to autumn and monthly in winter with a low nitrogen feed. Water regularly. The leaves are used to make a unique and tasty tea. The berries are edible.

I haven't ordered this product. But I've looked at the review images and they're soo small! I bought a Carmona double the size of these twigs for $12 at Lowes, it even came with a bonsai pot! I will never order this product, I'd rather order for Eastern Leaf. That way, I know it will be quality for this price.

My tea tree was packaged perfectly and was very healthy when delivered. When I'm ready to order additional trees I will order here.

Came with a live snail today, other than that it seems to be in fine shape. Nice strong trunk structure, but it might be some time before I decide what direction to go with it.

It was well packed and it was of really good size and had a thick trunk. It was even packed with a heat pack. The only issue I had was that after It warmed up a bit, it had quite a few aphids come out of hibernation. I got rid of them in time, its now doing well. This is a great species for an indoor bonsai, it seems to love the fluorescent lights in my cube.
