What it is:
A kit containing everything needed to grow and sculpt a bonsai.
Why we love it:
Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) Known only as a fossil until 1946 when a Chinese forester discovered the first living specimen in the middle of a rice paddy in Tsang Wang. It was named the 'discovery tree' and symbolizes the surprises still to be found in nature. The tree's light green foliage turns yellow, then bronze in the autumn months until the leaves finally fall off. This bonsai forest kit includes everything you need to grow and to sculpt your tree into a living work of art: tree and moss seed, seedling training pots, seed starting wafers, growing medium, bonsai scissors and rack with spade, river stone, directions and a recycled US steel bonsai grow box.
Where to get it:
