Beautiful little tree, Lynn. A nice Christmas present from your daughter. I have seen hundreds of these kind of bonsai trees die. All for the same reason. I am not sure if your tree is imported, or from an american nursery. But the imported ones are often doomed. Because of quarantine rules, most are planted in clay. Because the rules for importing soil from other countries are very, very, strict. It is to limit the spread of any kind of virus or disease. So therefore, the bonsai dealers and importers, get the trees, set in clay instead of soil. Unfortunately, that fact, will cause the tree to die. The importers and dealers, ought to replace the clay, with real soil, as soon as the small trees arrive from distant countries. But they don't... #;oD Why? Simple.. the process of replacing clay, with real soil.. cost money, and takes time and human effort. And thereby, less profit... capitalism, you know.. #;oD The dealer is happy if the tree dies#;oD.. he can blame you for mistreating, of the tree..and sell you a couple of hundres more of them. #;oD.. Untill you finally give up on bonsai, because you think, that your bonsai talent was insufficient... dealers are NASTY !!! #;oD But use a small wooden stick, and try to dig, carefully in the soil, close to the trunk. Dig carefully among the roots of the tree. You will be able to identify pretty fast, if the tree is set in clay or soil. If it is pure soil surrounding the roots.. your a one of the few lucky ones. If you find that clay is surrounding the roots..the only chance for the tree to survive.. Is if you remove the clay, from it's roots. And set it in pure soil. Eventually with a little sand, mixed in it. But never use sand from the beach.. because there are salt in it. Sand or gravel from a gravel pit, without salt. That process sometimes rescues the tree.. But very often.. the tree has lived in clay for so long, that it will founder, no matter what. Best of luck. I hope it stand in pure soil. I personally lost a tremendous amount of trees..untill i discovered why they died. So this knowledge is hard earned. Just my 5 cents, for what it's worth. #:o)+5
