I did not sell the tree, so there's nothing for me to straighten out. I'm not sure what you are getting at Vance.Seems no one wants to explaine it either. If I was Don Blackmond I would be wanting to straighten it out.
Don you are absolutely correct that's absolutely the same seller, not the same tree, I didn't get any FedEx insurance and the one I bought was smaller. I contacted them before I posted negative feedback on Ebay, but they were unwilling to do anything. They said to much time had passed, so it's a $300 lesson learned. But at least word is getting out. Thanks to you, much appreciated!!I did not sell the tree, so there's nothing for me to straighten out. I'm not sure what you are getting at Vance.
Hope this helps you to diagnose what I'm dealing with.View attachment 117316
That is exactly my point Don, the way I was reading all of this you in fact did sell the tree. I did not think it was so we have talked enough that I believe you are beyond and above this kind of selling tactic, but thanks for taking the time to reply.I did not sell the tree, so there's nothing for me to straighten out.

Sorry Tony.Don you are absolutely correct that's absolutely the same seller, not the same tree, I didn't get any FedEx insurance and the one I bought was smaller.

Yeah, that's definitely an autopsy candidate at this point.
I may have missed it, but why not tell us the name of the ebay seller? Sounds like he has a history of problems.
The tree came to me wired that way. I did repot it about a week after I got it. Put it in a comparable size pot, didn't do anything to the roots, just lifted it out of the ugly plastic pot placed it in the pot you see in the picture. Other than that it's been in morning sun afternoon shade, and watered every morning. Hope it wasn't something I did, I am new to this.Who put the wires on?
This, sorry, was a nice tree, but not show ready. I can't believe it's a consequence of shipping.
I hope too. This is not the easiest species. And I've learnt hard that the best time for acquiring trees is generally spring.Hope it wasn't something I did, I am new to this.
When not selling bonsai, he's selling dinosaur eggs.Yes that's definitely the guy, do others have a story to tell?
I wouldn't have re-potted in NY in early August, even if it was just to swap pots...you still end up messing with the roots, if only a bit. Did you see fat, white tipped roots when you re-potted? If you did, the tree was alive and growing at that point. If not, who knows...The tree came to me wired that way. I did repot it about a week after I got it.

Can we get a seller name for a warning.
