This unique gift set includes seeds, compost and a ceramic pot to grow your own bonsai tree.

Sweet gum (Liquidambar formosana) trees produce handsome foliage, which put on a spectacular show in the autumn, when they turn rich shades of red, gold, orange and purple before being shed.

The tree prefers a sunny spot with protection from freezing conditions and strong winds.

Detailed growing instructions and a care guide are included with the kit.
