Dry Foliage! Help

P-H, as has already been mentioned, it is highly likely that your tree is dead. That's the bad news. The good news is that its already Spring there in Sunny California and all the nurseries, including the big-box bargain lots (K-Mart, Lowes, etc.), will soon, if not already, be loaded with terrific material in 1 Gallon containers and up that are much less expensive than the tree you purchased and offer much better starting points for bonsai. If you can get yourself into a club, you will find that the bonsaists in your area are agog with activity now, including helping beginners select new material and begin the many fascinating processes neede to create new bonsai from it. There are a number of great clubs in your area that would welcome an enthusiastic beginner like yourself with open arms. A little searching on the internet should locate them.

Good luck, Fred
