6 years ago I got this tree from a bonsai shop who import/sell Japaneses bonsai trees.
Gardenia is a evergreen tree and prized for the strong sweet scent of their flowers.
The fruits is used as a yellow dye(crocin), which is used for clothes and food.
Gardenias have a reputation for being difficult to grow. Because they originated in warm humid tropical areas, they demand high humidity to thrive and weak in cold weather. They flourish in
acidic soils with good drainage. Potting soils developed especially for gardenias are available.
