Zanthoxylum bonsai are naturally petite, with dainty miniature leaves. The leaves emit a delightful fragrance reminiscent of citrus or pepper when touched, pruned or brushed against. Some more mature Zanthoxylum bonsai produce small, berry-like fruits that turn from green to red or purple as they mature. This is an extremely attractive variety of indoor bonsai; its great for beginners as easy to care for.

Wondrous Vibrant Mini Leaflets – Zesty Clean Fragrance

The leaves are pinnately compound, meaning they have multiple leaflets arranged along a central stem, resembling a feather-like arrangement. This form is very distinctive and quite unusual. Each leaf is made up of several leaflets, usually between 5 to 11. These leaflets are elongated and have an oval shaped appearance. The leaflets have a smooth and glossy texture on the upper surface, which adds to their distinctive design. The colour of the leaves can vary, typically ranging from bright green to a deeper, darker shade, depending on the maturity of the foliage. The leaflets are arranged alternately along the stem, giving the foliage a balanced and attractive appearance. One of the most best features of Zanthoxylum piperitum is that when you prune, touch or brush against its leaves, they release a pleasant and distinctive citrus or peppery fragrance. This aromatic quality is one of the unique characteristics that sets this bonsai apart. It is a fresh and zesty clean smell which is rather attractive.
