The Sageretia Bonsai – Chinese Sweet Plum (Sageretia theezans) is a delightful indoor bonsai, admired for its unique character and year-round interest. Often referred to as the Bird Plum, this species develops great charm at an early age. Thanks to its attractive flaky bark, which reveals warm tones of red and tan beneath.
Its foliage is equally captivating, with new growth flushed in shades of rusty red before maturing into glossy green leaves. In the right conditions, the Sageretia Bonsai also produces small white flowers that transform into tiny purple, plum-shaped fruits. An enchanting feature that adds to its natural beauty. Fast-growing, versatile, and forgiving, it is an excellent choice for both beginners.
Carrying a rich tree symbolism of protection, creativity, new life, and warm wishes, the Chinese Sweet Plum Bonsai is not only stunning but also deeply meaningful. These qualities make it a wonderful and thoughtful bonsai gift, especially for occasions such as celebrating a new baby or sending heartfelt blessings.
