Character Bonsai | Magnificent Indoor Fruiting Sweet Plum with Outstanding Artistic Style

A Premium Sweet Plum Character Bonsai with Expressive Movement & Mature Presence

This magnificent indoor Chinese Sweet Plum (Sageretia theezans) is a true character bonsai, individually photographed so you will receive this exact tree. At 14 years old, it showcases remarkable maturity, expressive trunk movement and a beautifully developed canopy. The trunk twists with strong artistic flow, enhanced by textured reddish bark that contrasts beautifully with the brand-new glossy black ceramic pot and matching drip tray.

A Bonsai with Exceptional Ramification and Natural Elegance

This Sweet Plum bonsai features a powerful, gnarly trunk with incredible taper and a striking root flare. Its refined ramification forms beautifully structured foliage pads, each layered with vibrant, tiny leaves. New growth flushes in warm tones of russet, red and bronze before maturing to a rich emerald green.

In summer, the tree produces small purple plum-like fruits — one of the hallmarks of this much-loved species. The colour transitions throughout the year create continuous visual interest, making this an ideal statement bonsai for your home or office.

Presented in a Glossy Black Ceramic Pot with Matching Tray

The deep black glaze perfectly emphasises the warm reddish tones of the bark and the brightness of the fresh foliage. The matching drip tray completes the display with a clean, modern finish — an elegant presentation that elevates the tree’s natural artistry.
