Birthday Present Cherry Blossom Bonsai Tree – Beginner Starter Kit
A Meaningful Birthday Present Cherry Blossom
If you are looking for a birthday present cherry blossom that feels thoughtful and lasting, this Purple Cherry Blossom bonsai makes a wonderful choice. Instead of a short-lived bouquet, this living tree provides years of enjoyment. As a result, it creates a memorable birthday gift for beginners and plant lovers alike.
About the Purple Cherry Blossom (Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’)
This deciduous outdoor bonsai is known botanically as Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’, often called the Black Cherry Plum. Growers value it for its elegant twig structure and dramatic seasonal colour. In early spring, pale pink flowers open from deep pink buds. These blooms contrast beautifully with the newly emerging bronze leaves.
As the season progresses, the foliage deepens into rich purple tones, giving the tree a bold and refined appearance. Then, in autumn, the leaves shift again into warm reds and oranges before falling naturally for winter dormancy. This constant change defines cherry blossom bonsai and makes them especially rewarding to grow.
An Ideal Outdoor Bonsai for Beginners
This cherry blossom bonsai thrives outdoors and prefers a bright, sunny position. Because it is deciduous, it will lose its leaves in winter. This process is completely normal and supports healthy long-term growth. In spring, fresh buds, new leaves, and flowers return, often stronger each year.
Moreover, its hardy nature and forgiving growth habit make it ideal for beginners. New growers can therefore learn pruning, feeding, and seasonal care with confidence while enjoying clear, visible progress throughout the year.
What’s Included in the Starter Kit
This birthday present cherry blossom arrives planted in a navy blue ceramic bonsai pot. The pot provides ample space for healthy roots and steady development. In addition, a dark-coloured drip tray protects surfaces after watering.
The starter kit also includes bonsai pruning scissors for shaping and bonsai fertiliser to encourage strong seasonal growth. Alongside this, the Bonsai Direct care handbook offers clear, practical guidance. Finally, a wooden “Happy Birthday” hanging tag with balloons and bunting completes the gift, so it is ready to give straight away.
Important Seasonal Notes
Please note: This is an outdoor, deciduous bonsai. During winter, the tree will naturally shed its leaves as part of its dormancy cycle. This is not a fault. Instead, it is essential for healthy regrowth. New leaves and flowers will return in spring. For best results, keep this cherry blossom bonsai outdoors all year round.

We offer free next working day delivery to most UK addresses. Alternatively, you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout.
