Purple Cherry Blossom (Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’)
A Striking Cherry Blossom Bonsai with Deep Purple Foliage
This is a beautiful Purple Cherry Blossom bonsai, also known as the Black Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’). Our growers cultivate these trees to develop their distinctive zigzag branching and balanced structure, which gives the bonsai natural movement and character.
The tree arrives planted in a classic navy blue glazed ceramic bonsai pot, creating a strong contrast with the rich purple foliage. Because each bonsai is individually grown, natural variation should be expected in the trunk shape and branching.
This Purple Cherry Blossom is an excellent choice for beginners who want a colourful outdoor bonsai with strong seasonal interest.
Seasonal Beauty from the Purple Cherry Blossom
This species produce beautiful pale pink blossoms in spring. The flowers open from deeper pink buds and create a delicate display across the branches.
As the season progresses, the foliage develops into rich dark purple leaves that give the tree its distinctive appearance. During autumn, the leaves change again, turning vibrant shades of red and orange. Small ornamental fruits may also appear as the tree matures.
Because this is a deciduous bonsai, the leaves fall in winter and reveal the attractive zigzag branch structure.
