Premium 17-Year Serissa Bonsai – “Tree of a Thousand Stars”
This beautiful 17-year-old Serissa bonsai tree stands 36cm in height with a canopy spread of around 35cm. You will receive this exact individually photographed tree. It shows gentle movement, refined styling and wonderful maturity. Moreover, the twisting trunk and exposed roots give the composition a sculptural, expressive feel.
Trunk & Artistic Movement
The trunk rises with graceful twists and shows superb textured bark. It feels old, natural and full of character. Additionally, the exposed roots anchor the design and flow into the trunk with great harmony. The whole composition conveys balance and strength while still feeling light and elegant.
Foliage & Flowers
The canopy is dense and compact, with tiny glossy leaves that suit the tree’s proportions beautifully. I can clearly see fresh seasonal growth and a delicate white bloom near the upper branches. These small star-like flowers give the Serissa foetida its name, “Tree of a Thousand Stars”. They add brightness and charm whenever they appear.
Ceramic Pot
The tree sits in a deep, rich blue oval ceramic pot with a matching drip tray. The glossy glaze contrasts beautifully with the textured bark and enhances the tree’s natural colour tones. Furthermore, the oval shape provides a calm, modern frame for the sweeping trunk line.
