Extra Large 18-Year-Old Neagari Serissa Bonsai – 64cm | Black Friday Bargain
An Exceptional Mature Serissa with Magnificent Exposed Roots
This magnificent 18-year-old Serissa bonsai (Serissa foetida) is an outstanding example of traditional Neagari bonsai styling. Standing an impressive 64cm tall, this extra-large specimen has extraordinary exposed roots, a powerful mature trunk and a beautiful canopy of naturally miniature green leaves.
The root formation is particularly spectacular. Strong, characterful roots rise dramatically above the soil before merging into the trunk, creating a wonderful sense of age, strength and natural beauty. Meanwhile, the beautifully textured cream-coloured bark enhances the tree’s mature appearance.
Despite its powerful structure, this exceptional Serissa retains a lovely sense of elegance. Its delicate foliage softens the dramatic roots, while the occasional tiny white star-shaped flowers add another dimension of beauty.
Photographed at the end of October 2026, this remarkable specimen was still displaying a few of its charming white flowers.
Presented in a traditional blue ceramic bonsai pot, this magnificent flowering bonsai is available as a special Black Friday bargain.
Neagari Style – Awesome Exposed Roots with Extraordinary Character
The most remarkable feature of this mature Serissa is undoubtedly its spectacular Neagari root formation.
Neagari is the Japanese term for an exposed-root bonsai style, where the roots grow above the soil and become an integral part of the tree’s artistic structure.
Rather than remaining hidden beneath the compost, these raised roots create an intricate, sculptural foundation. Over time, they develop texture, character and strength, giving the impression of a tree that has endured many years in a challenging natural environment.
In this particular specimen, the roots are especially impressive. Their powerful forms rise confidently from the soil, creating fascinating shapes and spaces before joining the main trunk.
The natural movement of the roots draws the eye upwards through the tree, adding depth and interest to the entire composition.
Furthermore, the contrast between the substantial root structure and the delicate canopy creates a wonderful balance between strength and refinement.
This is a bonsai that deserves to be admired from every angle, with each root contributing to its remarkable personality.
A Powerful Mature Trunk with Beautiful Natural Taper
Above the magnificent exposed roots rises a substantial, mature trunk with wonderful natural character.
Its beautifully developed structure creates a strong visual connection between the raised roots and the upper branches. Meanwhile, the attractive taper helps maintain the proportions of a much larger tree in miniature.
Trunk taper refers to the gradual reduction in thickness from the broad lower trunk towards the finer upper branches. This is an important characteristic of quality bonsai because it creates a convincing impression of age and maturity.
The trunk’s natural contours and textured bark add further interest, while the branching supports a beautifully balanced canopy.
Together, these features give this 18-year-old Serissa a wonderful sense of strength, elegance and artistic refinement.
Beautiful Cream-Coloured Bark & Natural Texture
The bark is another particularly attractive feature of this mature Serissa.
Its pale cream colouring displays subtle variations in tone and natural surface texture, highlighting the contours of the trunk and exposed roots.
The gentle contrast between the lighter bark and darker areas of the root structure creates additional depth, emphasising the tree’s sculptural appearance.
Furthermore, the cream-coloured bark looks especially beautiful against the traditional blue ceramic pot and fresh green foliage.
As the tree continues to mature, its natural textures and markings will contribute further to its individual character.
Delicate White Star-Shaped Flowers – Still Blooming in October 2026
Serissa is affectionately known as the Tree of a Thousand Stars, a name inspired by its delightful miniature white flowers.
Each flower has a delicate star-like shape, appearing as a tiny white blossom among the green foliage. When flowering freely, the canopy can become scattered with these beautiful little stars.
Remarkably, this particular specimen was still displaying a few flowers at the end of October 2026.
Although the main flowering season is generally during the warmer months, healthy Serissa bonsai can continue producing occasional blooms when growing conditions remain favourable.
The tiny white flowers create a beautiful contrast against the mature trunk and dramatic exposed roots, bringing softness and delicacy to the powerful composition.
Even when not flowering, the naturally miniature leaves and remarkable root structure ensure this Serissa remains attractive throughout the year.
Naturally Small Leaves & An Elegant Mature Canopy
The Serissa is particularly well suited to bonsai cultivation because of its naturally small leaves and delicate branching.
Its miniature green foliage creates a fine, attractive texture, allowing the tree to retain the convincing proportions of a much larger mature specimen.
The canopy provides a beautiful contrast to the substantial exposed roots and characterful trunk. Furthermore, the fine foliage allows the tiny white flowers to remain visible when the tree is in bloom.
Regular light pruning will help maintain the tree’s attractive shape while encouraging fresh growth and continued branching.
The combination of powerful roots, mature trunk structure and delicate foliage makes this a particularly rewarding bonsai to admire.
Traditional Blue Ceramic Bonsai Pot
This magnificent 64cm tall Serissa is presented in a traditional blue ceramic bonsai pot, beautifully complementing its impressive size and character.
The rich blue glaze contrasts wonderfully with the pale cream bark and fresh green foliage. Moreover, the traditional styling provides an attractive foundation for the dramatic Neagari root structure.
Together, the pot and tree create a harmonious composition that celebrates the beauty of traditional bonsai artistry.
Serissa Bonsai Care – A Warm Room with Good Natural Daylight
Serissa is a rewarding indoor bonsai species that appreciates warmth, bright daylight and a consistent growing environment.
Position your bonsai in a warm room with plenty of natural light, ideally near a bright window. However, avoid cold draughts, direct heat from radiators and sudden changes in temperature.
Serissa particularly dislikes frequent changes of position or growing conditions. Therefore, a stable environment will help maintain healthy foliage and encourage flowering.
Keep the compost consistently damp, allowing only the very top to feel slightly dry before watering again. Nevertheless, avoid leaving the roots waterlogged.
Occasional misting can provide additional humidity, particularly during winter when central heating is in use.
Regular light pruning will help maintain the attractive canopy and encourage fresh growth.
With consistent care, this magnificent mature Serissa can provide many years of enjoyment.
Symbolising Well-Being, Good Luck & Hope
The Serissa is traditionally associated with well-being, good luck and hope, making it a particularly meaningful bonsai to own or give as a gift.
Its delicate white flowers evoke optimism and natural beauty, while the powerful exposed roots suggest resilience, stability and strength.
Consequently, this magnificent 18-year-old specimen makes a thoughtful gift for an important milestone, special celebration or new beginning.
It is equally appealing to bonsai enthusiasts who appreciate mature trees with distinctive root formations and exceptional natural character.
