The Fukien Tea Tree – Glossy Leaves and Delicate Flowers
The Fukien Tea Tree, also known as the Carmona microphylla, is a popular indoor bonsai species. It produces small, dark green leaves with a glossy texture that creates a neat, refined canopy. During warmer months, the tree develops delicate white star-shaped flowers, which stand out beautifully against the deep green foliage.
At 12 years old, the tree shows developed trunk character and well-established branching. With regular pruning, you can maintain a compact canopy and refine the shape over time. Each bonsai grows individually, so natural variation in trunk movement and flowering gives every tree its own unique character.
