9-Year-Old Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata) Bonsai Tree – Elegant Patio Feature
This 9-year-old Japanese Holly bonsai tree (Ilex crenata) stands at 33 cm in height and is a wonderful example of proportion, balance, and flow. The trunk shows gentle natural movement, while the branching is beautifully arranged to create a light, refined structure. Right now, in September 2025, this little gem is even more special—tiny flower buds are appearing, a sure sign of the seasonal beauty this species brings.
Potted in a cheerful blue ceramic bonsai pot, it’s the perfect size to appreciate up close, whether displayed on a small patio, balcony, or as a striking table feature outdoors. Its compact scale allows every curve of the trunk and every cluster of glossy green leaves to be enjoyed in detail.
About the Species
Known botanically as Ilex crenata, the Japanese Holly is a much-loved bonsai species native to Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China. This evergreen tree holds its tiny, glossy green leaves year-round, forming a dense, tidy canopy. In spring, it produces delicate white flowers, which later give way to dainty black berries, offering subtle yet charming seasonal interest.
Why This Bonsai is Special

Evergreen beauty: Keeps its deep green foliage all year round.
Seasonal delight: Flower buds in late summer and blossoms in spring.

A Living Piece of Art
The Japanese Holly bonsai tree is both elegant and hardy, making it a rewarding choice for growers of all levels. With regular pruning, it develops a refined branch structure and a canopy that looks increasingly natural over the years.
