The most exquisite large Red Oak bonsai – elegant and impressive with amazing canopy of beautifully shaped leaves. An extremely tall hardy bonsai for sale with scarlet leaves during autumn.
This exquisite Red Oak Bonsai (Quercus rubra) is an 11-year-old marvel, standing gracefully at 54 cm tall. Celebrated for its majestic presence and robust structure, the Red Oak is a beloved choice. This particular bonsai is potted in a traditional blue glazed ceramic pot with mottled finish, which enhances its natural beauty and adds a touch of sophistication to its overall appearance.
The Nebari (root flare) of this bonsai is its top feature. Thick roots blend to flare a very strong base to the trunk. Over time the upper branches, which need to be developed, will thicken to give better proportions. This is part of the joy of growing. The basic structure is excellent and this bonsai now needs some time to thicken the upper trunk and develop the ramification of the branch structure. A great bonsai for someone who wants to ‘grow’ the bonsai on and develop it. In the meantime it is rewarding and enjoyable to view with its beautiful leaves and lovely rich colours.
Features of the Red Oak (Quercus rubra): The Red Oak is distinguished by its deeply lobed leaves, which transform into vibrant shades of red and orange in autumn, creating a spectacular seasonal display. When young, its bark is smooth and grey, gradually developing a rugged texture with age, adding to the tree’s character and visual appeal. The tree’s strong branches extend horizontally, forming a broad and balanced canopy that is both elegant and commanding. The size of this bonsai alone provides a wonderful feature in your garden. A very hard variety which is happy outside all year round. In mid-winter position somewhere sheltered.
