Description

Carmona Bonsai – 12-Year-Old Flowering Specimen

A Mature Flowering Fukien Tea Tree Bonsai with Elegant Structure

This 12-year-old Carmona bonsai offers refined structure and seasonal flowering in one established tree. Also known as the Fukien Tea Tree (Carmona microphylla), it features a graceful S-shaped trunk with balanced branch placement. The movement in the trunk creates flow, while the dense canopy gives the tree visual weight and maturity. We pot it in a blue glazed ceramic pot, which complements the deep green foliage and completes the presentation. A dark-coloured drip tray supports practical watering and surface protection.

The Carmona – Glossy Leaves and White Summer Flowers

The Tea Tree bonsai is prized for its small, glossy dark green leaves and compact growth habit. In warm indoor conditions, it produces delicate white flowers during summer. These blooms contrast clearly against the rich foliage and add seasonal interest without overwhelming the structure.

At 12 years old, the trunk shows developed character and taper. The S-shaped form enhances its overall balance and gives the tree a confident silhouette. Each bonsai grows individually, so natural variation in trunk line and flowering reflects its unique development.

What’s Included

You will receive the 12-year-old Carmona bonsai potted in the blue glazed ceramic pot. We include a dark-coloured drip tray to assist with watering and maintain a clean display area.

A bottle of bonsai feed supports steady, healthy growth throughout the growing season. In addition, a pair of pruning scissors allows you to maintain the canopy and refine the tree’s shape with precision.

Symbolism and Lasting Appeal

The Fukien Tea Tree symbolises courage, heart, love & devotion. Its flowering habit reflects renewal and careful attention, while its structured trunk represents resilience. With ample care, this bonsai continues to refine its form and reward consistent care year after year.
