Neagari Serissa Bonsai Tree – 12 Years Old (Serissa foetida) – 40cm Tall
This distinctive neagari Serissa bonsai tree stands at an impressive 40cm in height, offering a more elongated and elegant presence than typical indoor specimens. Known as the “Tree of a Thousand Stars,” Serissa foetida is admired for its fine detail, graceful structure, and occasional display of delicate white blooms.
The Beauty of Neagari Style
In bonsai, the neagari style highlights exposed roots that rise above the soil before anchoring into the pot. Over time, this technique creates the illusion of a tree shaped by nature, often seen clinging to rocky or eroded landscapes.
In this example, the exposed roots form a striking base that flows seamlessly into the trunk. This connection between root and trunk gives the tree a sense of age and quiet strength, while also making it visually unique.
Tall, Elegant Structure with Layered Detail
At 40cm tall, this neagari Serissa bonsai tree has a more vertical, refined silhouette. The trunk flows cleanly upward with natural movement, leading into a carefully arranged canopy of layered foliage pads.
Each layer has been shaped to create depth and balance, allowing the structure of the tree to remain visible while maintaining a soft, full appearance. As a result, the bonsai feels open, airy, and well-proportioned.
