The Beauty of Uro in Bonsai Trees – A Mark of Age and Character
A Uro is a naturally occurring or intentionally created hollow or scar in the trunk of a bonsai tree, often where a branch has died back or been removed. Far from being a flaw, a well-formed Uro is a highly desirable feature, enhancing the tree’s aged and weathered appearance. It mimics the way ancient trees in nature endure the elements, decay, and regeneration.
The beauty of a Uro lies in its ability to add depth, contrast, and texture to the trunk. These hollows create a stunning interplay between smooth, living wood and rugged, timeworn bark, making the tree look majestic and full of history. In some species, an Uro can also accentuate the movement of the trunk, guiding the viewer’s eye along its graceful twists and turns.
When carefully shaped and maintained, a Uro becomes a focal point, elevating the artistry of the bonsai while reinforcing the illusion of an ancient, miniature tree thriving against time itself.
