Prunus cerasifera Nigra Bonsai – Purple Cherry Blossom Starter Kit
A Beautiful Prunus cerasifera Nigra Bonsai for Beginners
This Prunus cerasifera Nigra bonsai, often known as the Purple Cherry Blossom or Black Cherry Plum, is a striking outdoor bonsai with bold colour and graceful structure. Our growers cultivate these trees to develop their distinctive zigzag branching and balanced canopy, which gives the bonsai natural movement and character.
The tree arrives planted in a classic navy blue glazed ceramic bonsai pot that complements the rich purple foliage. As a result, the bonsai creates a strong visual feature in a garden, patio, or balcony setting.
Because each Prunus cerasifera Nigra bonsai is individually grown and shaped, slight variation in trunk movement and branching should be expected.
Seasonal Beauty from the Prunus cerasifera Nigra Bonsai
The Prunus cerasifera Nigra bonsai is admired for its dramatic foliage and beautiful seasonal change. In early spring, delicate pale pink flowers appear across the branches, opening from deeper pink buds.
At the same time, fresh bronze leaves begin to emerge. As the season progresses, the foliage deepens into rich blackish-purple tones that give this bonsai its distinctive appearance. Then, as autumn arrives, the leaves transform again into vibrant shades of red and orange.
Small ornamental fruits may also develop as the tree matures. During winter, the leaves fall and reveal the elegant twig structure that makes this bonsai so distinctive.
What’s Included
This Prunus cerasifera Nigra bonsai arrives planted in a navy blue glazed ceramic bonsai pot and is ready to grow outdoors.

Symbolism and Why a Purple Cherry Blossom Bonsai Makes a Special Gift
