Unique Indoor Fruiting Sweet Plum | Sageretia Bonsai Tree – Perfect Bonsai for Beginners

Sageretia Bonsai Tree | Sweet Plum | Rich Foliage & Artistic Shape

You will receive this exact Sageretia bonsai tree (Sweet Plum). A beautifully balanced indoor tree with wonderful shaping and vibrant foliage. Expertly grown and styled by the professionals at Bonsai Direct, this premium specimen features an elegant curve at the base of the trunk that rises into a strong, informal upright flow. The textured, red-toned bark contrasts perfectly with the glossy leaves, whose new growth flushes with hints of bronze and red before maturing to rich green. The roots are artistic and add character.

Distinctive Styling and Colour

Our expert growers shaped this bonsai to achieve both harmony and strength. The trunk’s gentle movement and the fine branching create a well-proportioned canopy that feels natural yet refined. Its fresh foliage displays subtle seasonal changes. From warm red-tinged shoots in spring to deep emerald greens in summer. In time, mature trees produce tiny white blossoms followed by attractive purple fruits, adding texture and charm throughout the year. The gnarly bark indicates age and adds character.

Elegant Presentation

We have paired this Sweet Plum bonsai with an apple green ceramic pot and a matching drip tray. The pot’s warm metallic tone complements the tree’s bark and foliage, creating a striking contrast that enhances its visual appeal. The matching tray provides practical function by catching excess water while completing the sophisticated presentation — ready to display in any room. A little pink rock is nestled beneath the branches; a Chinese figurine perches atop.
