12-Year-Old Serissa foetida – Beautifully Styled “Tree of a Thousand Stars” Christmas Bonsai Starter Kit
A Captivating Christmas Serissa Bonsai Filled with Festive Magic
Celebrate the season with this enchanting Christmas Serissa bonsai, also known as the Tree of a Thousand Stars. This elegant indoor species, Serissa foetida, displays creamy textured bark, fine natural movement and a canopy of fresh, pointed green leaves. During the warmer months, the tree bursts into small, star-shaped white flowers, giving it its charming and poetic name.
Please note: This is a generic photograph. Your bonsai will be very similar in quality, age and style, but each tree has its own character.
At 12 years old, this Serissa has developed graceful maturity and artistic structure. The trunk shows beautiful cream-toned bark with natural age marks, and the branching radiates neatly from the centre, creating a balanced and peaceful silhouette. Small, dainty and full of personality, this is one of the most delightful choices for a festive indoor display.
