Woodland-Style Fruiting Chinese Sweet Plum Indoor Bonsai Tree with Multi-Toned Canopy

Fruiting Sweet Plum Bonsai — Sageretia theezans with Orchard Charm

This beautiful fruiting sweet plum bonsai has all the charm of a miniature orchard tree. Styled with gentle, natural movement, it carries an inviting warmth that makes it instantly appealing. The exposed roots are truly phenomenal. They rise and weave above the soil like old orchard trees gripping the earth, giving the bonsai age, character, and a wonderfully grounded presence. Throughout summer, this tree produces tiny plum-like fruits — a delightful feature that brings colour and a sense of seasonal rhythm to your home.

As part of our Premium Range, this is the exact tree you will receive. It comes planted in a soft cream ceramic pot with a matching ceramic drip tray, chosen to complement the tree’s rounded canopy and warm bark tones. The pairing feels bright, fresh, and full of gentle personality — a lovely combination for both modern and traditional spaces.

An Ideal Bonsai for Beginners

The Chinese Sweet Plum is one of the most beginner-friendly bonsai varieties. It adapts well to indoor life, grows eagerly through the warmer months, and responds beautifully to shaping. The leaves are small and glossy, creating a tidy canopy with minimal effort. For those who want a rewarding tree with real character — and the joy of fruiting — this variety is a perfect match.

Easy Care Guide

• Light: Place in bright, indirect light. A sunny windowsill works well, but avoid strong afternoon sun in high summer.
• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist. Check daily, especially in warm weather, and water thoroughly once the top layer begins to dry.
• Feeding: Use a balanced bonsai fertiliser every week during the growing season. Follow the instructions on the bottle for best results.
• Pruning: Trim new shoots regularly to maintain the orchard-style form and encourage compact growth.
• Repotting: Repot every two years in early spring using free-draining bonsai soil.
• Note: It can spend time outdoors in summer but must be protected from frost.
