Cherry Blossom Bonsai (Prunus incisa ‘Kojo-no-mai’) – A Beautiful Flowering Cherry Blossom Christmas Tree Gift
A Traditional and Elegant Cherry Blossom Christmas Tree
Celebrate the festive season with the timeless beauty of a cherry blossom Christmas tree in miniature bonsai form. This flowering Prunus incisa ‘Kojo-no-mai’ is admired for its delicate pink and white spring blossoms, autumn fruiting display, and refined zigzag branch structure. Known as the “Flight of the Butterfly Bonsai,” this elegant outdoor species brings Japanese tradition, symbolism, and year-round interest to any garden.
Please note: This is a generic photograph. The bonsai you receive will be very similar in style, quality, and character, but not identical.
This hardy outdoor bonsai thrives in full sun and natural weather conditions, making it ideal for beginners. It is fully deciduous and will rest during winter, then burst into blossom in early spring with its signature pink-white flowers. Through summer, lush green leaves appear, followed by cherries and vibrant autumn colours. Even in winter dormancy, its architectural zigzag silhouette remains striking and beautiful.
A Festive Gift with Meaning
To give this cherry blossom Christmas tree a festive touch, we include a charming “Merry Christmas” wooden tag featuring a pretty robin design. You can also add an optional drip tray (medium size) to complete the display.
Cherry Blossom trees, or “Sakura,” symbolise renewal, hope, prosperity, and the beautiful fleeting nature of life. These deep cultural meanings make this bonsai a thoughtful and heartfelt Christmas gift.
