Bonsai Carmona microphyllaCarmona retusaEhretia microphylla, Fukien Tea Tree

The Fukien Tea Tree makes a most attractive Bonsai that it well suited to indoor conditions. Small, glossy leaves crown the trunk which becomes attractively gnarled with maturity. At any time throughout the year, a display of tiny white blooms may appear, followed by red berries which darken with age. Carmona microphylla is native to Asia and positively thrives in warm conditions. Supplied with a ceramic pot and saucer (colour may vary). Height and spread: 30cm (12").

Please note: These trees have been carefully trained to create perfect miniatures of their full size siblings. Although many of the species used are perfectly hardy in the UK, these tiny trees are more susceptible to winter damage, given their size and the small volume of soil surrounding their roots. Therefore they are best protected from frost and cold winter weather by moving them to a cool, bright spot in the home or greenhouse.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Please note: Some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you.
