Ligustrum is a species able to easily adapt to pot cultivation and is very versatile from an aesthetic point of view: you can easily shape it and obtain the desired movement in a short time. The one in the photo has a trunk with a very interesting design, don't you think?

This specimen of Pinus pentaphylla stands out for the harmonious movement of its powerful trunk, the well-developed nebari which conveys the idea of the age and power of the plant and its small bright green needles which stand out on its well-designed layers. This is one of the most chosen species in bonsai cultivation not only because it has compact growth and a well-defined crown, but also for its longevity and resistance. Have you ever tried to grow it?

Questo esemplare di Pinus pentaphylla si distingue per il movimento armonioso del suo possente tronco, il nebari ben sviluppato che trasmette l'idea di vetustà e potenza della pianta e i suoi aghi piccoli verde brillante che si stagliano sui suoi palchi ben disegnati. Questa è una delle specie più scelte nella coltivazione bonsai non solo perché ha una crescita compatta e una chioma ben definita, ma anche per la sua longevità e resistenza. Avete mai provato a coltivarla?

Camellia japonica is among the most appreciated species in Japan for its seductive simplicity and enchanting late winter flowering. The buds hide among the younger branches and paint the shiny dark green leaves, typical of this species, with a bright pink color 🌸

The Chaenomeles chojubai is a very resistant species and, when it flowers with still bare branches, it is truly enchanting. Note the beautiful color contrast between the dark bark and the light pinkish-red petals. A miniature tree that anticipates spring!

The Prunus mume, or Japanese apricot, is characterized by its early flowering, which can also occur in the coldest months of the year, just like in this case. Of this specimen you can notice the large nebari which gives grandeur to the plant. Its wonderful pure white flowers remind us that spring is not that far away!

We have almost finished the organization of the pots, our exhibition area is full of many new products!
Are you looking for a bonsai pot? Below you have some advice to guide you in your choice, if you would like to learn more about it, read the dedicated article on our blog here 👉 https://www.crespibonsai.com/it/blog/28_i-vasi.html

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BONSAI POT, GUIDELINES:
1. The aim is to create balance and harmony between plant and pot;
2. Consider: the height of the bonsai, the length of the branches, the thickness of the trunk, the color of the flowers, fruits and bark;
3. Keep in mind the season of the year in which the tree is at its best;
4. First of all, the health of the bonsai: choose the appropriate pot depth based on the species;
5. The "character" of the tree is decisive in the choice: is it strong and powerful or delicate and gentle?

In this specimen of Acer buergerianum cultivated in forest style, the bare trunks intertwine in a harmonious composition that imitates that of a real natural landscape, in which you can even see a path. Each trunk tells its own story, and if you get a little closer you will seem to be immersed in a real landscape. Bonsai art allows us to feel like we are in a forest even on our balcony or garden, isn't it really fascinating?

👉 https://www.crespibonsai.com/it/137-bonsai-da-esterno?specie=acer-buergerianum

In questo esemplare di Acer buergerianum coltivato a bosco, i tronchi spogli si intrecciano in una composizione armoniosa che imita la quella di un vero e proprio paesaggio naturale, in cui si riesce a scorgere anche un sentiero. Ogni tronco racconta la propria storia, e se ci si avvicina un po' di più sembrerà di essere immersi/e in un vero e proprio paesaggio. L'arte bonsai ci permette di sentirci in un bosco anche sul nostro balcone o giardino, non è davvero affascinante?

The Podocarpus is also called Buddhist Pine due to the monks' custom of decorating the temples' gardens with specimens of this species. Very important in feng shui, it has flaking bark and needle-like leaves of great elegance.

Il Podocarpus viene anche chiamato Pino dei Buddhisti per via dell’usanza dei monaci di adornare i giardini dei templi con esemplari di questa specie. Molto importante nel feng shui, portatore di buona fortuna, possiede corteccia sfogliante e foglie aghiformi di grande eleganza.
