Each of these incredible bonsai trees will enhance the beauty of your home or office.

Shefflera Bonsai

Shefflera Bonsai

Commonly called the umbrella plant, the schefflera has long, dark-green glossy leaves that drape over its slender stalks. Because of its ornamental foliage, this evergreen shrub lends itself to popular use as a decorative indoor plant. The Schefflera bonsai can be given as a business gift, a Father's Day gift, a "Thank You," or as a "Just Because" present. Arrives potted in a 4" diameter ceramic pot with decorative rocks. Plant stands approximately 9" tall.


Shogun Juniper Bonsai
Windswept Bonsai

Windswept Bonsai

Enjoy the ancient Japanese tradition of Bonsai cultivation with this venerable 3-year-old "windswept" juniper tree. Nurturing such a micro-environment over many years can be a wellspring of meditative pleasure; it is no wonder that appreciation of Bonsai has spread from Japan to the rest of the world. The Windswept Juniper arrives in an 8" traditional ceramic bonsai pot. Plant stands approximately 18" tall, comes with instructions and is pre-wired for easy styling.

Trees have been highly valued by humans since the beginning of time. In fact, the word "paradise" is derived from the Persian word "pardes," which translates to "a park planted with trees." Now a little piece of paradise can be yours when you grow your own Bonsai Forest with a variety of trees and undergrowth shrubs. This deluxe mix of bonsai contains Elm, Lilac, Pea Shrub, Beauty Bush, and Butterfly Bush. Complete your serene village with thoughtfully-placed boulders, a Buddha statue, and authentic woodland cover!
