Prunus mahaleb. Bonsai 13 years. Mahaleb cherry or St Lucie cherry. These are trees that, by nature, must be placed outside, ideal for balconies, gardens and terraces. It is a wild plant, very resistant to cold, that grows in much of Europe and North Africa. Deciduous tree valued for its spectacular white floration. In addition, it is necessary to highlight the yellow colour its leaves turned to in autumn, before falling. One of the most colourful moments of this species, almost comparable to the beautiful red tones of the maples.

Location: The seeds have a fragrant smell and have a taste comparable to bitter almonds with cherry notes.

Watering: Abundant in summer and moderate in winter.

Curiosities: Outside in a Mediterranean climate the whole year and exposed to the sun but better place it in half-shadow during summer.

Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 29 x 27 x 39

Note: The shape and measurements of the bonsais are approximate. The pot is included on the dimensions. The colour and shape of the pot may vary from that of the photo. A bonsai is a living being, so the vegetative state of the plant changes according to the season. The images that appear are non-binding illustrative pictures.
