A pre-bonsai is a small tree with specific features, that with a little work and some care can become a beautiful bonsai. The pre-bonsais are grown from seedlings to get a good nebari, which is the base of the trunk, fine roots near the trunk, and several design possibilities. This pre-bonsai line will allow you to model and design the bonsai in the style you want or that the tree indicates.

Prunus mahaleb . Prebonsai 22 years. Mahaleb cherry or St Lucie cherry in growing box. 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: Outside in a Mediterranean climate the whole year and exposed to the sun but better place it in half-shadow during summer.

Watering: Abundant in summer and moderate in winter.

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

Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 50 x 40 x 46
