A prebonsai is a small tree with specific features, that with a little work and some care can become a beautiful bonsai. The prebonsai 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 prebonsai line will allow you to model and design the bonsai in the style you want or that the tree indicates.

Curiosities: The Ginkgo is a very primitive tree. Its origins are in the Mesozoic as fossils demonstrate. The survival of this species is due to the Buddhist monks who planted Ginkgos around their monasteries in the belief that they protect against fires, considering them sacred trees. Ginkgos are dioic trees which means that there are female and male trees. The female ones produce a false fruit because it’s an ovule which, if there is no male tree nearby, remains unfertilized. In street plantations the male ones are preferred because the ovules that fall to the ground ferment and produce a nauseating odour. The edible seed, uncooked or toasted, has a similar flavour as the chestnut.
Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 34 x 25 x 44 cm.
Note: The shape and measurements of the prebonsais are approximate. The pot is included on the dimensions. The colour and shape of the pot may vary from that of the photo. A prebonsai 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.
