Aesthetic features


This impressive bonsai of Acer campestre is distinguished by:

Spectacular nebari, wide and well-distributed, which provides great visual stability and a strong stage presence.

In spring, the foliage takes on a fresh and luminous green.

In autumn, the bonsai offers a wonderful chromatic spectacle, taking on shades from golden yellow to soft orange.
