Exceptional Rosemary Bonsai – Massive 7 cm Twisted Trunk – Mediterranean Yamadori Style – 30 cm

⸻


Offered for auction is an exceptional Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) bonsai featuring a powerful, mature trunk and dramatic natural movement reminiscent of ancient Mediterranean coastal vegetation.

This specimen immediately stands out for its impressive 7 cm trunk diameter, displaying aged bark texture, deep fissures, and natural twisting movement. The lower section shows beautiful curvature and taper, creating a dynamic S-shaped structure full of character.

The tree reaches an overall height of approximately 30 cm, with a balanced canopy width of 33 cm, offering strong proportions relative to the trunk thickness.

The foliage is healthy and vigorous, composed of narrow aromatic needle-like leaves typical of Mediterranean rosemary. The branching structure is already well defined and provides excellent potential for further refinement into a compact and highly expressive bonsai.

Currently planted in a cultivation container measuring 17 x 19 x 19 cm, allowing for continued root development and artistic evolution.
