AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Thyme (Thymus) Shohin Bonsai - Significant Trunk - Collector’s Item
Product Description
Up for sale is a stunning Thyme (Thymus) Shohin Bonsai, featuring exceptional trunk movement and a well-defined structure. This specimen perfectly blends the classical aesthetics of Japanese tradition with the fragrance and hardiness typical of Mediterranean species.
Key Features
• Trunk (Nebari and Tachiagari): The highlight of this specimen is the trunk, boasting a generous 5 cm diameter. The bark is rugged and fissured, showing true maturity, with highly evocative natural movement.
• Canopy: Very dense and well-distributed, with a width of 28 cm. The ramification is thick and responds perfectly to maintenance pruning.
• Pot: The tree is planted in a high-quality glazed bonsai pot (shaded ocean blue), measuring 15 x 10 x 6 cm, which beautifully contrasts the deep green foliage.
Cultivation and Maintenance Notes
Thyme is highly prized for its rusticity. It prefers sunny, well-ventilated locations. As a Shohin-sized tree, it requires careful watering: avoid waterlogging, but do not allow the root ball to dry out completely during hot months. This species produces small, highly decorative flowers.
Shipping and Packaging
I guarantee professional and secure packaging. The bonsai will be secured inside the box to prevent any movement of the pot, and the soil will be protected to maintain the necessary moisture during transit. Shipped via tracked express courier.
