Description from the seller

This Mediterranean olive bonsai stands out with its powerful, mature trunk-wide at the base with beutifully aged bark texture and natural movement. The tree features a striking deadwood section (shari) at the apex, adding visual drama and evoking the timeless resilience of ancient wild trees, embracing the wabi-sabi aestetic of beauty in imperfection and age.
The canopy is developing nicely, with multiple strong shoots bearing small, well-proportioned leaves- ideal for future refinement. The natural, irregular branch layout reflects the image of an old olive tree shaped by wind and sun on rocky hillside, radiating both strength and serenity.
This specimen is perfect for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a tree with a solid base and high potential for future refinement and exhibition.
The tree is healthy and actively growing. Prefers full sun and moderate watering. Repotting recommened in spring 2026 if root work or substrate renewal is desired.
Professional packing and insured shipping included.
Neagari (exposed roots) ,informal upright-naturalistic style with a striking nebari.
Grown in Greece, from local yamadori material.
Estimate age over 15 years.
Trunk height (without canopy) 15 cm , approximate canopy width 16-25 cm.
Shipping only within the EU.
No shipping to countries requiring customs clearance.
