Fukien Tea Bonsai (Carmona Retusa)
Hailing from the Fujian province of China, the Fukien Tea Bonsai is a classic choice for indoor enthusiasts who appreciate constant, delicate beauty. This elegant evergreen is beloved for its "triple-interest" features: dark foliage, snowy flowers, and colorful berries.
Captivating Features
Year-Round Blooms: Unlike many trees that follow a strict schedule, the Fukien Tea can produce its charming, small white flowers at almost any time of the year, bringing a sense of spring to your home regardless of the season.
Vibrant Berries: Once the blooms fade, they transform into tiny crimson berries that deepen in color as they age, providing a stunning contrast against the foliage.
Lustrous Foliage: The tree is characterized by small, deep-green leaves with a slightly waxy texture. Their compact size makes them perfectly scaled for the art of bonsai.
Classic "Old-Growth" Look: The bark of the Fukien Tea develops a wonderful texture and character early on, giving even younger trees a sophisticated, ancient appearance.
