Sweet Plum Bonsai - Fruiting Tree – approx. 12 years oldYou’re bidding on the exact bonsai in the pictures. This tree is approx. 12 years old. Well grown in 5 x 4 x 2 inches oval ceramic pot. Height: approx. 9 inches (measure from soil line)Width: approx. 6 inches Trunk:approx. .35-.5 inch diameter (top to bottom)Will ship with pot as shown!!! Care Information:
Sweet Plum or Sageretia thea is a bonsai subject with considerable visual appeal
and a long history in the art. A tropical evergreen tree with naturally
small leaves of less than 3/4 inch (2 cm) that reduce even smaller.The
leaves are lightly veined, green leaves that are almost bronze when
they emerge. Growth habit is stiff and angular with truely prolific
backbudding. The Sageretia’s bark sheds while the tree is quite young
and the trunk becomes multi-colored with age. Small white flowers in
spring give way to small black fruits (3-5 mm) during the summer and
into autumn.
Lighting: Full morning sun, shade in the
afternoon/evening. Can take full sun all day but watering requirements
increase dramatically. Beware of leaf burn when moving from shade to
full sun.
Temperature: The Sageretia is a subtropical tree
and indoors needs a cool period coupled with lowered illumination. The
tree should be held at 55-60 F for 6-8 weeks around the winter
solstice. Once nighttime temperatures are consistently over 55 degrees,
move tree outside.
In warmer climes, the Sageretia can be grown outdoors all year
round. The Sageretia loses leaves at temperatures below 55F. It loses
minor branches if the temperature dips below 25F. Below 25F the tree
will experience major dieback, but can recover (the tree buds easily
from old wood, new wood, roots) Don’t try growing outdoors unless
you’re in Zone 8 or higher.
Watering: This tree enjoys slightly moist soil, but
will wilt and die if allowed to dry out completely. Wilting can be
recovered from only by a very healthy tree. Check mositure level
everyday with chopstick or bamboo skewer.
Feeding: Feed every 2 weeks in spring/summertime
with Miracid. Slow feeding to once monthly in late autumn/winter. Alter
feeding schedule to current light levels not temperature.
Pruning and wiring: Usually only trained via the
clip and growth method. The angular growth and extravagant back-budding
make shaping easy. The tree supports all classical stylings easily.
Weekly pinching of new growth is required to maintain completed form.
Propagation: From cuttings or seeds. Rooting
hormone is not needed for cutting, simply put the cutting into a glass
of water for 2-4 weeks. Seeds do not require a vernalization period and
can be germinated during any season.
Repotting: Repot when fully root bound only.
Typically, root pruning should be confined to 30% of root mass. Soil
mixture must reflect moisture requirements, a 1:1:1:1 blend of
peat/turface/pumice/coca shell gives a good blend of water retention
and drainage.
