Flowering Purple Trees

Brussel's Bonsai   -in Feature Gensing Grafted Ficus In pot (with soil)

There are over 600 species of Ficus, most of them tropical and evergreen. Ficus produces a unique "fruit" which is actually an inverted flower. Ficus is one of the most loved bonsai for many reasons. Ficus "Ginseng" varieties have fat trunks, with substantial exposed roots, giving the tree a very exotic and tropical feel. Gensing Grafted Ficus trees embody strength, with grafted branches displaying full clusters of compact foliage and glossy, oval leaves. It is an excellent tree for beginners, as most species of Ficus are fast growers, tolerant of most any soil and light conditions, make fine indoor bonsai, and perhaps most importantly, are remarkably forgiving of those just learning bonsai watering techniques. Each live plant is shipped with the Phytosanitary Certificate as required by the USDA.

Brussel's Bonsai   -in Feature Dwarf Hawaiian Umbrella Tree on Double Rock In pot (with soil)

Native to subtropical regions, this small robust plant is often cultivated as a rock bonsai because it develops mangrove like roots. Glossy green leaves are delicately divided and upright umbels produce orange-red to black berries. The leaves are miniature and shaped like umbrellas, which together, form a beautiful, green, and dense canopy. The trunk is relatively thin and does not branch out into a crown as some other tropical plants do and prolific root growth is interesting and very attractive. The Hawaiian Umbrella Tree comes in a dwarf version that makes a beautiful bonsai. In fact, this particular Bonsai tree is probably one of the easiest to grow and maintain, making it perfect for beginners. Each live plant is shipped with the Phytosanitary Certificate as required by the USDA.
