The large outdoor bonsai differ from the typical conception of bonsai as a miniature tree, for its final purpose, that is for garden planting, as well as for the big size, hence the name "macro-bonsai". Japan is the only supplier of these plants, which are grown in such sculptural forms following a centuries-old tradition.
Individually priced bonsai on our webiste are unique one-of-a-kind specimens. They are up to 40 years old and are truly stunning.
