Fukien Tea Tree (Carmona Retusa) Bonsai Tree | Broom | In 16cm Pot | Perfect Gift
Fukien Tea Bonsai in Ocean-Glazed Oval Pot
A Living Work of Art for the Discerning Collector or Gift-Giver
This refined Carmona retusa, commonly known as the Fukien Tea Tree, is a classic among tropical bonsai, prized for its glossy foliage, gentle curves, and the subtle charm of its occasional tiny white blooms. With its well-balanced trunk and naturally compact canopy, this tree offers timeless appeal — equally suitable as a thoughtful gift or an addition to a curated collection.
Presented in a high-fired ceramic oval pot, finished in a striking ocean-blue glaze, the tree is grounded in visual harmony. The pot’s subtle variations in tone evoke waves and sky, making it the ideal vessel to highlight the Fukien Tea’s vibrant green leaves and textured bark. Its flared rim and footed base enhance airflow while offering elegant elevation on any surface.
Nestled at the tree’s base is a vertical accent stone, lending the composition a naturalistic, landscape-inspired touch. The soil is intentionally minimalist, leaving the surface raw and natural, a stylistic choice that emphasizes the tree’s structure and organic presence. The substrate supports proper drainage and root aeration — a necessity for long-term bonsai health.
Cultivated with care and styled for visual balance, this Fukien Tea bonsai is perfect for those who appreciate depth, longevity, and meaning in their gifts or living décor.

Please note:
Trees
- Image shown is of the actual tree you will receive unless stated otherwise in the actual product's description
- The height given is from the base of the pot to the top of the tree.
- The tree received may be slightly different from the picture. Whilst we try to keep the photos of our trees as up to date as possible, these are live plants and, as such, will continue to grow and change slightly in between the times we take the photos.
Pots
- Some of our Bonsai pots are bought in bulk and unfortunately it's impossible to photograph each single item so the photograph used is taken from one random item of each collection we sell. In 99% of cases this means that any differences won't even be noticeable, however, if you have seen a particular image of a pot that has a certain streak of paint in a certain place, bear in mind that the pot you receive may not be 100% identical to this.
