About this bonsai
Despite its common name, Podocarpus is not a true pine. Its attractive foliage can be refined gradually through light pruning. The precise species has not yet been confirmed.
Tree details
- Common name: Buddhist Pine
- Botanical name: Podocarpus sp. (species to be confirmed)
- Style: Shaped
- Pot: Approximately 30cm external width; blue glazed rectangular bonsai pot
- Position: Bright and sheltered, with frost-free winter protection
- Foliage: Evergreen

Position & light
Give plenty of natural light and good airflow. A sheltered outdoor position suits warm weather; a bright conservatory can also work. Move between environments gradually and avoid a dim room or direct radiator heat.
Watering
Water thoroughly when the upper soil layer begins to dry, allowing excess water to escape. Avoid keeping the root ball constantly soggy.
Feeding & pruning
Apply a suitable bonsai feed during active growth. Shorten new shoots to maintain the shape, leaving healthy foliage. Plan major styling and repotting around the condition and growth of the tree.
Winter care
Use a bright, cool, frost-free position while the precise species and hardiness are unconfirmed. Check that any greenhouse or cold frame actually stays frost-free; protect from cold, drying winds.

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.
