Kojo-no-mai, also known as "Fragrant Maiden," is a captivating and delicate cultivar of the ornamental cherry tree, Prunus incisa. When cultivated as a bonsai, Kojo-no-mai embodies the essence of grace, elegance, and natural beauty in a miniature form.
The Kojo-no-mai bonsai is characterized by its slender, sinuous branches that twist and turn gracefully, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. The branches are adorned with clusters of small, pale pink to white blossoms in early spring, which emerge before the leaves, adding a charming touch of color to the bonsai's canopy. These blossoms exude a subtle, delicate fragrance, enhancing the sensory experience of observing this bonsai.
The leaves of the Kojo-no-mai bonsai are small, elliptical, and emerge in shades of bronze, turning to vibrant green as they mature. In autumn, they transform into brilliant hues of orange, red, and yellow, painting the bonsai with a fiery palette of colors before gracefully falling to the ground.
Carefully trained and pruned, the Kojo-no-mai bonsai maintains a compact and balanced form, with its branches elegantly arranged to showcase its natural beauty. Its trunk, though slender, displays subtle textures and patterns, adding depth and character to the bonsai's overall aesthetic.
When displayed, the Kojo-no-mai bonsai evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony, inviting contemplation and appreciation of nature's beauty in miniature form. Whether placed indoors or outdoors, this bonsai cultivar adds a touch of serenity and sophistication to any space, making it a cherished and sought-after addition to bonsai collections around the world.

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.
