Photinia Villosa Bonsai Tree – 25cm Cream Pot
The Photinia villosa, also known as Oriental Photinia and Christmas Berry, is a beautiful and unusual bonsai species, prized for its elegant branching, seasonal colour, and ornamental flowers and fruit. Closely related to other Photinia varieties, this tree offers year-round interest and makes a striking feature bonsai for patios, gardens, or outdoor display areas.
In spring and early summer, Photinia villosa may produce clusters of small creamy-white flowers, followed later in the year by decorative red berries that add even more visual appeal. As autumn arrives, the foliage can transform into rich shades of orange, bronze, and red, making this an especially rewarding tree for seasonal displays.
Supplied in a stylish 25cm cream ceramic pot, this bonsai is ready to enjoy straight away and is an excellent choice for growers looking for something a little different from the more common bonsai species.

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.
