The story of this tree

Grown from seed at our nursery in Merate, about five years ago. A curving trunk with movement from the base, over raised roots, already in a glazed rectangular bonsai pot. Photographed on 13 October 2026, as it ships.

Chaenomeles japonica, the Japanese flowering quince, is one of the easiest flowering species for bonsai. It flowers on bare wood in late winter, often while there is still frost, sets scented yellow fruit in autumn and buds back readily after pruning. The wood stays flexible for years, so branches can be bent even when they are old. It is fully hardy and wants to be outdoors all year: the winter cold is what sets the flower buds. Our care guide for Chaenomeles japonica covers watering, pruning after flowering and repotting.

Full sun to light afternoon shade — sun drives the flowering.

Feed

Feed regularly through the growing season, easing off during peak bloom.

Repot

Every 2–3 years in early spring, after flowering, before strong growth.

Soil

Neutral to slightly acidic, free-draining.

Prune

Prune selectively after the main flush; mind the thorns when wiring.

1-to-1 Consultation

The courier was late, but the plant is healthy, thanks also to the excellent packaging. A promising larch with a good line and already good foliage. A vaguely literati style that can be accentuated. It deserves a proper pot. Very satisfied.

FAQs

How is a specimen shipped?

In its pot, with the soil secured and the tree braced inside a rigid box. Delivery across the EU is included in the price. We ship Monday to Wednesday so the tree never spends a weekend in a depot. You can also collect it at our nursery in Merate.

Is this the exact tree I will receive?

Yes. Every specimen is photographed after its last major styling work and you receive that tree, in that pot. If anything changes before it ships (a branch removed, a repot), we update the photos first.

When is the best time to receive it?

Any time of year. In the hottest weeks of summer we may hold a shipment for a few days. A tree arriving in winter should go straight to a sheltered spot outdoors, not into a heated room.

When does it flower?

In winter and early spring, before the leaves. Keep it outdoors through winter; the cold is what triggers flowering.

Is this the final pot?

It is a proper bonsai pot. The next repot is a spring job, when the roots have filled it.
