Oak bonsai "quercus cerris" 1-8

The oak tree in bonsai

It is the oak of our countryside, of our forests, and contrary to popular belief it is quite possible to make magnificent bonsai from it. Over the years, it develops a massive trunk with strong scaffold branches that evoke all the power of this tree.

It is quite easy to grow. Its only drawback is that it is susceptible to powdery mildew, a fungus that grows on the leaves and forms like a white felt. It appears when heat and humidity are present, so avoid overwatering the leaves of your oak.

Caring for an oak tree in bonsai

Location : outdoors in all seasons. In summer, if you live in a hot region, prefer an eastern exposure with morning sun and afternoon shade.

Watering : abundant during hot weather, the rest of the time water when the top of the substrate is dry. Do not let the root ball dry out and avoid watering the leaves.

Substrate and repotting : fresh soils rich in organic matter. Repot in the spring, when the buds swell and the first leaves appear.

Pruning : In winter, remove unnecessary branches by chewing the cuts. During the growing season, prune the shoot green when it has made 5 to 7 leaves.

Fertilization : April to September.

How does the delivery work?

We ship bonsai throughout France and neighbouring countries that are part of the EU.

Each bonsai is individually wrapped in a wooden box, with the pot securely attached to avoid any risk of breakage of the pottery or branching.

Depending on the size and/or weight, the shipment is made by La Poste or by specialized carrier (with appointment by SMS).
In order to prevent your bonsai from staying in transit for too long, shipments are never made on weekends or during heat waves.

The + of our bonsai nursery

The bonsai tree you see in the picture is really the one you are going to receive. To find out the dimension, refer to the scale on the side. Each product is unique and we take care to take photos that give you the most accurate preview possible of what you will receive.

All bonsai are produced in our large nursery in Lot-et-Garonne. They are therefore perfectly adapted to the climate of France, which is not always the case with Japanese imports.

We have more than 1000 bonsai for sale at the nursery and tens of thousands under cultivation and work. This site is only a meagre representation of our production, but it is impossible for us to put all our stock online. So if you're passing by, don't hesitate to visit us!
