Oak bonsai "quercus cerris" 2-4

€500.00 TTC
Data sheet

The oak in bonsai is a strong tree with remarkable bark, and we've been growing them for 40 years in our nursery. It's the oak of our countryside, of our forests, and contrary to popular belief, it's perfectly possible to make magnificent bonsai from it. Over the years, it develops a massive trunk with solid carpenter branches that evoke all the power of this tree. It is easy to grow.

Its foliage is marcescent, which means that in autumn, the leaves wither, curl up and turn brown but do not fall off. They will only come off the following spring, driven by the appearance of new foliage.

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.

The photos are contractual, i.e. the tree and pot you see in the photo 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, so they are referenced by numbers to differentiate them.

We ship throughout France and neighbouring countries that are part of the EU and we take care to pack each bonsai in custom-made wooden crates or reinforced cartons. The tree is well protected and tied to prevent any risk of breakage.

Depending on the size and weight of your bonsai, shipping is carried out by specialised carriers: DPD & GEODIS

Our priority is that the delivery of your bonsai goes smoothly. For this, shipments are rarely made at the end of the week and never during heat waves, we regularly check and check the tracking of your packages.

Do not hesitate to consult our delivery page to learn more about our methods.

Cultivation Advice

Outdoors in all seasons. In summer, if you live in a hot region, prefer an easterly position with morning sun and afternoon shade.

Plenty during hot spells, the rest of the time water when the top of the substrate is dry. Do not allow the root ball to dry out and avoid watering the leaves.

Fresh soil rich in organic matter. Re-pot in spring, when the buds swell and the first leaves appear.

In winter, remove superfluous branches by chewing the cuttings. During the growing season, prune green shoots when they have 5 to 7 leaves.

Every 2 months from May to October.
