Description
This is a well-established Fukien Tea bonsai featuring a thick, curving trunk that tapers nicely towards a dense, rounded canopy. The tree exhibits good ramification and healthy, small green leaves, indicative of careful cultivation over many years. It is presented in an unglazed rectangular pot, with moss covering the soil surface.
