A Celastrus orbiculatus (Chinese snowball or Oriental vine) bonsai, a deciduous, fruit-bearing variety, prized for its deep orange autumn fruits which linger for a long time on the bare branches. In spring, it is prized for its small, greenish-yellow clusters of flowers. It is a dioecious plant, meaning there are male and female specimens: female plants are characterised by their production of orange berries, but fruiting requires the presence of at least one male plant nearby for pollination. The green foliage turns orange-yellow in autumn and is shed in winter. The exposed-root style (Neagari) features a sinuous, natural trunk that grows upwards, supported by visible, well-structured roots, which add strength and character to the plant, conveying a genuine sense of maturity and balance. Grown in a round, green-glazed stoneware pot, it highlights the colour of the leaves and complements the refined appearance of the bonsai perfectly.
Grow bonsai outdoors all year round, taking care to place it in a sheltered spot in summer in warmer climates and in winter when there is frost or cold winds.
Always respect the dry and wet cycles: whenever the soil feels dry to the touch, water abundantly. Then wait for the soil to dry before watering again in the same way.
