Celebrate the quiet arrival of spring with our Japanese Ume (Plum Blossom) Bonsai, carefully cultivated and beautifully presented in a traditional Kokedama moss ball planter. Among the first trees to bloom each year, the Ume Bonsai awakens with delicate blossoms in late winter to early spring (January to March), offering a powerful reminder that warmer days are just around the corner.
While other trees still stand bare and silent, the Ume boldly blossoms, filling the air with a gentle fragrance and gracing its branches with flowers in white, pink, or deep red. In Japanese culture, this tree is celebrated as a symbol of perseverance, purity, and renewal, often appearing in art and poetry as a hopeful sign that spring has begun its journey.
Rooted in the ancient Japanese art of Kokedama, this bonsai’s roots are wrapped in a moss-covered sphere, forming a natural and minimalist planter that’s both functional and stunning. Whether displayed on a decorative tray or suspended for a floating garden effect, the Ume Bonsai adds timeless elegance and seasonal beauty to any space.
