Originally from the sub tropics of South China and Hong Kong, the Surinam Cherry Bonsai Tree grows equally well inside or out. Used as an indoor plant they lend an elegant feel to any room and will be noticed by your friends and guests.

The trunk of the Surinam Cherry Bonsai Tree is thin with leaves that are dark green, which change to a beautiful shade of red or copper during different seasons. The trunk and branches that grow out are covered in cherry red bark that unusually comes off in layers. The branches will produce a fruit of reddish color that grow in the spring and summer, but not until the tree has aged for a few years.

In caring for the Surinam Cherry Bonsai Tree, there are certain precise procedures that have to be followed. The tree must be watered fully throughout its foliage. A spray bottle is the perfect tool for this job. The water must be distilled drinking water or Reverse Osmosis purified water because regular tap water or carbon filtered water can contain chlorine metals and minerals that are very harmful to bonsai trees. As a rule of thumb, let the soil dry out between watering times. With the right type of fertilizer, water, and full to moderate sunshine your bonsai tree will thrive.

I have never seen a Surinam Bonsai Tree on the market younger than six years and pricing is based on the age of the tree; however, their beauty makes them worth any extra cost.

Bonsai trees can be very pleasing to look at from several different angles with the proper grooming. This is not a one step process. This training and pruning can be done several ways and may take many years. The use of weights can be very helpful in this process. Weights can change the look of the tree, drastically. The owner may prefer to see just how the tree is going to grow before taking any steps. Once the tree begins to grow upward, the owner may trim off undesirable parts or simply wire it to grow in a more desireable direction. With a little patience the owner of a bonsai tree can make it very pleasing to the eye. Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Bonsai plants need re-potting from time to time. This has to be done very carefully to make sure the plant does not die in the procedure. When the plant is taken out for transplanting a portion of the roots should be trimmed or cut, which helps reducing its size and then the re-potting should be done in a larger pot.

I sincerely hope that I have enlightened you about the Surinam Cherry Bonsai Tree and special care and work that is involved in the process of creating one. All the work that goes into the creation is what makes the plant so special. It is as if it was a child and you were helping it develop into maturity.
