Aleppo pine bonsai (14)

Presentation

A specimen of Pinus halepensis, the Aleppo pine typical of Mediterranean coastlines, 38 cm tall and set on a trunk with broad movement that rises in curves up to the canopy. The 5 cm nebari and the grey bark, already fissured at the base, give visual weight to the lower part of the tree. Ideal for anyone growing outdoors and looking for an already formed Mediterranean conifer.

How to care for it

Full sun all year round: this is what keeps the candles short and the needles compact, whereas in shade the growth stretches and the pads lose definition. Water only when the substrate dries at the surface, at short intervals during the hot months and very sparingly from November to February, since waterlogging is the most common cause of damage to this conifer.

Frequently asked questions

Is the plant I receive the one in the photo?

Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind specimen and the photo shows the very tree that will be sent. As it is a living plant, the foliage may look different on delivery due to natural growth, pruning, pinching or seasonal changes: structure, trunk and measurements remain as described.

How much space does it take up and how much does it weigh once in place?

The oval pot measures 31 x 25 cm with a height of 10 cm, while the plant reaches 38 cm. Total weight is 7.6 kg, so a stable surface is needed: a sturdy windowsill, an outdoor table or a display stand will hold it without problems.

Can it be kept indoors?

No. The Aleppo pine is an outdoor conifer and needs direct light and seasonal temperature swings to stay compact. A balcony, terrace or garden are the right places; indoors, within a few weeks the needles weaken and the plant declines.
