Outdoor Bonsai — Cotoneaster sp. — Penjing Style — 5+ Years

A bold and expressive Penjing-styled Cotoneaster — 5+ years old and in active bonsai training since 2026. At 18 cm, the heavily wired trunk spirals with real energy before splitting into an upright and cascading branch structure. Fine ramification and small leaves give this tree excellent visual density for its size.

Planted in a handmade NZ ceramic pot by Jan — a striking deep blue glazed square vessel with fluted sides and warm terracotta feet. A compact powerhouse of Penjing character.
