Outdoor Bonsai — Cotoneaster sp. — Penjing Style — 5+ Years
A charming shohin-sized Penjing creation — this Cotoneaster has been growing for 5+ years and has been in active bonsai training since 2026. At just 10 cm, it punches well above its size with a convincing aged trunk, fine ramification, and delicate small leaves that are classic to the species. A perfect entry point into the Penjing Creation Collection.
Planted in a handmade NZ ceramic pot by Jan — a soft powder-blue glazed piece with a beautifully organic, irregular form. Small tree, big character.
