Lavender Starflower Bonsai with Open Branching and Lavender Blooms
This Lavender Starflower has a more open, mature-looking branch structure than some of the others in this batch. The canopy is not overly dense, so you can actually see the trunk and established branching underneath the foliage. It was photographed in early July while it was actively flowering and covered in additional buds.
We did not prune it because it was continuing to flower, and then I forgot to post it. So, it has continued growing since these photographs were taken and will be a little leggier than shown. The trunk and underlying branches are the same. It simply has additional summer growth that can be enjoyed for now or pruned back later.
This is the exact Lavender Starflower bonsai you will receive.

About This Tree
This tree has a lot of character already. The open branching gives it a more mature appearance, and the blue pot is a great contrast with the green foliage and lavender flowers. It can be allowed to continue flowering or pruned back later to create a tighter silhouette.
Shipping Expectations
Lavender Starflower is known for dropping foliage during shipping. Some trees lose only a few leaves, while others may drop quite a bit. This is normal for the species and does not automatically mean the tree is unhealthy.
Once it settles back into warmth and bright light, it will normally begin producing fresh growth. If you are expecting the tree to arrive looking exactly as it does in the photographs, this may not be the right species for you. The tree has grown since these photos were taken, and it may also lose foliage during transit.
The trunk, branches, pot, and underlying tree are exactly what you are purchasing.
