Persimmon Bonsai with Incredible Sculptural Base and Wide Canopy

A Persimmon with an Incredible Base and Plenty of Growth to Work With

This is the exact tree shown in the photos.

The base is what makes this Persimmon special. It is thick, exposed, and full of twists, folds, and unusual movement. Every angle shows something different, and the dark, textured bark makes the base look even more dramatic.

This tree has been allowed to grow. The long extensions reach in every direction and give it an impressive 30" spread, even though the tree stands only 13" tall. I have not cut it back or tried to make it look finished for the photographs. The next owner gets to decide which branches to keep, where to shorten the growth, and how compact or wide to make the future design.

There is a lot of established branching underneath the foliage, making this an interesting tree for someone who enjoys working through a tree and finding the best structure.

Persimmon is also appreciated for its seasonal flowers and fruit. The exact species and flowering history of this tree have not been confirmed, so I am not selling it as a guaranteed fruiting specimen. Flowering and fruiting can depend on the species, maturity, growing conditions, and pollination, but that possibility is still part of what makes Persimmon such an interesting bonsai subject.

The tree is planted in an 8" ceramic bonsai pot that keeps the overall composition compact and allows the extraordinary base to remain the main focus.

Seasonal Interest

Persimmon is a deciduous species with interest throughout the growing season. Depending on the exact species, maturity, pollination, and growing conditions, the tree may produce flowers followed by fruit. Its leaves can also develop fall color before dropping for winter dormancy.

This tree has not been identified to the exact species, and no flowering or fruiting history has been confirmed. Flowers and fruit should be viewed as potential seasonal features rather than a guarantee.

Photography Note

This tree was photographed on August 9, 2026. The photos show the actual tree for sale at the time of photography.

Persimmon is deciduous. Its leaves will change color and drop in the fall, and the tree will remain bare during winter dormancy before producing fresh growth in spring.

Shipping Note

This tree ships from Massachusetts. It will be watered, secured, and packed carefully for shipment. Minor movement of the foliage, moss, or soil may occur during transit.

Care Note

Persimmon bonsai must be grown outdoors. Give the tree plenty of sunlight, good airflow, and thorough watering whenever the soil begins approaching dryness. Do not allow the root system to dry out completely.

Persimmon requires a cold winter dormancy. Protect the pot and root system during severe winter weather, especially from drying winds and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
