Rare Red Flowering Chojubai with Upright Trunk and Eimei Tokoname Pot
This is the exact Red Flowering Chojubai you will receive.
This Red Flowering Chojubai has a compact upright form with wonderful old bark, healthy new growth, and an exposed root base that gives the tree far more character than its size suggests. Chojubai are rare, slow-growing, and highly collectible, especially when they already show mature trunk texture and a root base worth building around.
The tree is planted in a 7" Eimei Tokoname ceramic pot purchased by Ashley, owner of Bonsai Outlet, while visiting Eimei in Tokoname, Japan in November 2025. A photo of Ashley with Eimei is included so you can see the provenance behind the pot.
At 9" tall from table to apex with a 5" spread, this is a small but serious outdoor bonsai. The upright trunk, compact branching, fresh foliage, and cream Eimei pot give it a refined collector feel today, with excellent potential for continued development over time.
Why This Tree Stands Out
- Rare Red Flowering Chojubai: A slow-growing, highly desirable flowering bonsai variety valued by collectors.
- Upright Trunk Character: The trunk has aged bark, compact movement, and strong structure for a small tree.
- Exposed Root Base: The roots add age, texture, and visual interest at the soil line.
- Eimei Tokoname Pot: Planted in a 7" Eimei pot selected by Ashley in Tokoname, Japan in November 2025.
- Compact Collector Size: At 9" tall with a 5" spread, this tree has presence without needing much display space.

About This Tree
Red Flowering Chojubai are prized for their rarity, compact growth, red seasonal flowers, and ability to develop exceptional aged character over time. This tree already has a strong foundation, with textured bark, exposed roots, and a compact upright structure.
The Eimei Tokoname pot adds a meaningful collector detail. It was purchased directly in Tokoname, Japan by Bonsai Outlet’s owner, giving this tree a story that goes beyond the tree itself.
Care Notes
Chojubai should be grown outdoors. Provide good light, airflow, consistent watering, and seasonal dormancy. Protect the pot and roots during harsh winter conditions, but do not treat this as an indoor tropical tree.
