vitality and age, combining a naturally flowing live vein with a <b>massive, expressive deadwood<\/b>. Standing 80 cm tall, the tree conveys both strength and elegance, its structure emphasizing the harmony between living tissue and sculptural decay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The display is complemented by an <b>old vintage Chinese pot<\/b>, chosen to echo the red tones of the solitary fruit, while the remaining yellow leaves of fall provide a vibrant contrast against the green of the container. The combination of color, texture, and form creates a visually compelling composition that draws the viewer\u2019s eye along the tree\u2019s natural flow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This specimen exemplifies the beauty of pomegranate as a bonsai species: vigorous growth, resilience, and the ability to harmonize bold deadwood with delicate seasonal detail. Currently awaiting presentation at the <b>National Exhibition in Portugal<\/b>, this tree promises to captivate with its presence, seasonal charm, and dynamic interplay between life and age.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":10369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[324],"class_list":["post-10366","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_entries-bx25"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>25 - Ivo Santos - Punica granatum - Bonsaigers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonsaigers.com\/it\/portfolio-item\/santos\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"it_IT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"25 - Ivo Santos - Punica granatum - Bonsaigers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.bonsaigers.com\/it\/portfolio-item\/santos\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Bonsaigers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-17T16:16:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.bonsaigers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1-15-824x1030.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"824\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1030\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Tempo di lettura stimato\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minuti\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/it\\\/portfolio-item\\\/santos\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/it\\\/portfolio-item\\\/santos\\\/\",\"name\":\"25 - Ivo Santos - Punica granatum - Bonsaigers\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/it\\\/portfolio-item\\\/santos\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/it\\\/portfolio-item\\\/santos\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/11\\\/1-15-scaled.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-11-17T14:54:13+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-08-17T16:16:05+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/it\\\/portfolio-item\\\/santos\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/it\\\/portfolio-item\\\/santos\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/it\\\/portfolio-item\\\/santos\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/11\\\/1-15-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/11\\\/1-15-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2048,\"height\":2560},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/it\\\/portfolio-item\\\/santos\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.bonsaigers.com\\\/home-2\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"25 &#8211;
