A tree of history and transformation, this Punica granatum has been cultivated as a bonsai for 40 years, originally shaped by an Italian bonsai artist before joining our collection last year. Alongside nine other trees of the same legacy, this small yet powerful specimen, standing at around 30cm, carries the weight of decades in its compact form.

What makes this tree truly special is its seasonal beauty. Throughout the year, it undergoes stunning changes—delicate flowers emerge in spring, later giving way to its signature miniature pomegranates, adding a vibrant touch to its elegant silhouette. Its presence shifts effortlessly between strength and delicacy, a balance that defines the essence of bonsai.

This year, the tree found its new home in a handmade ceramic pot, rich in textures and soft pastel tones of yellow and brown, a container that enhances its character while grounding it in warmth and natural beauty. As it continues its evolution, it will be shaped in a naturalistic style, inspired by the vision of Walter Pall, embracing the informal yet structured grace of a hokidachi (broom-style) design.

A tree of resilience, artistry, and changing beauty, this Punica granatum will continue to develop, blending time-honored tradition with a future shaped by nature’s own rhythm.
