Olive Bonsai, double trunk style Bonsai (Sokan) We individually photographed all our trees and bonsai. From a master grower in Tuscany we are delighted with the arrival of our hand picked Bonsai. Bonsai trees can live for hundreds of years if properly cared for. Bonsai trees are traditionally associated with Zen Buddhism and are often used to evoke a sense of tranquility and contemplation. Bonsai trees are admired for their aesthetic beauty and the illusion of age and maturity they convey.Delivered by hand by our specialist courier. Delivery included.
What is Sokan form?
The double trunk style is common in nature, but is not actually that common in the art of Bonsai. Usually both trunks will grow out of one root system, but it is also possible that the smaller trunk grows out of the larger trunk just above the ground. The two trunks will vary in both thickness and length, the thicker and more developed trunk grows nearly upright, while the smaller trunk will grow out a bit slanted. Both trunks will contribute to a single crown of leaves/canopy.
Caring for your Olive Bonsai
During the growing season feed the tree every week with liquid fertilizer such as organic liquid seaweed or our slow release feed. Bonsai trees require a balance of sunlight and shade to thrive.
Maintenance pruning can be done throughout the growing season, from early spring to late autumn for outdoor Bonsai. Indoor Bonsai can be pruned year-round. For most trees, pruning two to four times a year is recommended.
