The Brazilian Rain Tree (Chloroleucon tortum) is one of the most beloved species in tropical bonsai — gorgeous, vibrant compound foliage that folds closed at night and when it rains, a trunk that flutes as it matures, and naturally exfoliating bark. Very hardy and fast growing, it shines in African-style flat-top designs as well as many other styles.
This forest-style planting groups several trees in a single pot, capturing a miniature grove with the species' feathery canopy on full display.
One-of-a-kind planting: the forest pictured is the exact planting you will receive, professionally styled by the Bonsai Bar team in a tan rectangle pot by Willow Bonsai.

Shipping & Arrival
To ensure safe delivery, we prefer to ship trees between Monday and Wednesday at the latest, so your bonsai is never caught in an accidental weekend delay. Some leaf drop during shipment is completely normal. If leaves drop in transit, place your tree in a very sunny spot and water only once the topsoil has dried out — take care not to overwater while the tree has few or no leaves.
