Native from South Florida down to Central America, the Tropical Mahogany (Lysiloma latisiliquum) carries fine, feathery compound foliage and produces charming small white puff flowers. It grows quickly, and its new growth wires easily — a rewarding tree to train.
What is a bonsai forest? A bonsai forest (or group planting) is a bonsai style comprising the planting of several or many trees of one species, typically an odd number, in a bonsai pot.
One-of-a-kind tree: the bonsai pictured is the exact tree you will receive, professionally styled by the Bonsai Bar team and planted in a 7" blue 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.
