About this Medium Flowering Brush Cherry Bonsai, 9 Years Old (Eugenia myrtifolia)

Eugenia myrtifolia, listed elsewhere as Syzygium paniculatum and known commonly as the Australian brush cherry, makes a neat indoor bonsai. The evergreen leaves are small, firm and glossy, and where the tree receives generous light they take on red highlights. Large, puffy white blooms open through the summer. This one is 9 years old and measures 9 to 10 inches tall, a size that sits comfortably on a windowsill or a side table without demanding much room.

Brush Cherry bonsai care

This is a living Brush Cherry (Syzygium paniculatum). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

Indoor / outdoor
Indoor in winter, in a greenhouse or the house; outside in a sheltered spot in warm weather. Herons keeps it as an indoor tree
Light
Sunny and warm; it can take full sun, with partial shade in the hottest areas; Yorkshire Bonsai adds afternoon shade in heat
Water
Water thoroughly once the soil surface starts to dry, but never let the inner rootball dry out; generously in summer, less in winter. Rainwater if your tap water is hard
USDA zones
12 to 13 in a pot: zone 12's winter lows of 50 to 60°F (10 to 16°C) only just meet Yorkshire Bonsai's 50°F (10°C) minimum, so bring it in on cold nights there; zone 13's lows of 60 to 70°F (16 to 21°C) clear it and match Phoenix Bonsai's preferred 59 to 64°F (15 to 18°C). In the ground UF/IFAS gives 10 to 11 and Phoenix Bonsai 10b and 11
Main risks
Main risks, not ranked by any source: cold and frost, drafts and temperature swings, uneven watering, hard water, pests
