About this Flowering Brush Cherry Ball Bonsai, Upright, 19 Years Old (Eugenia myrtifolia)

Eugenia myrtifolia, listed in many references as Syzygium paniculatum and known commonly as Australian brush cherry, carries small evergreen leaves of firm texture and high gloss. Its flowers open white. Given generous light, the foliage takes on red highlights as well. This example has been grown for 19 years and is shaped in an upright ball style, standing 30 inches tall on a 13 by 13 inch base. It does well as an indoor bonsai, where a position close to a bright window will suit it.

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
