About this Japanese Beech Bonsai, 34 Years Old (Fagus crenata)

Outdoor bonsai care
We don’t have a species care guide for this tree yet, so here is what holds true for any outdoor bonsai, start here and adjust as you learn the plant:
- Light
- Outdoors year-round in full sun unless the species specifically wants shade. Outdoor species decline indoors.
- Water
- Check daily in the growing season, a pot in summer sun can go from moist to bone dry in a day.
- Winter
- The roots in the pot are far more exposed than roots in the ground. Protect them before the first hard freeze.
- Soil
- Free-draining and gritty. Standard potting compost holds too much water and suffocates roots.
Read the overwintering guide, how to water a bonsai, and diagnose a problem by symptom if something looks wrong. You can also browse the species we do have care guides for.
