Design Inspiration
The Fukien Tea Tree (also sometimes known as Philippine Tea Tree) is a flowering species of Bonsai. It is one of the most popular Bonsai trees due to certain characteristics which it possesses. They are evergreen and also produce white flowers at various points throughout the year and also small berries. The trunks of Fukien Tea trees grow thick and knotted, whilst the leaves remain very small and in proportion with the size of the tree. If cared for well, the Fukien Tea Tree can become extremely striking, especially when blooming.
In the UK this tree should almost always be kept indoors and needs a good amount of sunlight.
