Description
Why we love it
This is a statement piece with real presence — a sculptural Juniperus ‘Mint Julep’ bonsai, cloud-pruned into soft, rounded forms that feel both calm and architectural. Planted into a Corten Steel Bocca Planter, it has that perfect contrast of fresh green foliage against the warm, weathered patina of steel — contemporary, timeless, and incredibly easy to place in a design.
It’s the kind of piece that instantly “finishes” a terrace, courtyard, entrance, or outdoor dining space — especially where you want structure all year round without fuss.
Size
- Bonsai height: approx. 80cm
- Bonsai spread: approx. 120–150cm wide
- Planter: Corten Steel Bocca Planter, 80cm diameter
Best for
- Front door / entrance statements
- Courtyards and modern patios
- Roof terraces and balconies (where weight-bearing allows)
- Outdoor dining areas needing year-round structure
- Pairing with architectural planting: grasses, olives, pleached trees, or minimalist schemes
Growing conditions
- Position: Full sun to light shade (best shape and density in sun)
- Soil: Free-draining (important in pots)
- Watering: Water well after planting and keep evenly moist in the first season; once established, it’s drought-tolerant but will still need regular watering in a container during warm spells
- Hardiness: Very hardy and reliable for Irish gardens
- Maintenance: Light trimming to keep the cloud forms crisp; remove any stray shoots to maintain the silhouette
What makes this one special
- A mature, trained bonsai form with strong structure and instant impact
- Evergreen — holds its shape and colour through every season
- Planted into a premium Corten Steel Bocca Planter for a complete, ready-to-place feature
- The planter will continue to weather beautifully, developing richer tones over time
Caragh’s Garden Notebook
If you want this to look its best for years (and stay beautifully “bonsai”), think of it like a living sculpture:
- Watering rule: In pots, check little and often — especially in wind or sun. Water deeply when the top few centimetres feel dry.
- Feed: A gentle evergreen feed in spring will keep growth lush and healthy.
- Trim little + often: Small, regular snips keep the cloud-pruned shape far better than one heavy cut.
- Winter care: Corten is made for the outdoors, and Juniper is hardy — just make sure the pot drains freely so it never sits waterlogged.
