Amur Maackia Outdoor Bonsai Tree – Cold Hardy with Summer Blossoms
Not surprisingly, the Amur Maackia bonsai, which is notable for its extreme cold hardiness comes from Russia where is thrives under a wide range of soil conditions but does best in well drained loam. This particular tree, which is almost 13 years old and stands 12 inches tall is showing amazing potential to grow into an exceptional example. If you have been looking for a unique gift idea with the potential to last for years and keep on giving you really don’t have to look beyond this unusual tree.
Few North Americans have ever heard of this type of tree and that in itself gives it a certain cache with people who want to own something special – off the beaten path. Still, as long as you can make sure it gets lots of sun and being in a bonsai pot – some degree of winter protection, this tree will make a reasonably easy care outdoor bonsai.
It’s a slow grower – another positive trait- and its white flowers that show up in the summer and hang in long racemes will stand upright as the tree matures. The exposed roots on this wonderful bonsai add to the interest and the uniqueness of this tree and it’s value as an imaginative gift.
