Compacta Boxwood Pre-Bonsai
This hardy Buxus microphylla ‘Compacta’ pre-bonsai is an exceptional example of structure, balance, and compact growth. The trunk displays gentle movement and aged bark, while the lush canopy of small, glossy leaves gives the tree a well-proportioned and mature appearance.
Boxwoods have long been favored by bonsai artists for their reliability, cold tolerance, and year-round greenery. The Compacta variety grows tighter than standard boxwood, producing dense foliage pads and excellent ramification even under moderate pruning. This tree has been carefully cultivated to establish strong roots and refined branch structure — ideal for continued training or immediate display in its current form.
