Prunus mahaleb - B5761
€45.00
VAT included
Native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, Prunus mahaleb, commonly known as the Mahaleb Cherry or St. Lucie Cherry, is highly valued in bonsai cultivation for its elegance, hardiness, and profuse flowering. Its small, rounded, glossy green leaves are well suited to bonsai proportions. In spring, it becomes covered with fragrant white blossoms, providing strong visual appeal. In summer, it produces small black cherry-like fruits, though these are less ornamental in bonsai.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun for healthy growth. Can tolerate partial shade, but flowering and fruiting are more abundant with greater sun exposure.
Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil slightly moist. Avoid waterlogging but do not let the soil dry out completely.
Humidity: Adapts well to different humidity levels and is not demanding.
Pruning: Prune in late winter before bud break, or after flowering. New shoots can be pinched to maintain a compact form.
Fertilization: Fertilise during the growing season with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding in late summer.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, preferably in spring before new growth starts. Use a well-draining substrate.
Flowering and Fruiting: Produces fragrant white flowers in spring, followed by small black fruits in summer. Its greatest ornamental value lies in its abundant flowering.
