Native to Europe and western Asia, the Prunus spinosa, commonly known as blackthorn, is highly valued in the bonsai world for its rustic charm and delicate flowering. In spring, it is covered with small white blossoms that contrast beautifully with its dark, thorny branches, creating a striking and elegant display. Its vigorous growth and resilience make it suitable for both beginner and experienced bonsai enthusiasts.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun. It should receive direct sunlight for most of the day to ensure abundant flowering and healthy growth.
Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. The blackthorn enjoys balanced humidity and good drainage.
Humidity: Adapts well to moderate humidity levels. Avoid overly dry locations, especially during summer.
Pruning: Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Handle with care due to its thorns.
Fertilization: Fertilize during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer. Reduce feeding in late summer and avoid during winter.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, preferably in early spring before new buds appear, using a well-draining soil mix suitable for deciduous species.
Flowering: The true beauty of Prunus spinosa lies in its spring bloom — a delicate display of white flowers that contrasts with the strength and dark texture of its trunk, symbolizing renewal and balance.
