The Kenwith Cypriot Cedar (Cedrus Brevifolia 'Kenwith') has been awarded the 2012 Collector's Conifer of the Year by The American Conifer Society!
This cultivar is among the smallest of the Cyprus Cedar cultivar varieties known for bonsai use. This is a true miniature bonsai species with proportional tiny branches and needles to mimic the look of a larger scale tree in a small size!
A true knockout choice to use in shohin and mame bonsai! Or even to use in fairy gardens, garden railways, terrariums, etc!
Cedrus brevifolia 'Kenwith' is an extremely slow-growing, super compact, and upright-growing conifer. They have tiny, dark-green needles with a fine texture to them. Sometimes it looks like its slightly inward curved branches are covered in felt fabric! If you live in regions with high heat and humidity, you may need to do a bit more needle thinning to prevent its foliage from cooking itself since you need to encourage more airflow on such a naturally tight needle structure. But overall it's quite easy to take care of since it's steady for a tiny bonsai tree.
Talk about taking things nice and slow! According to the American Conifer Society’s website, after 10 years of growth a mature specimen will only be about 12 inches (30 cm) tall and two-thirds as wide, suggesting a growth rate of less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) per year! Due to this snail-like growth rate, it’s recommended that you adopt a more natural style to maintain the tree’s mass if you prefer a fuller look.
Note that all pre-bonsai trees will come in a plastic nursery growing pot. This specific pre-bonsai tree has been grafted.
