Red Sandalwood | Twisted, Windswept, Rare Potted Bonsai

Red Sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) Also known as Sandalwood Red, it belongs to the Pterocarpus genus in the legume family. Its wood is extremely hard with a calm, stable grain. With exceptionally high wood density, it sinks in water. A top-tier, highly representative precious wood in Eastern culture since ancient times. It grows extremely slowly, as the saying goes, "a hundred years yields an inch of sandalwood." The leaf shape is elegant, with compound leaves composed of 3 to 5 leaflets. The leaflets are small, slightly thick, and lustrous. It is perfectly suited for year-round wiring and care as a miniature bonsai. The artistry of bonsai lies in its creation process. This bonsai, with its shaped and structured branches, thrives with appropriate sunlight and requires only watering and pruning for maintenance. Commercial slow-release fertilizer is sufficient. Management is simple. /In Stock/ Photos 1-10, taken on 2026/6/25 Pot age: 12+ years. The trunk has been shaped since it was a sapling, resulting in a unique, twisted, and sinuous trunk.
