The Ilex Crenata bonsai cloud tree stands elegantly at approximately six feet, showcasing a harmonious blend of aesthetic tradition and horticultural prowess. This Japanese holly variety is meticulously shaped, displaying 26 cloud-like arms, a distinct characteristic of "Niwaki," the Japanese art of tree sculpting. These cloud arms are spheres of lush, petite, dark-green leaves, arranged symmetrically, revealing glimpses of the sturdy, twisted branches underneath, each meticulously pruned and shaped to perfection. The compact leaves exhibit a glossy texture, reflecting light with a lustrous sheen, adding a serene ambiance to the surroundings.
The tree's sophisticated structure radiates a sense of balance and tranquility, embodying the timeless elegance inherent to bonsai cultivation. The Ilex Crenata's refined appearance is further accentuated by its smooth, gray bark, providing a subtle contrast to the vibrant green foliage, making it a captivating focal point in any landscape. This unique bonsai cloud tree is not merely a plant but a living sculpture, representing patience, dedication, and the harmonious connection between man and nature. Its breathtaking beauty and intricate design make it a living masterpiece, inviting contemplation and admiration from every viewer.

About Us
During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.
What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
