Most of the trees that I sell are still a work in progress, but this rare Twin Trunk Strawberry Guava is a completed composition that is now show ready. It is a tree that has never been shown anywhere until today. The tree represents some of the best material I have to offer. I have enjoyed watching this tree grow and mature into the fine bonsai specimen that you see today. Most of the masterpiece bonsai trees that I eventually sell were started by the original first generation Japanese American bonsai masters that Ive studied under here in the west coast. This tree in particular has been worked on several times over the past 30 years by an experienced bonsai master to bring to fruition. Notes on the tree. The strawberry guava is self pollinating. It is only necessary to have one plant for the tree to produce fruit and this tree produces fruit every year. The plant flowers strongly in spring and sporadically in fall; in both instances the flowers are followed by fruit. The flowers are on interior leaf axils rather than on the tips of a branch, so this flowering plant lends itself exceptionally well for bonsai training. The strawberry guava sets fruit easily and does not drop it until it is dead ripe. In the ground, the tree fruits heavily; in a bonsai pot, fruiting is lighter. Fertilizers with a little extra phosphorus and potassium give the best results and can be given to the plant pretty much year round since it is an evergreen. Fall and winter call for less fertilizer than spring and early summer, but the plants seem to thrive better if they are fertilized year round. The entire fruit, skin and all, is edible. The skin is the color of an overripe strawberry, the flesh is white, and the taste is slightly reminiscent of a strawberry. Like most fruiting plants, the strawberry guava does best in a free draining bonsai soil. In a pot, it takes just a little more water than other bonsai, although in the ground it is somewhat drought tolerant when established. It grows slowly, even in the ground, making a small 8-10 foot tree over time. Clearly I have enjoyed having this tree and I will miss eating the fruit the most, but if you would like to add something different to your collection then I recommend that you try the. Strawberry Guava and bon appétit! Adding to the synergy of the powerful twin trunk as well as the entire composition is a big and old oval ceramic bonsai pot (16.5×14x5.5). The sage colored glazed pot with dark brown speckles does have a chop mark that I believe is Japanese, but in truth was too heavy for me to photograph. On a side note. Ive noticed that not too many sellers talk or write about things that should be done after you receive your tree so I will give you my two cents worth. When you receive your tree unpack it carefully. Cut the tape and plastic wrap from the pot and the branches if applicable. Secondly give the tree a good watering and then put the tree in a partially shaded spot for a few days to allow it to adjust. After several days of adjustment your new bonsai can be reintroduced to bright sun. Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to fire off a message.
