Nejikan Pomegranate bonsai

This Nejikan Pomegranate bonsai shows off the spiralled, twisting trunk that gives the variety its name and its fame. Nejikan pomegranates are sought for exactly this quality: the trunk corkscrews on itself, the bark splitting into ribboned, sinewy strands that wind around the spiral. It is one of the most sculptural things a small tree can offer, and on a pomegranate, with its naturally fibrous old wood, the effect is hard to beat. The tree comes in the pot shown.

Above the twisting trunk, the small glossy leaves catch the light, and in season the species carries its flame-orange flowers and round fruit. Viewed from the front, the spiral of the trunk does most of the talking, drawing the eye round and up through the tree. It is the kind of base that simply cannot be hurried, and that makes a good Nejikan a genuine collector’s piece.

Heritage

The pomegranate is among the oldest cultivated trees, native to the lands between the Mediterranean and Persia and planted around courtyards and gardens since antiquity. The Nejikan form, with its naturally twisting trunk, has long been prized in Japanese bonsai for the drama it brings to an already characterful species. To own one is to hold a meeting of Mediterranean warmth and Japanese eye for form.

About this specimen

The standout feature here is the spiralled trunk and its ribboned bark, balanced by a crown that holds together cleanly from the front. It is a single living specimen, photographed as it is, and the pot is included.

A Nejikan pomegranate is a tree built around one extraordinary trunk. Bring this one home and it will be the piece guests notice first.
