The Japanese pepper tree (xanthoxylum piperitum) is a semi-evergreen bonsai that is kept indoors. It is native to many parts of Asia. It has uniquely shaped round leaves which are glossy and grow close together
This particular tree stands approximately 56cm tall and is elegantly presented in a blue ceramic bonsai pot measuring 18cm depth and 28cm width. Its compact size and graceful shape make it perfect for desks, windowsills, or shelves adding a calming, natural aesthetic to any space.

Please Note: Measurements given are approximate. Depending on the season, the appearance of the tree may vary. The tree that you receive may differ in size and shape to the photo if it has grown or been pruned since.
Japanese pepper trees can be kept indoors, but if the weather is warm, they’ll appreciate spending the day outdoors, just remember to bring them back inside at night. Place your bonsai near a bright, sunny windowsill to ensure it gets plenty of light.
Watering
No strict schedule, watering needs vary based on climate, soil, airflow, and pot size.
We recommend using the submersion method, which we’ve detailed on our Best Way to Water a Bonsai Tree blog post.
Feeding
Feed weekly or fortnightly from March to October with Chrysal Liquid Bonsai Feed (2 ml per litre of water). Add directly to the water during submersion.
Regular pruning keeps your bonsai healthy, compact, and aesthetically pleasing. Growing season (March–September). Trim back new shoots once they grow beyond 3–4 leaves, leaving the two closest leaves.
Wiring is best done during late autumn, when the tree’s growth naturally slows. Use wire that is approximately the same thickness as the branch. This helps gently shape and refine your bonsai’s structure over time.

Repot in early spring with a well-draining bonsai soil mix.
