Rare in cultivation, for a collector  and bonsaï's lover. 

This variety presents an orange/golden yellow-colored foliage at the beginning of the season and also on the new shoots in summer. The structure cut may be strict (you may let only few leaves, it grows again easily at this season only) and will be done in full dormancy between mid-May and mid-June under the advice of Mister Hashimoto, its original grower in Fukaya, Japan, who has been forming bonsaïs from cutting like this since about 25 years. 

During summer, it will require a daily and generous watering and you may do the fertilization once a month with biogold from May to October.

A shady exposure will be the best for this bonsaï.
