Japanese Holly
Beginner Level
Care Profile
The Japanese Holly Bonsai (Ilex crenata) is a dense, broadleaf evergreen celebrated for its tiny, boxwood-like leaves that are easy to keep compact and for its tolerance of heavy pruning and shaping. Because it is highly resilient, thrives in standard outdoor conditions, and readily develops a fine branch structure, it is considered to have an easy difficulty level for bonsai enthusiasts.
