Care Profile
The Oak Bonsai (Quercus) is revered for its deeply fissured, aged bark, strong structure, and the large, impressive trunks it develops, creating a true miniature version of a forest monarch. However, due to its large natural leaf size (which is difficult to reduce), its sensitivity to root disturbance during repotting, and susceptibility to powdery mildew, it is generally considered to have an intermediate to advanced difficulty level.
