Azalea
Rhododendron / indicum

360-degree model by Michigan Photography
MBGNA-B-087
This satsuki azalea ‘Osakazuki’ demonstrates classic attributes as a bonsai (rather than how it would grow as a garden shrub.) With time and skill, the massive trunk has been developed and so too the intricate nebari – or root structure – to present a dignified composition. When in bloom, the bright pink flowers hide the foliage to stunning effect.
- Style: Informal Upright
- Common name: Azalea
- Species: indicum
- Genus: Rhododendron
- ID: MBGNA-B-087
- Makeup: Semi-evergreen
