It has dark green leaves (bronze or red depending on the season) and red bark that peels off in layers. It has a slender truck and the branches spread outward. As the tree matures it will produce red fruit which appears during the spring and summer.

In caring for the Surinam Cherry Bonsai Tree, there are certain precise procedures that have to be followed. The tree must be watered fully throughout its foliage.
