Shōryū (昇龍) — 5+ Year Phyllanthus acidus Bonsai (Chuhin Size)

Shōryū (昇龍), meaning “Rising Dragon,” is a Phyllanthus acidus bonsai named for the powerful upward sweep of its textured trunk and the twisting branch movement that rises into a broad trained canopy. At least five years old, this Dai-size specimen has a commanding silhouette with strong movement from root base to apex.

The mature trunk carries deep bark texture and divides into an established network of wired branches. Fine green foliage softens the rugged structure while open spaces reveal the tree’s taper, branch placement and dynamic ascending line.
