   Shohin Olive Bonsai — Olea europaea sylvestris
  
 
 

  
   
    Small-Leaved Wild Olive | Outdoor | Hand-Selected UK Bonsai
   
  
 
 

  
   This Shohin Wild Olive has the characteristics people hunt for: compact leaf size, 
    defined trunk movement, and a mature silhouette that’s rare at this scale. Each tree 
    in this batch was selected for proportion, branch placement and overall balance.
  
 
 

  
   If you're looking for a small outdoor bonsai with real presence (not just a “tiny plant in a pot”), 
    this is the one.
