Know before you buy
The low-profile, rectangular design is specifically engineered for saikei and forest-style bonsai arrangements. Its elongated shape provides ample surface area for grouping multiple trees or creating miniature landscape scenes.

We provide both. The exterior measures 18" L x 7.6" W x 1.4" H, while the interior planting space is 16.9" L x 6.5" W x 0.9" H. Be sure to account for the interior dimensions when planning your root ball size.
