April 2005 – Each year I find that I have to cut back the new growth to promote growth for the next year. You can see how the new foliage comes in a bit green.

In this picture you can see two very small yellow flowers in the center of the foliage. In the Fall these tree flower, however they should be pulled off as soon as they show because it causes the tree to die back a bit.
In the spring of 2004 I removed about 75% of the branches to grow clippings. This left a very curvy truck that has grown to about 1 1/2″ in such a short period of time. However the tree put out new shoots almost immediately and is back to its bushy self. I’m not certain when I will turn this into a Bonsai, but it is promising to be something very special.

It is a tropic plant, and grows very fast. Very uncommon, however gaining attention as a bonsai. This tree is only 1 1/2 years old and has nearly a 1/2″ trunk. Just letting it grow out and develop branches before working on this one. (September 2003)
